Absolutely. Get that divisive asshat off the air, but DON'T REPLACE HIM!!! Just do the fucking news!
CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. need fewer talking heads and more straight news reporting.

If they only did the news, we'd have 30 minutes of reporting a day.
Remember CNN Headline news back in the day? That was nice. 30 minutes of news, sometimes changing as things happened.

Stockholders want profit. Stockholders require growth. It isn't like you can make news happen, so sometimes you have to embellish. And if you discover that keeping your viewers scared, pissed, and divided is the way to make more profits, then I guess the stockholders require that.

The absolute best news reporting of all time. No spin. No talking heads. Just facts.
This. I have no idea what the answer is, but as long as we have 24 hour news stations who need original programming and have to show a profit, the MSM will never do its job without divisive content. And no, the government taking over isn't the answer either.GORDON wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 12:17 pm Stockholders want profit. Stockholders require growth.

An actual opinion piece running on the front page of CNN.com:
How to fight back against the "anti-woke" movement.
The bullshit this propagandist pushes in this article shows exactly how each side keeps their folks in the dark. Spew your narrative, never discuss the actual points the other side makes (or only counter the most extreme examples), and then paint the opposition as ignorant while your side is morally and intellectually superior.
Two cults. You're either with them 100% or you're the enemy.
If you're in one, you are not morally or intellectually superior to shit. You're just in line for Kool-Aid.

I hate that I don't dare utter the truism "Only unpopular speech needs protection" outside the walls of our little garden, here, without being labelled a nazi.

Yeah, it sucks. Depending on the company I keep I have to silence my views that are farther left or right for fear of getting into a heated argument (notice I didn't say "debate").
It amazes me how some people are so intellectually and morally superior that their views are unable to withstand facts thrown at them.
It's very weird to sit and watch both sides trying to destroy the country in different ways. Even weirder to listen to people try and justify it while completely ignoring history and legitimate counterarguments.
That's why I like you people. I can say whatever and either get it validated or told why it's wrong.
