In reply to the discussion: CNN's new CEO met with GOP lawmakers to promise CNN will become more Republican [View all]Celerity
(54,595 posts)16. There are a tonne of podcasts and steaming shows for this:
I want all Dems all the time.
Many here do not seem to have looked at the numbers.
Streaming internet shows, podcasts, and social media dwarf cable news.
Cable news is a tiny sliver of what is out there, and it has an ageing, older audience demographically. The median age for an MSNBC viewer is 68, maybe 69 now, so 43, 44 years older that me atm.

Cable news is not for the young.
In recent years, the median age of viewers who watch the big three cable news networks CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC has been in the 60s, an audience that television news industry analyst Andrew Tyndall calls positively geriatric. At MSNBC, the median age this year has been 68, four years older than CNN, according to the latest data from Nielsen. Thats up from a median age of 65 in 2017.

I agree. CNN was never wholly journalistic. Cable and Prime Time are Republican owned. Period.
