CNN is being turned into another Fox News from the inside. They sucked before 2022. Wouldn’t trust them at all now. https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column

For those who don’t read articles, here is the paragraph from the linked article that really drives the point home.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” he said. Then he suggested a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news’ news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.”

He wants CNN to turn into Fox News. Literally.

He already started by asking Trump’s lawyer to write an op-ed defending the immunity ruling

What he’s actually implying is that he believes CNN is only opinions whereas he believes Fox News has a news show here and there.

So, he believes that CNN is worse than Fox News.

It’s just theater to hide the enshittification of media.

100% true and why I was so against Biden and the DNC letting CNN run the debate…

Biden supporters told me I was wrong then, now they tend to agree

But a poll is a poll and this one seems fine:

The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from June 28-30 among a random national sample of 1,274 adults drawn from a probability-based panel, including 1,045 registered voters. Surveys were conducted either online or by telephone with a live interviewer. Results among the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. For results among registered voters, it is plus or minus 3.7 points.

Unless this like when trumpets and Hillary supporters started claiming polls don’t matter…

Hillary supporters said it in 2016, and polls were right and it was a coin toss…

Trumpets said it in 2020, and polls were right and trump lost…

Which is why I’m so concerned Biden supporters are saying it in 2024.

And I don’t understand why if CNN should never be trusted, Biden and the DNC handing them the keys to the debates isn’t a mark against Biden and the DNC and the type of decisions they’re making…
