Yes, CNN the great bastion of the right. LOL

They are attempting to place themselves "closer" to the middle. Personally, I see no way they are successful in attracting people who are right of center. The years of slanted coverage will be a huge hurdle to clear. Lemon may have been canned in this pursuit. Don't think it will make much difference. I just don't see how they can be successful in this attempted transition.

Don Lemon got got too:


Anyone know what he did wrong? It goes without saying that I don’t watch cable news/CNN.

Lemon has been, according to several sources, abrasive towards colleagues, haughty, an attention whore, a back stabber, and generally disliked and untrusted. In a nutshell, he's an arrogant snake according to several people who've worked with him. The final straw seems to be that a couple of months ago when Nikki Haley announced she would be a candidate for President, Lemon said on CNN, “Nikki Haley isn't in her prime, sorry. When a woman is considered to be in her prime — in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s.” His female co-hosts were not amused and he got soft suspended soon afterwards. No longer the king of the hill, all the enemies he'd made in the business came out and there's been a long litany of complaints and ugly stories about what an unlikeable ass he is. Basically, he's a jerk who finally went too far and this was the final straw that made it easy to get rid of him with cause.

The idea that CNN is making a right turn and the idea that conservatives are looking to be lied to by CNN is telling of your highly skewed sense of reality.

Yeah, that was SNL level parody from Cack. That he believes it and doesn't realize makes it even funnier!

 

[Bishop2b5]

I fucking love this so much. That dude was an abomination.

Says the guy who thinks Rachel Maddow and The Young Turks are straight shooting bastions of truth.

 

[drayer54]

Cuomo, Stelter, Lemon all fired by CNN is an amazing thing. All have blatantly lied and misled the people. Great things for the airport news network!

I said they were making a right turn lol. If you have been paying attention that s exactly what they are doing. THey have been hemorrhaging viewers to MSNBC for a while and with Faux news getting busted as a propaganda channel there are viewers to be bought.

Changes spark chatter of CNN shifting to the right

Major changes at CNN in recent weeks have sparked chatter in media and political circles that the network’s new corporate ownership is pulling it to the political right. CNN stron…

Its viewers were actually calling for a boycott recently lol:

'Boycott CNN' Calls Grow as Viewers Fear Network Is Shifting to the Right

Several high-profile CNN journalists including John Harwood have left over what he called taking sides about Donald Trump's "threat to democracy."

A skewed sense of reality….lmaoooooo. Considering it has actually been shown that they have been lied to for decades by Faux News and what Fox hosts ACTUALLY THINK OF THEIR viewers is hilarious enough... I just can’t with you haha.

CNN just needs to be a bit more conservative leaning. Its been known for a while... since they got bought out its no real secret haha.

He isn’t a candidate.

that's like a HC saying he isn't entertaining any other job offers.

I fucking love this so much. That dude was an abomination.

do you consider yourself an abomination when you peddle lies here, or is that just reserved for people who do the same thing but wear red?

I'm an independent right-leaning moderate. CNN used to be my go to. They lost me several years ago as they rapidly shifted away from objectivism. Fox, CNN, MSNBC - all guilty of biased propaganda pandering to their respective extreme followings. I have hope that CNN returns to its roots, but i'm not optimistic.

[Cackalacky2.0]

Have no clue. With Carlson and Lemon maybe it's the beginning of fair and balanced reporting coming back in vogue.

BTW....Can we move this to the Media Matters thread?

$30vbucks fox replaces Tucker with Tulsi.

 

[sixstar]

I'm on team chaos. I want to see CNN hire Tucker Carlson.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

$787 million will cost anyone their job.

That’s part of it but o think the Grossman case is much more likely to be the issue.

MSNBC is bat-shit crazy left-wing propaganda; as the party moves left, so does its news following. CNN was left-wing garbage. The problem is that it is still left-wing garbage, just without the personalities that left-wingers liked. Assuming people actually liked Brian Stelter.

Whatever your opinion of it is, it is well known at this point they are tacking away from MSNBC. Not sure why that is so triggering.

Many of these personalities seem to find nice profitable echo chambers to resurrect themselves like Megan Kelly, Bill O'Reily types who had popular shows but get chewed up by the machine. Tucker was probably already pivoting with his specials that nobody watches unless they pay for whatevert that service is. Gutfeld is the only thing worth watching on Fox which is one more show worth watching than any of MSNBC or CNN can offer. Will be interesting to see Hannity's ratings suffer - his show has been terrible forever and probably half the viewers forgot to turn off Tucker.

Who is promoting any of this as "news" anyway? You have to be some seriously special mouth breather to take anything off of any of these networks without an enormous grain of salt.

Fox NEWS!

Tulsi is awesome. I cut the cable cord two years ago and haven't looked back, but if I were to watch I'd be more inclined with her at the helm. I've seen clips online of her filling in at news desks.

SNL Celebrity Jeopardy meets the Presidents

And your wager is.....Mexico. lol

You probably trust Joe Isuzu too. Carnival barkers gonna bark. Hannity is no more "news" than Maddow. You probably follow Dan Rather on Twitter and see him as a fair and balanced reporter who got screwed rather than the propagandist who got caught.

Glad Florida is gonna change their own laws to allow DeSantis to legally run for President while acting as governor.

Misleading tweet. Very misleading. She’s banned from what’s left of the session and it’s for decorum.

From CNN:

The clash started when, in a floor speech opposing a measure that would prohibit gender-affirming care for minors, Zephyr said Republicans who backed that proposal would have “blood on your hands.” Studies have consistently found alarmingly high rates of suicide among transgender teens.

I see no problem with this. Minors should not be receiving gender-affirming care.
Also, Zephyr is able to cast votes remotely still, he just can't debate on the floor.
