How Can People Watch CNN?

[gab13by13]

I turned it on just to see the narrative. Wow, Erin Burnett basically had TV sex with Donald Trump and his Magat followers.

I found out from her that removing classified documents isn't that big of a deal.

Can't wait for Nicolle to come back. She had the perfect response to the Magat's outrage, she said, go ahead, hitch your wagon to Trump, Bring it on.

I still see the right wing narrative being pushed to talk about the 2024 election.

At least I got to listen to a little Stephanie Miller and Thom Hartmann today.

Cable news is bad.

1. I prefer PBS Newshour but I do like to peek at CNN and MSNBC also. None can

compare with Fox, Newsmax (my MIL sent me the mag several years ago) , and I've heard OAN (never seen it) in terms of just terrible journalism.

2. No Chris Hayes, no Nicolle, no Rachel,

I can't watch MSNBC either. Is MSNBC getting ready to fire Nicolle and Chris?

All of the talk on cable news about the Magats ready for Civil war, half of the internet outrage comes from Russian bots.

The days of Keith Olbermann and Dylan Ratigan are over. I can't even watch baseball, I'm a Pirate's fan.

I will have to wait for November for Penn State wrestling.

3. Chris and Nicole are on vacation.

4. The timing is unfortunate.

10. When Nicole called in to her own show

I believe she said she’s on vacation next week also. I truly miss her.

5. They are probably on vacation. But who knows ..

I remember the old days when the fill-in anchor would say this is ____ _____, filling in the for the vacationing _____ _____ or similar verbiage, so the viewer would at least know what's going on.

7. That was Fox during the Bill-O scandals.

"Taking a well-deserved break."

8. Chris has been posting pics on Instagram of his family vacay in Europe

Nicolle was on her show today via phone, as a guest

6. K&R

I watched NBC and ABC to see their take and their total focus was on Repuke outrage. It totally angered me.

[dchill]

9. They truly suck. Every last one of them.

It's like they WANT more violence to cover. (Talking about the "MSM" top-of-the-line infotainers.)

[gab13by13]

13. Yes, the importance of the narrative is overlooked,

they are all repeating the same talking points, the Magat outrage. How can an executive branch infringe on the personal phone of a member of the legislative branch? Chris Perry.

The #1 Magat narrative before this one was the 2024 election. The 2024 election also gushed onto DU.

[LAS14]

11. OK, here's a different angle. I, for one,....

... value "neutral" news reporting. I affirm it when CNN and PBS interview right wing people. What do we want? A world of only MSNBC, which I truly value,.... but.... I don't want a one party system. I want some news outlets that TRY to be neutral. It's hard in this day when adhering to the truth is also a principle they follow.

15. Do you believe that the GQP deserves equal coverage,

when it is trying to end our democracy? The GQP should be declared domestic terrorists. Yeah, we give them equal time which gives their ongoing coup credence and then when they control government there will be no CNN or MSNBC, there will be no DU. Where will we go to express our opinions when fascists are in control, standing in front of a tank?

[LAS14]

16. Yeah, I believe it deserves equal coverage. But the coverage...

... should include pointing out lies. They've learned to do that since Trump declared the great steal.

12. Here is a link

https://livenewschat.eu/breaking-news/?wpmeteordisable=menu

Opens up to a very messy page. In the middle is the screen. Then you can expand it.

[RussBLib]

14. Just bounce around

Some CNN, some MSNBC, some Fox, some PBS, none are perfect.

CTTOI, I haven't seen Burnett in ages.

[tishaLA]

17. I had to turn off Anderson for the same thing

CNN naturally sent a reporter down to Log-a-Merdo to interview his supporters to see how they felt about the FBI executing a search warrant there.

Can you guess how people who'd rally outside his gold club felt about it? It was as worthless as the 52nd NYT visit to a diner in the hinterlands to see whether his supporters still supported him. The reporter tried to reel things back in at the end of the segment, but it was a deeply lost cause by that point.

18. I stay away from it all...

when something eureka-ish happens I come here, but it's rare. Getting pissed off watching people lie to me has lost it's allure. Just reading headlines is bad enough. None of it is healthy.

[iemanja]

19. Burnett hates Trump

Try paying attention.

[Raine]

20. I like to hear different sides

I don't want to hear nothing but an echo chamber continually. I used to do that and had a rude awakening. I was unprepared for when the reality was different from what I'd been hearing.
