They are just another TMZ but TMZ has better reporters

In retrospect, CNN was better in the early 90's but still had some fake news even then. Who remembers the Charles Jaco scam? Wolf Blitzer has always been kind of a goober, too.

In all honesty, besides the agenda, the 24 hour news cycle created what we are seeing today... If they simply reported the news, it would just repeat over and over and over, pretty much same thing... So, they have to "discuss" and put their stamp on things... Or at least they think they do...

Chris Cuomo's statement "we will tell you what you need to know" pretty much sums up CNN's mantra today. What a disgusting statement from a "news station".

TMZ doesn't pretend to be something they're not

They moved HQ from Atlanta to New York.

This is what happens when you diversify your product in the name of equality. Happens with our schools, our businesses, our sports, pretty much everything out there honestly.

This guy happened. I’d pay serious cash to get the tape shortly after the election where Trump lit into him to his face.

At some point news became entertainment. Journalists discussing their opinions on the news became more important then actual news and has given the media an inflated ego. One of the great things about Trump being elected is that it was a gut punch to the media, they realized they don't have as much influence as they thought they did.

Same thing that happened to MTV, The History Channel, NatGeo, Weather Channel, Food Network, and other theme channels that started off as a good idea.
They built a base and earned a slot on cable and satellite lineups based on decent programming. Then they realized they could make more money showing reality shows about housewives, midgets, pageant moms, and shouting head segments instead of producing the material that earned them their spot.
The audience is so full of morons that the plan works every time. Pick any cable channel and watch the evolution.

I'm old enough to remember when Ted Turner was bitching about how they would never allow anyone "conservative" like him to have a media presence.
It'll be an awkward search, and he may have been drunk when he said it, but it's out there.
Then Jane Fonda laid that Hanoian Candidate nookie on him and he bacame liberal.
Really unremarked transformation. If you doubt me, you can look it up.

CNN has turned into full blown propaganda

They are now, what Ted Turner always was
But Ted wanted to make money back then, so he held them in check

I remember when CNN didn’t have commercials.
