There’s substantial #evidence that people don’t feel that they personally are doing badly. Both surveys & #consumer behavior suggest, on the contrary, that while most Americans feel that they’re doing OK, they believe that the #economy is doing badly, where “the economy” presumably means other people.

(Which means #media whether “#newspapers”, #CableNews, or #internet platforms, the #sensationalized #alarmism particularly on the right is mis/disinforming people)

CNN names former BBC, New York Times exec Mark Thompson as new CEO https://politicaliq.com/2023/08/30/cnn-names-former-bbc-new-york-times-exec-as-new-ceo/ #CNN #MarkThompson #BBC #NYTimes #ChrisLicht #CableNews #DigitalTransformation #politicaliq #news #politics

Idle Thought: Both Fox News and MSNBC want you to be afraid. Be very afraid.

Why? Million are at stake. No, not lives, dollars. Trump is the greatest thing to happen to cable news since the last Gulf War.

So when you're watching your favorite talking head on your favorite channel, remember that.

Thank goodness they shot themselves in the foot by removing #TuckerCarlson and dragging more scrutiny to themselves 😂 .

"The Fox employee portal pushes employees to the Trevor Project, an organization that Walsh said “hosts a sexually explicit chat room that connects children as young as 13 years old with ‘LGBT’ adults.”

@flexghost If #CNN really wanted to improve its ratings and reputation, they'd give #JonStewart a primetime hour. He puts out more truth in 10 minutes than all of #CableNews does in a week.

Well at least Zaslav was willing to take ownership of the Licht fuck up. I just hope that Zucker doesn't return because that would guarantee a criminal trump return to the white house and the the complete transformation of the country into a fascist state IMHO

If CNN could be more center btwn Fox and MSNBC, I can see it not being that bad. But TBH, I fear it'll go all the way RIGHT.

Thoughts?

MY COMMENT

David....CNN disgraced themselves with that recent trump cheer leading rally. CNN has such a great reputation and history.
too bad it can be ruined so easily.

An Oral History of #MTVNews
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/feature/mtv-news-oral-history-kurt-loder-tabitha-soren-1235484146/
Thirty-six years after TV's youth-culture monolith changed the face of #cablenews, its star correspondents — Kurt Loder, Tabitha Soren, John Norris, SuChin Pak, Chris Connelly, Alison Stewart and Gideon Yago — reminisce about the pre-internet golden years of the coolest #mediajob ever.

Chris Licht is a moron. The CNN CEO believed he could court the MAGA crowd without losing the left. Instead, the network now finds itself hemorrhaging viewers and in the ratings basement behind Newsmax. Fire him.

The problem with “…faking authenticity” and how #FoxNews fell into the trap of letting their audience shape the tone and content of their news coverage. A mistake that has already cost them almost $800 million with more lawsuits to come. Rupert Murdoch and his family have been a dangerous influence in every country where they’ve owned media outlets; including Australia, the UK and the USA. Their ‘cater to the populist crazies’ at the expense of facts and the truth approach has sullied proper professional journalism, divided three countries, sowed division and hatred, all while making tons of profit and laughing all the way to the bank. Disgusting and reprehensible. #journalism #news #CableNews #Cable #populism #tuckercarlson #lies #propaganda https://theconversation.com/tucker-carlsons-departure-and-fox-news-expensive-legal-woes-show-the-problem-with-faking-authenticity-203649

Don Lemon essentially quit CNN yesterday.

According to the Daily Beast: CNN CEO Chris Licht had hoped to give Lemon a soft landing and had Amy Entelis, CNN’s executive VP for talent, reach out to the star’s agent, Jay Sures of UTA, to negotiate an exit." - https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-inside-story-of-tucker-carlson-and-don-lemons-monday-media-massacre

Lemon then blew up straight away on Twitter with his statement, ending any chance for a negotiated exit. What a diva.

"In the years since, Mr. #Carlson has constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of #cableNews — and also, by some measures, the most successful. Though he frequently declares himself an enemy of prejudice — “We don’t judge them by group, and we don’t judge them on their race,” Mr. Carlson explained to an interviewer a few weeks before accusing impoverished immigrants of making #America dirty — his show teaches loathing and fear."

Hey, cable news pundits: We get it, Trump is the first former president to be indicted for anything. That, by definition, makes it unprecedented. Everyone knows this now, so you don't have to keep repeating it every five minutes!
