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.
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…
I was wondering if this was return2ozma but this user makes sense too.
I was really surprised to discover that even Harris is polled as out performing Biden, especially among black voters, independents and suburban women. And she’s distanced herself from Biden on Israel in the past, so she really fixes a lot of the problems with the Biden admin. Plus she’s probably less squeamish on abortion.
I think the main wild card here would be whether or not her nomination galvanized racists and bigots to come out to oppose her, but my gut says the energy created within the Democratic party by Biden leaving would still overwhelm bigoted backlash.
She would be a disappointing first woman president, but I suppose we can’t really be precious about that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a matchup between the presumptive major-party nominees, voters nationwide favor former President Donald Trump over Biden by 6 points, 49% to 43%, identical to the results of CNN’s national poll on the presidential race in April, and consistent with the lead Trump has held in CNN polling back to last fall.
Biden’s campaign has insisted he will not drop out of the race, and while some Democratic insiders have privately discussed the possibility of replacing him as the nominee, any path forward would be both logistically difficult and politically risky.
And a generic congressional matchup in the poll suggests a near-even contest for the House of Representatives: 47% of registered voters nationwide would choose the Republican candidate in their district, 45% the Democrat.
Among Biden’s backers, 31% say the most important difference is around honesty and integrity, while the top response among Trump’s supporters is fitness for the job (24% say that).
The president’s central challenge in his reelection bid remains winning over skeptical and persuadable voters, and the poll suggests neither Biden nor Trump have won them over yet.
