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.


Are you seriously citing liberals watching CNN, NPR, NYT and MSNBC as getting their news from a variety of sources? LMAO


You obviously didn't follow the thread. I also said some liberals even watch FOX News to understand what the other side is saying.


The response was obviously regarding your source and "proof" that liberals rely on a variety of sources. Try to keep up.

DP. Trump-related news is ALL OVER the front page of CNN.com. The PP is absolutely right.
https://www.cnn.com/


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

Click on the cnn link and see for yourself.


Right, nothing at all about Trump. From that link:

Just clicked it, nothing at all about Trump now.

No one cares as much as all these people think, in their FOX bubble.

There is an article about the weather on July 4th though. Things that are not important.


Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you actually just obtuse? Every one of those links was listed on the CNN home page - today. You can continue pretending CNN doesn’t need Trump to prop up their flagging viewership, but you just look asinine.


Just go on CNN and look at the sad attempt to find Trump news. It's like they don't have a plan for the future, hanging on by bits and scraps.

I'm not being "deliberately obtuse": the first scroll.by page on CNN was condo collapse news. Second scrolling page, condo collapse news, third scrolling page included Trump crap, fourth scrolling page other news.

I mean, the weather for the 4th of July news was featured above the Trump crap.

That doesn't seem like a website that is making it's living on Trump. Most of us literally don't want to read or hear anything about him anymore. Which is Trump crap is so far down on the CNN page on my phone.

And both OANN and Newsmax are fully invested in the Big Lie that the election was stolen and that Trump is the True President.
Boggles the mind that anyone considers OANN and Newsmax to be legitimate news outlets.

DP. I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to stop you at the bolded. Surely you can’t say (type) that with a straight face after dozens and dozens of new (and resurrected old) threads about Trump pop up daily on this forum? And who is starting them? Not Republicans. So that leaves Democrats - who most certainly do want to read and hear about and discuss him 24/7. Really boggles the mind, considering you all claimed how thrilled you were to never have to think about him again. Many of you just can’t quit him!

Ummm.... Mind boggled? Wow. Sorry but it's Trump himself who keeps inserting himself back into the news, for example. a.) He did just hold a rally in Ohio. b.) The Trumps do have several current legal cases against them going now.
If you don't want the news to report any of that then a.) Trump needs to stop campaigning and b.) the Trumps need to clean up their act and fade away into a quiet life like many other past Presidents and their families did, and neither of those seem to be likely to happen any time soon.

You want to blame liberals and liberal media as if they are somehow the ones responsible for making those things happen and that makes no sense whatsoever.

Most threads with "Trump" in the headline here are started by Trumpers or trolls still supporting Trump: see "Trump is on Rumble" etc...

The rest of us don't care unless there is real news, like Trump org facing charges.

And, yeah, CNN has actual Trump news featured at the top.of.thrbpage today because there are criminal charges coming.

Wrong. We’re all well aware that most thread about Trump are started - or resurrected from years ago - by obsessed liberals who have nothing to talk about if it doesn’t involve trashing Trump. The Rumble thread is the only one in recent memory that looks to be started by a Trump voter.

Look, I’d be embarrassed too if my fellow conservatives kept starting outraged threads about, say, Obama. But they’re not. You have your fellow liberals to thank/blame for this idiocy. Also - judging by the pages and pages of posts those threads get, “the rest of you” actually do care, very much. You seem unable to resist the siren song of a good Trump trashing thread.

You all still bring up Obama and Hillary in tons of comments in thread after thread. They just get deleted because they’re off-topic whataboutism.

Those threads and news stories don't come out of a vacuum. It's Trump himself who keeps resurfacing. Pretending this is somehow all about "liberals" as if everything is pure fabrication from nothing doesn't cut it and honestly sounds kind of delusional.

DP. Trump is not some dignified former president who is sitting at home writing his memoirs. He is 1) still claiming he won the election 2) requiring Republican politicians to support the Big Lie or incur his wrath and imperil their political future 3) holding political rallies where he perpetuates the Big Lie and whips up his supporters, and generally doing everything he can to stay in the limelight and stir up shi*. So, yeah, we’re going to be talking about him every day.

Why? Trump’s company was charged in court today, he was on Hannity yesterday, he appeared with the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Texas the day before that, and he had a huge rally the day before that. He is newsworthy.
