CNN and FAUX will just hire new insufferable personalities

[tenderfoot]

That’s all.

1. The O'Reilly effect

2. They're all entertainers, shoveling shit-grade information for advertising dollars.

I’ve seen so many outright fabricated stories on cable news that I’ve stopped watching it entirety. It’s all sensationalist carnival barking.

I enjoy 60 Minutes and local news. 24/7 news channels are hot garbage that hire morons like Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, and Tucker Carson. No thanks.

4. Lemon is not a moron. If you ever watched his evening show...

you'd know he was slightly left-leaning and in no way in a category with that liar, big lie pusher Carlson.

6. Oh don't get me wrong, Tucker Carlson is in a league of his own.

On the other hand, I find cable news programs abhorrent. Some are more abhorrent than others. Don Lemon always struck me as having a misogynist dude-bro streak, much like Chris Cuomo. I am not at all sad at his departure.

3. Lemon was slightly left-leaning on his evening show. Not a winger at all.

When they moved him to that morning fluff show and ratings didn't improve, it was writing on the wall. I hope Lemon was prepared. I understand he has a podcast now we perhaps he was looking ahead.

The new CNN head, Licht, or whatever his name is, is making moves to boost ratings that aren't working. Remember he met with repugs and promised to feature their views more. IMO he'll be out soon as well as his moves have been ineffectual.

5. Like with TFG, their popularity is a symptom of our diseased society, not the cause.

Removing them does nothing substantial to cure the disease.

8. And people will sit and watch every night

so glad I dont own a TV

I have never seen a minute of a talking head show for 20+ years

Advertisers hate me, but Ive plenty more active things to do than sit on couch with a remote control in my hand

Quick count: 34 posts on front page about television, SMH

9. One's they can control

Their legacy hosts are getting too big for the henhouse.

10. Sad but true. No lack of rightie wingnuts with big mouths.
