If people today could see the first broadcasts of CNN back when Ted Turner had his brain turd idea of 24 hour news, most would be confused and surprised. I remember rolling my eyes and thinking “what a stupid idea, there isn’t enough news in a day to make for compelling enough TV to warrant spending my valuable time watching it. I’d much rather share this gallon of McNaughton’s, smoke a few blunts with friends and try to hijack a freight ship from a canoe. With a single machete.” True story.

Everything about CNN today is based on the successful engagement technique that Fox news created for just the reason you described. CNN, MSNBC and the rest are just like Fox news in any meaningful analysis. They are focus-group derived engagement content and absolutely nothing else.

Yeah 24 hours news was always a bad idea. So bad that it took the creation of Fox news to make it work lol

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
