I watched all the major MSM channels during the election just for the meltdowns.

For as bad as CNN is, their election coverage as far as data interpretation is concerned is probably the best

A newb could come on here and in one day realize that despite what this threads responses are, 90% of the board watches FOX News weekly. I don't have a problem with that and CNN is much much worse, but it's pretty obvious.

So it was pretty much like every other murder reported? The media outlets will contact family members to get information. The family members are not going to say "yeah... it was a drug thing". But you dirty devil you. You have your ears to the ground and know a constable so you know the streets. Gee buddy, I hope you are doing swell.



someone’s panties are in a knot today.

maybe you need to whine and lament more about how “no one knew any better during COVID. Common sense, what’s that?”


I hope you are also doing swell Christopher.

When I'm WFH I put on abc news, cnn, fox throughout the day just to hear how fricked up the bias is on each one.

It's good background noise

It's been almost 25 years for me outside of business trips where I've put CNN on in the hotel room while getting dressed.

But never at the house anymore. I haven't watched CBS News since Dan Rather took over for Walter Cronkite.

None.

Megyn Kelly was saying the only reason JD. and other Trump staff even go on with that Brennan lady on Sunday morning is because they make her look so stupid. She told Rubio that a genocide was committed in Germany because of freedom of speech. Like wut

I'm pretty sure she meant that the Wiemar Republic should have done to the Nazi party in the 30s what the US did to the Communist Party in the 50s. After all, we didn't exactly give the commies free speech during the Red Scare, did we?

I haven't watched a network news program in over 20 years since the rise of a host of Internet news sources. I browse across most the spectrum if for no other reason than to know what kind of BS is being peddled by the demprogs.

You can pretty easily find out what is really going down by just finding a few non sponsored information sites on regular YouTube.

It’s going to be a great day when traditional network news goes away.

I like that one dude on Xwitter named Eric who makes a good living just Xweeting "Breaking" news from actual reporters who work for all the outlets you listed. He has himself a good hustle going on, and people love him for it.

This.

The drug companies are not really trying to sell us drugs with these commercials, any increased drug sales from this advertising is almost lagniappe to them.

It’s bribery to keep the news organizations owned by these networks from covering the damage they do and only provide positive coverage for big pharma.

I haven't watched any local news in 30 years. Only watch FOX and CNN when the peanut butter hits and fan and I want some giggles. I have 1% of my info coming from all of them combined. (just an estimation of %)
