“We must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!”
imagine if cnn went this hard on a democrat or republican…they’d have more views
Never seen Pelosi or Biden asked to take a clear position on anything lmao
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.
Awful speaker. Like, I guess I understand what he wanted to say but he let the anchor walk all over and paint him as the centrist idiot everyone thinks he is, which he might be but it didn’t really seem like he was taking a ‘centrist’ position just rewording the common lib position to make it seem like it’s reaching across the aisle.
