WE ARE UNWAVERING IN OUR COMMITMENT
I call bullshit on CNN’s numbers. I subscribed to DirecTV recently and no matter what I could do to change it, the channel that the receiver was set to start on was CNN. On my phone it was the same story.
Hey Bobby,
Terrific reporting and commentary, as always!
I believe Jeff Zucker has already done a ‘cam newton’ and checked out on CNN. Sure, he shows up and goes through the motions, but a dumpster fire is in the cards for CNN in the new year as Zucker dreams of climbing the ladder and running a media empire. However, if the masters of the universe are somehow thwarted in November, ol’ Jeff may be up schitt’s creek.
Well, CNN is currently being auctioned to Jeff Bezos, who, if that happens, will control a significant chunk of the “news” media, and will have considerable influence for the Left.
Shep is going to have a hard time. When he left Fox, he was widely viewed by the conservative Fox audience as very liberal. Much like Chris Wallace is today. The liberals/progressives see him as a former Fox News anchor and hate him before they even listen to him.
So those CNN numbers include every airport and bus station in the country. If so, maybe…. but probably still too high.
Tucker is the real MVP not china king lebron james
Tucker Carlson blew up because he is first to put a finger on the massive undercurrent of skepticism the public has of the loads of propaganda being spewed at us from all corners of our lives. We are being manipulated by many establishments we historically trusted, we all know something’s up, and Tucker gave voice to this HUGE population. This population is also the hidden voter pollsters aren’t catching. People are fed up and he can articulate better than anyone.
Shep Smith is just another sad victim of TDS.
Shep isn’t “viewed” as liberal; he is. When reading a Teleprompter, he is very good, almost as good as Obama. When speaking off the cuff, he is terrible and shows his lack of command of basic facts. As for the Constitution and laws, he is completely ignorant. Which is why FNC let him go.
Good read. Any idea, Bobby, of OAN numbers? Or are they minuscule
Tucker is a rock star. The only media person to call out that douchebag attorney, Michael Avannati for what he is while everyone else was fawning over him . and he did it to his face ” Creepy Porn Lawyer”
Tucker Carlson is must watch tv.
Tucker Carlson is so good, he makes you wonder what the hell you were watching or doing before his show came into existence. It’s hard to imagine surviving this election year without him providing pushback and sanity vs. lying media and sleazeball politicians.
