The media needs to change. It's time for them to focus on Russian health care, Russian jobs, Russian terrorism, etc.

Americans may care about Healthcare more, but they don't like watching or reading about Healthcare. Healthcare is boring.

Russian conspiracies are not.

So people may say they care more about Healthcare, but they want to consume more about Russia.

People tired of Russia
People care about jobs, not Russia (from CNN and they even spin it to blame Trump for the coverage of Russia)

The media still thinks they can think for us.

It's pretty funny how out of touch the media really is, but people need to understand the globalist control the money paying their salaries. They don't want educated free-minded consumers who have real world problems that can shift through the Bullshite they spew. It's a battle right now, and they have to get back on top of the narrative, cause more people are starting to see, and having a President calling them out is a No-go for them, and why he must be destroyed...

People can say all they want. If nobody was watching the Russia stories, the media wouldn't run them as much.

What we care about, and what we want to consume are different things.

CNN's ratings would suggest otherwise

It's cute that you think the liberal news is only concerned about ratings. Fox News was beating the tar out of the other networks for years and there wasn't a shift to the right to get more viewers. The past few years have shown a dramatic shift to the left, actually, with the blatant and overt anti-Trump/GOP bias.

Look at the Trump/Clinton election map. The only people that care about muh Russians are in the minority, even with the GOPe nevertrumper's factored in. If the GOPe neverTrumpers had any real say remaining Trump would have never won Ohio and the rustbelt.

Is anyone surprised that the media is disinterested in the hat the people care about

BS.... I would bet that some poor sap is sitting in Atl's airport right now watching CNN breaking News happening now- that POTUS Trump had a secret meeting with Vlad.

The media is about ratings and Russia is soap opera drama that people will watch. All these people that want to hear about health care would likely tune it out by the second day. Health care, jobs, and unemployment aren't very exciting.

Russian conspiracies are not.

CNN has fallen to 13th from 6th in recent ratings for cable networks. Your premise is incorrect.

No, they dont. It is more evidence of a narrative that is being forced on Americans.

I think even the progs are disgusted with CNN breaking news on Vlad and Trump. They are all now watching Rachel Maddow.

possibly, but if you want to hear about Russian conspiracies almost exclusively, CNN is your place.

That's what is so perplexing. CNNs ratings are sinking like a rock yet they continue with a false narrative. So who's putting up the money to keep them on the air, and why?
