I sincerely hope CNN just made Nick Sandmann freaking rich.

Wondering how much of CNN's clicks and views come from conservatives hatewatching it because they always seem to have a deep and up to date knowledge of their network. They are the only people who have any sort of opinion of the Don Lemons of the world - he is a nonentity to normal people.

Quoted for absolute hilarity when you consider those on the left and their penchant for being bringing up Fox News whenever they’re confronted with a conservative bend in a discussion.

Serious question, has CNN returned to relevance?

I don't follow any of this excrement or watch cable news. But I know it used to be fox and MSNBC with CNN just a dying irrelevant network

Though I also know Trump has constantly pointed them out for excrement, so maybe that's given some life to them?

I mean this as sincerely as I possibly can be.

If the situation was reversed, and some kid with a hope and change hoodie or some excrement got railroaded in the same vein Sandmann did by the Breitbarts or Fox's of the world, I'd hope they got freaking rich.


FYP

Ahahahahahaha, well I do say that.

They negoTITated a fair compromise. 

She was kept abreast of the tituation.

Despite JUGgling many other affairs, she was able to nipple away at the Iranians many concerns.

Because fox news seems to sometimes not even care about the truth.  Literally at all.  I put it on pretty frequently and I'll say 75% of the time they seem completely agenda based with no interest in the actual truth.

CNN fucked up royally on the sandmann thing, and they definitely lean liberal, but grouping then with Washpost MSNBC and Huffpost of the world is wildly inaccurate.

Anyway this got completely derailed from my point, which was that it's funny when conservatives reveal an above average fan-level knowledge of CNN and its employees when railing against them. Not the fact that they don't like CNN, just the disproportionate level of effort that goes into that dislike.

Cable news is not a great source of information unless you can filter it down to the bare facts, each network has bias, and they are all pro-corporate. K?

I listen to MSNBC podcasts of some of their shows when I have time to kill. If news breaks when I'm at work, CNN and Fox News are my only options, so I'll take CNN every time. Every once in a while I try to watch Fox News to get the other perspective, especially when big news happens, but I usually can't watch it for more than a few minutes without getting infuriated. One of my coworkers hate watches Fox News at work, to see how the other half lives. I can't imagine doing that for very long.

None of those shows/channels should be your only resource for news.

Honest question, is there even an unbiased news source out there?
