I don’t even watch Fox, and I’m pro Trump. I put on an old movie when I run out of things to watch. I only want to watch Fox for the election results.

And CNN is the main source of US 'news' to Europe.

Yep, most every airport in Europe has them. When I talk with my European co-workers, they seem amazed that so many of us in the Aerospace business voted for Trump.

There will ALWAYS be a few nut cases to watch it.

The thing is, MSNBC already had a head start on them. People who want objective news will go elsewhere.
"CNN used to have the veneer of credibility", NOT as long as I've been around.


The Clinton New Network was a fitting moniker.

I'll flip over to see how jaw droppingly biased their "news reporting" is, several times a week.

But it is usually so outrageously one-sided, you can't watch with a straight face for very long.

When a network lies to its watchers every.single.day, the customers/viewers catch on before long, and they will completely stop watching.

They should just drop the "neutral reporting" BS & masquerade, and be upfront that all of their "news" is just their left/liberal originated opinion.

Then they may gain a bit of audience.

But I don't watch any other news either. I read headlines and some stories online and that's about it.
I wonder if that would be less the case if someone who hates Trump less than CNN boss Jeff Zucker does had Zucker's job.

The trajectory of CNN actually sorta reminds me of Rush Limbaugh. Back in the late 80's early 90's Rush's show used to spend a lot of time skewering the left in general (femanazis, "animal rights update", etc) and while I didn't agree with a lot of what he said, it was certainly entertaining. This all came to a screeching halt when Clinton was elected and he spent the majority of his time railing on Clinton and dropped most of the other content, it was at that point I tuned out.
