Quote from: ZenMode on September 01, 2023, 05:04:09 PMI didn't say anything about who owns what. CNN hired somebody that was going to intentionally bring them more towards the center. Not only did they fire a gay black guy, but they also fired other liberal talking heads because, again, their ratings were shit and their reputation was shittier.

Does that sound like Lib money at work or free market at work?

And you think CNN did that on their own. Well, how high has their market share gone.  How much towards center are they now?  Here is a little fact of life for you, the one's you think are running it, aren't. The one who owns it, is running it. THAT is the free market, problem is, it is a liberal running it. Free market does not mean conservatives are running the show, quite the opposite, when conservatives are running it the government does everything it can to interfere, but when liberals run it, especially in the media, the liberals will cave into anything they want. Doubt me, answer these,  "" Tell me, which one of them covered Hunter's laptop the best?      Which one told you the russian hoax was fake?   ""

Don't worry, I'll help you with the answer.

There is a reason the news is biased, the owners want it that way. Anyone of the various news sources could have reported on Hunter's laptop, they didn't!!!!!!!!!  Anyone of the various news sources could have come clean and told you the Russian story was fake, they didn't!!!!! Either all of the reporters and all of the mangers were stupid, inept, you can insert your own adjective, or someone above was calling the shots. What are your thoughts?

Right.  So, as I've been saying....

If you watch specific news channels, you are guaranteed to get liberal opinions the VAST majority of the time.  If you watch specific other news channels, you are going to get conservative opinions the VAST majority of the time.

Fox fired Tucker and the guy who took his place, who claims to be a libertarian or centrist, is saying things that sound very familiar to Tucker.  Why?  Because if he started talking like Anderson Cooper, he'd be fired in a matter of weeks due to a lack of ratings.

Tucker was not fired due to lack of ratings. You are showing you do not understand what is going on.

I never said that Tucker was fired due to ratings. What I'm saying is that if his replacement started talking like Anderson Cooper, he'd be out of a job in no time because the standard Fox viewer wouldn't watch his show.

The standard fox viewer had nothing to do with Tucker getting fired. You are not paying attention.

second try.. I never said Tucker was fired because of Fox viewers or ratings.

No, you went from posting that CNN was firing people to increase ratings and then stated Fox fired Tucker. I replied that Tuckers firing had noting to do with ratings. You then stated that his replacement would be fired if nobody watched his show, I responded that was not the reason TUCKER WAS FIRED EITHER. Right now, you do not have a point other than what I said. Care to clarify or just move on?

My point was that so-called news channels have more opinion than anything and news channels are concerned with ratings more than accuracy.  This was all clear in our exchange going back to the previous page.

Which news channel do you think is concerned with ratings?     Fox had the highest rated show and they fired him. The rest are in the toilet.     

It's all about getting their agenda out there. Why do you think they spend so much time telling lies????? Why do they not tell the truth? You are going to tell me it is for the ratings?? When they ALL have the same message??? IT'S ABOUT THE AGENDA!!!!!!!!

they're all concerned with ratings.  They may not be only concerned with ratings, particularly when you're trying to settle a 1.6 billion dollar lawsuit, but ratings = money.  Viewers = ratings.  You have a better chance of getting viewers when you have biased programming.

Really, the lowest marks ALL of the news programs is in trustworthiness. If they were concerned about ratings they would be working on that. They aren't. How many of them are blowing the lid wide open on the Biden scandals? How many are talking about the disaster on the border? Where is the focus on all of the vacation time Biden is taking? What I do hear is how many indictments on Trump, who by the way, 59% of all republicans want to see him as the party nominee now.

QuoteThe new survey finds that what was once a two-man race for the nomination has collapsed into a lopsided contest in which Trump, for now, has no formidable challenger. The former president is the top choice of 59% of GOP primary voters, up 11 percentage points since April, when the Journal tested a slightly different field of potential and declared candidates.

QuoteTrump's lead over his top rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has nearly doubled since April to 46 percentage points. At 13% support, DeSantis is barely ahead of the rest of the field, none of whom has broken out of single-digit support.

46 points ahead of number two!!!!!!!!!

Of course. People on the right left and center all have news stations they can point to and say they are not trustworthy. There are 330 million people in the US. Yes, many of them are children who don't watch the news, but even the most popular shows on Fox or CNN only got a few million fewers. Fox, CNN and MSNBC don't try to be neutral. They try to get a core base of viewers to tune in consistently And we both know which political party those three stations cater their content to.

The right leaning stations are covering the Biden situation a lot. The left leaning stations are not. The right-leaning stations know what their viewers want to see and the left leaning stations no what their viewers don't want to see.

So we can say with certainty, that lefties are gullible fools who have been brainwashed into believing what the left has been lying about with impunity, has locked a portion of the viewing public into hating any and all opposing views.

There is the truth, and there is liberal bullshit being spewed that is destroying the country.
That's the truth, so deal with it!

Wrong. The left leaning stations are lying to put their agenda front and center. The fact that there are so few who watch the news should tell you they do not care about ratings near as much as they care about the lies they tell you. If it was about ratings why did CNN, MSNBC, ETC. not go after Tucker???? 

What's a right leaning news station?
