Interesting read on how he tried to save the company and revigorate it to Trump tenure rating levels only to drive it further into the dirt to appease his boss for centralism. What worked for the progressive show Colbert won't have the same effect with a news organization trying to get viewers of all spectrums.

The right tends to perceive accurate reporting as left wing biased, because the truth isn't favorable to them.

CNN made a huge mistake thinking they could draw some of them away from their usual sources of disinformation.

You're seriously deluded if you think CNN was "accurate reporting". They've been liberally biased for decades, as has most media outlets. But this is typical of liberals, no perspective and no self awareness. CNN and MSNBC created the market for Fox.

spot on .

Hence the mournful cry of the far right "The left controls everything!"
That cos your on the FAR right dickhead!

I'm not "far right", dickhead. You lunatics have gone so far off the leftist deep end, you don't even know which way is up.

And it's you're, not your.

CNN chasing Fox viewers is one of their dumbest moves in some time. Fox viewers don't tune into the Five or Pirro or Tucker when he was there for facts or news. It's to get fed propaganda.

I think they were trying to draw in more independents and moderate conservatives hence the interviews with Mike Pence and Nikki Haley. Then again, they did do that disastrous interview with Trump...

I still think CNN is at least less biased than Faux News if you watch both and the types of video they upload on their channel. CNN shows more of the world while Faux is more US based.

Said the propagandist. People tune into Fox news because they cannot stand the liberal bias at the other mainstream networks. Bias that you are apparently completely blind to. CNN and MSNBC are pure leftist propaganda and you're too dumb to realize it. If you think it's purely "the news", you're seriously deluded.

We know Fox is biased.
