@Abel lmao

theyre concentrating on the wrong thing... they made fun of him because of his mental illness

everyone can agree thats wrong

And I just read this article about how they must've blackmailed a reddit user who made a Trump meme.

the CNN wrestling tackle?

yeah

if they concentrate on the fact they said negro... theyre going to lose

they "hold the right to reveal his name"

I hated CNN before, I despise CNN now.

I dont think i ever liked cnn my grandma used to watch it when she babysat me

because most on the right.. firstly, its not "the n-word" secondly... most of the right are pro free speech

Then when i grew up i was like cnn i dont need that shit

@wacka agree

50%

CNN stopped having a use when they stopped reporting incidents, and became "expert opinion" pundits on Tweets

CNN should split their service to CNN news and CNN opinion

@Dr.Wol it sucks but this is the evolution of “news” now

at very least they can see then which one gets more ratings

CNN news would become a net-loss

They can't report faster than twitter viral incidents

Im so glad we have access to more shit now because of the intertubes

"News" evolved to becoming everyone with a twitter and a phone

whats left as "mainstream media news" is just refuse of has-beens, and toxic partisanship

you know, it is what it is

it would be interesting if they brought out a new law/rule... where if someone describes themselves in a certain way (like "factual news") they are held to extreme standards where not even opinion pieces are allowed .. I wonder how many would actually subscribe to that description

would still be fake

you'd get lying by omission instead

so you still have freedom of press... but if you want that "presteigious" label you have to have extreme standards and massive repercussions for misleading

well, with that you'd have the tale of 2 narratives

Left thinks CNN is telling the truth and Fox is misleading
Right thinks Fox is telling the truth and CNN is misleading

@Dr.Wol i mentioned this before but i worked at nbc and they actually pulled me into a meeting with them and they asked me what is twitter and shot like that , i was just a IT consultant

so cnn/fox/msnbc would all have to split to 2 companies ... with one having the new title

it would have to stick completely to facts

"so and so said this", "so and so replied with this"

who decides what facts are?

This was in 2009 and fox was beating nbc

nobody can decide what facts are

then you can't have a consensus on which news is "prestigeous"

Facts fuck that , we need shit that promotes our side , thats what is happenig now

if you say "Trump infuriates people by saying 'blah blah blah'" ... then you get repercusions if you cant prove that a significant amount of people are infuriated

I'd like a michelin star style organisation for news websites

Where they rate news websites

basically anyone can call them out .. and they have to prove what they say
