I don't watch the news anymore, and my blood pressure thanks me for it.

I used to like Christianne Amanpour. When she tried to explain away the complete shutting down of the Hunter laptop story by saying, “we follow the facts”, she became just another lefty talking head doing tribal opinion pieces. Sometime it’s important to see what’s NOT being covered.

I still watch CNN in very small doses just to see what opinion they are promoting, but I take all their reporting, along with all regular network news and Fox with a grain of salt.

NPR has also been in the headlines as Uri Berliner confirmed the open secret that they are anything but impartial.

I’ve become a fan of Fox over the past several years, although I recognize their bias to the right. Despite a few well publicized issues, I think they are the best at telling it like it is.

Same matter with Print Media. In the 'old days' (1990's) my go-to was CNN and USA Today newspaper. NEWS. CNN, typically excellent reporting, especially international. USA Today, a generally concise and interesting sections. Perfect when traveling, in hotel room or airplane.

Now - both have gone far L. I do check USA Today online and so slanted. But I'm one to attempt to get different views.

I'm getting old. I wish for the 'old days'. Current events simply scare the heck out of me. Domestically and internationally.

Heh.

CNN.

The “Air America” of the third millennium.

It's weird to me, that people spend hour after hour in front of Fox "News" or CNN. Just listening to actors, doing their lines...... I think it's really bad for the country and foments a lot of unrest all the way to violence. What happened to just watching local news and 6 and world news at 6:30, on OTA channels? Why fill your head with opinion news for hours..... I don't get it.

Because thats what people want.
After the 2020 election Fox News started to distance themselves from the absurd election deniers. What they found out real quickly is thier audience simply shifted to Newsmax or the others that told them what they really wanted to hear… Despite it being true or not. Fox quickly returned to what their base audience wanted to hear.

It's just like the feeds you see on your phone or computer. They all know if they tell you something you want to hear you will stay engaged and that's what it's really all about. It doesn't make a difference whether it's true or not

Crappy News Network is very corrupt. I prefer SKY News for honest and accurate reporting.

CNN should have reported just News and it would have been fine. It has turned into a very agenda driven outlet with heavy bias. It was bound to die off. What was its purpose besides propaganda?

What CNN viewers don't realize is the facts that they hold back when telling a story. Exculpatory news.

First of all, if your source is The New York Post, your post is suspect. The issue of cable news networks switching to streaming services is old news - middle of 2023. Stop getting your information from an unreliable source. If only Alexander Hamilton could see what has happened to his treasured publication.
