Don't know what to make of this NY Times article

They claim CNN presents non partisian news!

Are you worried about CNN's ratings decline?

"Journalism?" My eye!

None of the msm are actually journalist. They are propagandist and sensationalist. MSM has actually been brought into the supreme court to decide if they are liable for spouting lies, propaganda and misdirection to the public. As I recall, the msm got off by being declared "entertainment." So there you have it and good riddance to the lot of them.

I have trouble believing

I have trouble believing anything the NY Times parades as "the truth". Their "exposé" on Apple turned out to be shameless click-bait. They have sunk below the National Enquirer.

Many people can't afford

Many people can't afford cable, and many more simply either don't choose to watch or simply refuse to have cable.

Besides, who wants to watch the same Wolf Blitzer rerun three times a day when he can get his news from the internet immediately?

LOL

More sweet MSM karma.

"CNN ratings decline causes jublilation!" NY times is worried?

Another news outlet might have said "CNN ratings decline causes jublilation!"

The NY Times

was one of the first major propaganda outlets in the US.
It claims CNN presents "non-partisan news" in the same way that it thinks itself to present "non-partisan news".
Meaning that it's understood that they are both completely in the tank as propaganda outlets for the establishment on the left-leaning side.

The first thing to understand about these outlets is that they don't tell the truth.

Screw those bias bastards.

Screw those bias bastards. Not only have I stopped watching them, I also canceled my TW cable and switched to a dish. Only picked up the dish because the wife had a fit when I suggested we just watch streams through our DLNA.

The last day I watched any msm.

CNN are you listening??

Televise the Ron Paul rallies, that would bring up the ratings. Hire the Judge, put him against O'really?, or Hannitized. Hire Thomas Woods, Jack Hunter, John Stossel and Deb Medina for their own shows. Put Michael Nystrom in charge of political programming. Anyone else have any ideas?

Revive the show "Crossfire" and hire back...

Pat Buchanan! Now that would boost CNN's ratings big time!

Minnesota Mary

Great idea!

I did not think of Pat Buchanan and crossfire, who could we get for the liberal side? While we are at it, why not have Jesse Ventura and Sheriff Joe Arpaio do a show on government cover ups and Jack Abramhoff do one on government corruption?

they are ideaolgues not capitalists

they don't want ratings they want to spread their propoganda

Yes, They can be the first to jump on the band wagon

because they all will eventually. Be the first station to cover the truth,CNN, and your ratings will skyrocket way past all the others for many years to come.

New Reality Show

How about a reality show where they drop Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly , Dick Morris, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, et al, off in the front lines of Iraq, so they can "fight for our freedom." Then we can wager on which one poops their pants first. :)

I used to watch MSM TV

I used to watch CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Current, etc.

Not anymore. I won't go there for even a second.

Since I've stopped watching, I am much more aware of what is happening around me and in my country. Odd, isn't it?

"What if the American people learn the truth" - Ron Paul

It does seem odd but

I feel the exact same way after turning off the "NEWS". When I talk about current events, most people around me are like, huh? When did that happen? I feel like I got a secret inside scoop:-) Too bad it shouldn't be a secret, and the old news has become is really disgusting. BTW, I am noticing more and more people referring to MSM as the "old news media".

death by a thousand cuts

may all those who read this, be one of them.

People are Waking up

And they aren't buying what those networks are selling.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

How on earth did this happen?!

Oh one wonders.

Communist News Network can die.

I hate msm, more than words can explain.

Its pretty simple. Turn off

Its pretty simple. Turn off the TV.

BE SURE that you turn OFF your CABLE OR SATELLITE RECEIVER.. ...

when you turn off your TV...leaving that ON is just as if your TV is on.
Your receiver will turn on automatically when it needs to record. I used to never turn it off...then I realized CNN thought I was watching them 24/7...NOT ANYMORE!! Haven't watched any MSM for over 2 months...and loving it!

Or put the receiver on C-Span

C-Span is OK

As a Related Aside...

After the first St. Charles County Caucus went haywire (by design of the county GOP), I made sure to watch all three local news broadcasts (FOX, CBS, NBC affiliates) to check on their reporting of events - events I witnessed myself and knew firsthand.

Well, how did they do? Not one of the stations got the facts 100% accurate. Two of them were completely wrong in their take on events that day. Only one station even came close, with a few minor errors... and it was the local FOX affiliate, believe it or not!

And all this error related to a public event, where there were invited media (invited by the establishment) and tons of witnesses. Yet, no interviews... only a reporter sitting there telling us a 'story'. I have serious doubts whether the media gets any story, anytime, 100% correct. I view with suspicion the whole enterprise.

LOL if they actually lived in reality,

they would know that lying don't sell anymore!

then again, we're talking about MSM pressitute whores, for whom even IF they initially started out KNOWING that they were lying to their audience, eventually, after awhile they started to believe in their own lies, to the point that they cannot tell reality from their astroturfed propaganda 'news.'

Who knows, perhaps in a knee jerk overreaction CNN might figure that they need to cover Dr. Paul and the R3VOLution to have ANY semblance of truth.

Uh, NOT!

Like that's ever gonna happen, in 5 million years. Wouldn't it be hilarious, though? We get to annoy Dana Bash & John Roberts again. Ah... the memories.

Predictions in due Time...
