Exactly! Young people today are not getting their news from TV, so it’s just a matter of time before cable news dies out.


Their getting it from FB, LOL!

Anyone know much about this? I apploaud the spirit but I doubt peititioning providers is going to make a difference short of canceling your subscription.

Thoughts?


Do they make a version that eliminates all the leftist scum networks, too?


Sad. You people have been indoctrinated into believing that anything that isn't extreme far right such as FOX/OAN/Newsmax/Breitbart/Daily Caller etc is "leftist scum" - and some of you even think FOX News is "leftist scum" apart from nutcases like Tucker Carlson.


DP. I don’t watch any of the above, but I can’t wait to hear about unbiased and “centrist” Rachel Maddow, Don Lemon, Joy Behar, Joy Reid, Jim Acosta, et al are. We’ll wait while you spin something up!



Cable subscribers are not subsidizing NBC and its networks, nor CNN and its networks they way they are forced to for FOX. See the difference?


I’m sorry, what? Cable subscribers most certainly are subsidizing CNN - as well as MSNBC, etc. What a bizarre claim.


It is about the DEGREE to which they are subsidized.



You are joking, right?
This is an MMFA nut. And, MMFA are the ones who are pushing the whole "unfox my box" tripe.
A cable network that consistently gets higher viewership charging more than others with a fraction of their viewers???? And, you think this is not fair because..........?

BTW - check out ESPN and see how much their carriage fees are.


Calling our conservative media on its lies is "nuts?"


MMFA is Soros-funded trash. They have one goal.... take down Fox.

And, Fox has more liberal commentators than MSNBC and CNN combined. Unlike their competitors, they present multiple viewpoints on their news shows.


They are still more truthful and unbiased compared to their liberal competitors. Still most cable is simply entertainment, not news.


LMAO

NO they are not. FOX News is LESS reliable and MORE biased than CNN and even MSNBC. https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/


CNN must have told you that. They are the worst, and why their show is sinking in ratings.

MSNBC and CNN can form a joined channel so their viewers can watch one station instead of flipping between the two.
Problem solved.
Soon we will see a headline says MSNBS-CNN has more viewers than FOX.

It really shouldn’t be a point of pride that Fox viewers literally watch the boob tube all day long. That’s what these ratings tell us.

MSNBC is even worse. They give the Enquirer more credibility.

Remember when Rachel Maddow rooted for the Steel Dossier? And then her Big Reveal of Trumps tax return? Turned out he paid a LOT of taxes. She looked like she wanted to hide under her desk. Not a bright liberal.

That's a great idea for their suggestion box! Of course I think they'll need one more lib fake news outlet to get the same numbers as Fox.

The PP is an example of someone with no critical reading skills. She sees something that fits her narrative so bam, that makes it true.

Why still pay for it if you aren't watching it?


Doesn't fox have a higher viewership than cnn?


Yes. CNN has tanked in the past few months. MSNBC is not doing much better.
Cable providers know their audiences. They are not going to drop Fox.



Yes, that was already explained above. Please keep up.


Hit a nerve, I see.


No, I see you still don't understand the explanation. It's that rather than watching FOX News and only FOX News, liberals get their news from a wide variety of sources.

Take 20 conservatives, 17 of them will almost exclusively get their news from FOX, because they've been taught that everything else is "fake news"
Take 20 liberals, and 20 of them will get some of their news from CNN, some of their news from ABC, some of their news from NBC, or CBS, Bloomberg, or PBS, or any number of news sources. There are also some liberals who watch FOX News for balance and to understand what the other side is saying - though that is NOT the case for conservatives as I constantly see "you won't see this on MSM" when in fact it is being talked about on MSM too - most conservatives at this point have absolutely no clue what's ACTUALLY on non-conservative news because they've been indoctrinated in a belief that it's all "fake news"

Bottom line is that the news market for liberals is far more fragmented and liberal viewers have far less mindless channel loyalty than conservative viewers do.

Get it now?


DP. This is one of the most ridiculous, non-evidence supported bunch of BS ever to be pulled from a liberal’s butt. I’m a moderate conservative who never watches Fox (or CNN), but I do read widely - the WSJ, Economist, NYT, among others. You just wrote an an entire paragraph full of nothing but your own claims and biased opinions about conservatives. Maybe stick to what you DO know which is your own habits - and not those of millions of other people.


Nope, that's based on numerous surveys of media consumption that show news media is far more fragmented on the left. For example Pew survey that showed 47% of conservatives use FOX as their primary news source whereas liberals are far more likely to use an array of media sources. For example only 13% would cite CNN as their primary news source, very much contrary to the conservative mythology/projection that liberals all get their news from CNN.



And here you've wrongly accused me of completely pulling my comment out of my ass and demonstrated your gross ignorance of political polarization and left vs right news media consumption habits.


This was from 2014 - 7 years ago.
Since then, we have seen Newsmax, OANN, and a huge increase in independent journalism.
A TON has changed in the past 7 years.
One big factor - trust in the media in the US is rock bottom..... lowest of all countries surveyed.
https://www.poynter.org/ethics-trust/2021/us-ranks-last-among-46-countries-in-trust-in-media-reuters-institute-report-finds/


Hilarious. The right wing whines about CNN being "fake news" and then flocks to far faker "news" like OANN and Newsmax. If OANN and Newsmax are what we consider news media these days then we've truly hit rock bottom - and it's Republicans who are pushing the race to the bottom.


DP. Funny, I’m a Republican and have never set eyes on OANN or Newsmax. No one I know watches them, and many have never even heard of them. But sure, continue your gross generalizations. You really seem like someone to be taken seriously.

Only OANN and Newsmax carried the Trump event on Saturday. None of Fox nor anyone else did. What is your point?


DP. Trump-related news is ALL OVER the front page of CNN.com. The PP is absolutely right.

Just because you exist in your little bubble doesn’t mean your bubble is reality. Your claims are so silly that no one will take you seriously ever.

Anyone still identifying as Republican in this day and age is a happy fascist who loves domestic terrorism.

Clicked in it. Nothing but condo collapse and nothing about Trump, unless I just didn't scroll down a few pages.

There’s some deep irony that you believe in “SoRoS-FuNdEd TrAsH” and you’re citing a Richard Berman-owned smear organization to “prove” the lies you’ve been fed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Organizational_Research_and_Education

You would do well to actually spend some time at Media Matters, or at least on their twitter feed. Behold: the truth! https://twitter.com/mmfa?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor


Oh, honey. It’s so telling that you tout a leftist organization as “the truth.” You’re really not making the point you think you are.

You were saying something about “existing in your little bubble”? You really need to get out more. Talk about not living in reality.
