Just places for propaganda, snake oil finance and pharma ads

I am glad we have them.

...explained the roots of the US / Iran (amd UK and other countries) conflict, how restructuring around WW2 debt and political interference (including CIA) interacted with post-colonial westernization -- it was excellent, and certainly nothing I'd ever learned in school.

clear "big picture". He is a real gift and you have described very well the approach he takes.

Didn’t learn that history in high school (class of 76) but later on ... and not even during the hoopla of the Iran hostage crisis that began in ‘78.

Velshi also ran through the litany of our regime change failures in South America. He is becoming a national treasure ...

I used to have online subscriptions to both NYT & WP. They have fallen so far. The NYT has an editor who described democracy as a partisan issue. And cancel.

trying to evacuate troops from Afghanistan when they were hit with a terrorist bomb.

I won't hold my breath.

As far as CNN "obeying in advance" of the probable Ellison take over, they were headed that way long ago with the free airtime for the swiftboating of Kerry, giving free airtime to the swift pukes ad as a "news story", playing it almost 24/7.

They also were right on top of Howard Dean after the Iowa Primary, trying to present him as unhinged.

It won't take CNN long to go full MAGA. The days of Ted Turner are long gone.

but even supposing that he had, and could not articulate quickly or succinctly, no one doubted his sanity or his judgement. How is Biden's supposed lack of verbal acuity a danger to our country? And why are the actions of trump not dangerous? Tapper will never cover trump with the same venom he used against Biden no matter what facts present themselves. And yes, I do agree that he basically blew his top when we exited Afghanistan. But we hear nothing from him regarding trump's various misadventures.

Life-long stutter in a profession where public speaking is essential - he was nothing short of incredible! I stutter a bit under pressure and can't imagine dealing with it as an ongoing problem! I really miss our Joe!

and not a soul stopping to discuss whether the whole thing was legal or a good idea or not.

which way CNN would go???????? They have now earned the title of: Fox News Light, Fox News 2.0

don't expect it to get any better.

They are obeying their new owners in advance.

(maybe)

What a simple and effective act of resistance

I suppose.

since younger viewers aren't subscribing to them and probably never will

for those of us that don't watch CNN. I did turn it on briefly on Fri night because they were the first to cover the events live.

but I probably won't be able to stomach it much longer.

Boycott CNN

Once, during the early days of Bush's Iraqi invasion, the anchor accidentally called her that - and she blushed like a teenaged girl whose first crush just walked into the room.

Her job's safe.

CNN has been dead to me since they pioneered the concept of two from the right and two from the left screaming at each other. The show was Crossfire, and it debuted barely two years into the existence of CNN. This approach is why so few Americans watch any 24-hour news channel.

The loss is well deserved. As a lapsed journalist, I am appalled by their slide into irrelevance and incompetence, so I find myself monitoring them and pointing out their failures. But I totally understand if you find it more productive to just ignore them.

I believe that the last time I eyeballed CNN was for a debate that only they were airing.

otherwise, probably people in places with a captive audience where the TVs are tuned to it like guests in the hotel breakfast room and delayed airline passengers in airports, much like Channel One in schools on the Magnavox CRT TVs

I guess he's found a new home. is right.

And he's not up f9r reelection untill 2028.

Fortunately, I've read that a lot of people seem to think he hates being a senator and is likely not to run for reelection. If that's the case, I wish he'd just retire already and give PA Dems a chance to fill that seat with a real Democrat.

sad

...carrying on insipidly about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction in the lead up to Bush boy's Oedipal war.

They didn't exist.

and ANYONE with critical thinking skills knew those warmongering pieces of shit Cheney and Dubya were LYING

...telescreen.

One couldn't turn it off, just as Orwell described the Telescreen.

And yes, Wolfie was running propaganda off his mouth continuously.

The corporate media must be destroyed.

They used to be a respected newsroom. That was a long time ago. Doubling down on the strategy that lost them most of their viewers in the first place is not going to help.

?

... the 🍊🦓🕳️ first ran for President. They've only gotten worse from everything I've read.
