CNN's latest turnaround is proof positive that it is not liberal reporters that report the news...

[kentuck]

...it is the owners of the network.

We have known that for many years with FOX News.

In fact, it has been that way forever.

Reporters that mistakingly thought they could report the facts from a liberal perspective have just had their chain jerked.

They have been ordered to report what we tell you to report and be careful not to get out of your lane.

Or you may not have a job.

1. It is all about the dollars nt

[gab13by13]

4. Then why did MSNBC

fire Keith Olbermann and Dylan Ratigan?

The 2 major shareholders of MSNBC are BlackRock and Vanguard.

[doc03]

7. Keith Obermann came across as too out of the main stream. Don't remember any

Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC. That is why CNN is trying to move a little right. If they can get people from
both sides they will get better ratings. I am not talking about Q Anon nuts, what were the mainstream
Republicans and independents. I want to hear opinions from both sides not just the left. I think some of our side
goes way too far left for me. Example de-fund the police.

[gab13by13]

14. I think some of our side goes way too far right for me.

Example; Joe Lieberman, Kristen Sinema, Joe Manchin.

Defund the police wasn't a far left idea, it was a reasonable proposal that was politicized by the right, just like they do with "Black Lives Matter."

[doc03]

16. I agree there are some too far right too. Since we have so much inflation I am not

so sure Manchin was that far off base opposing much of it

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. inflation started before that was passed. Furthermore

inflation is worldwide.

Manchin was NOT right, he was just parroting Moscow Mitch's republicon talking point

[sarcasmo]

18. Olbermann has a track record of being prickly and burning bridges.

[gab13by13]

20. What did Olbermann say on MSNBC that offended you?

Olbermann made MSNBC the most money of any anchor so there goes the theory that it's just about money.

I never missed Dylan Ratigan, his last shows were going around the country exposing crony capitalism. He was one passionate news anchor.

People were fired on MSNBC; Olbermann, Ratigan, Schultz, Brashear, Perry, because they strayed from the corporate teleprompter.

[FoxNewsSucks]

23. You're right

I'd say they were fired mainly for not following the pro-corporate messaging.

Also for being too critical of republicans.

[Samrob]

24. Not ALL about the dollars. It is also about the power, greed and privileged class staying above the

law, keeping their knees on the "little folks" and believing everyone else is undeserving of the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

2. Evidence of any of this?

[pwb]

3. Saying they are reporters is a stretch. They are news talkers paid enough to turn against us.

Even without the wealth class influence most talkers become them. The wealth class makes it so.

[Walleye]

8. That's it. The Talking Heads get so much money they become Republicans

How much does Chuck Todd make at least 5 million a year probably. Of course the right wing don’t need proof or anything. They just repeat over and over again the “liberal media” And it becomes truth to them

[GuppyGal]

5. What latest turnaround? The Rupert Murdoch expose last night ya mean?????

[gab13by13]

6. Kentuck, you nailed this one.

Allow me to post this for the 17th time;

Fox News says that Obama beats his wife.
CNN says it needs more information.
MSNBC says no he doesn't.

All of those 3 networks are doing the exact same thing; keeping the narrative of Obama beating his wife on the front page.

[Walleye]

9. Oh it's worse than that. Now we have abortions after the baby is born

And we are grooming children to be perverts. Many many people are saying. Don’t expect the networks to take these crackpot theories apart for how ridiculous they are

[SalamanderSleeps]

11. By the time the "news readers" leave the farm system they are already corrupt.

//Breaking News!//

"Hi, this Michael Steelbum "News-Center-What-ever"

Here in "Anywhere Nowhere."

"I am willing to say anything as long I get paid, and people really, really, like me."

//Breaking News!//

[walkingman]

10. Chris Wallace on CNN?? Wasn't he a FOX pundit for years?

[kentuck]

13. I think the new Boss at CNN came in with some new orders...

Stop talking about Trump so much. Do not have "Breaking News" at the top of every hour. (If there is a breaking story that is new "news", then you may report that) Otherwise, incorporate more news stories into your reporting. Five minutes of "Trump stories" per hour is enough.

If you have a problem with this new system, then you may want to look elsewhere for employment?

[walkingman]

15. I have no problem with them taking Trump from the news cycle. I do have a problem if they

start spouting or supporting RW ideology.

I've been watching MSNBC lately and I like Stephanie Ruhle. Even better than Alex Wagner.

[Me.]

12. Which Is Why We Keep Hearing No ONe Wants PJB As President

He's not in their pockets

[PortTack]

19. Nailed it!

[Ninga]

17. Olbermann on his Countdown podcast has covered this extensively. Check it out.

His take is that CNN is headed for the crapper.

[Elessar Zappa]

21. I haven't noticed a huge change at CNN.

It may be giving a little more time to Republicans but for the most part, it seems the same. I’ll continue to watch unless I see major changes.
