I just find it odd that you'd spend your time engaging with media you clearly find irritating.
But then, you're not the only one. David Brock has grown very wealthy doing just that.

Re: CNN sucks
They annoy the crap out of me most nights as well. It's been 2 years and they still seem to be trying to convince me that Trump is an immoral liar. Their audience is largely already convinced. It wasn't hard. We get it; time to move beyond that.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 5:02 amNot odd at all.

If they would spend less time in the kiddie pool of the argument, they could spend more time talking about some of the things more people want to see happen. Focus not just on the fact that people want better, more affordable health care but do stories on what that includes. I don't need my wish list read back to me. Tell me what's done to make it a checklist of accomplishments.

yeah, but are the viewers very similar?IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 5:04 amDo CNN viewers understand that as well?
Those 2 stations are very similar even though they say things that are completely opposite of 1 another.
Re: CNN sucks
you guys seem to suggest the average CNN view is analogous to the average Fox News viewer, as if to imply CNN has viewers.

I imagine so. Both partisan. Both Americans. Both think the other side is full of idiots.ousdahl wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 9:03 amyeah, but are the viewers very similar?IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 5:04 amDo CNN viewers understand that as well?

I get your dig. It's funny, no doubt, but as much as the left wants to believe that the majority of the right are toothless hillbillies who can't spell CAT, that's really not the case unfortunately. Less college educated, sure....but that doesn't always mean dumb. I've got family members who are so far right it makes my head spin. Super smart, college degrees, business owners....you'd probably guess they were liberal looking at their resumes. They annoy the shit out of me, but they're fox news watchers and defenders.

Re: CNN sucks
well, Fox News does dominate both categories.
but hey, maybe one of these days CNN can creep up on Nickelodeon!
that is, unless Adult Swim doesn't creep up quicker...

why watch some petty desperate news network spat with some petty desperate POTUS when you could just watch Robot Chicken instead?
