Honestly we're better off without the 24/7 attention grabby sensationalised news cycle
24/7 news isn’t going to die. It’s simply going to migrate to your phone. I mean it kinda has already. Every day your going to get blitz with notifications and see news compete with your normal content. Honestly, it’s not going to get better
We dont need it. The internet exists. 🤷♂️
having docu's to take hours off it would be just better
The constant screaming for attention is tiring…I cut the cord years ago…
I agree. We only needs news a couple times are day. Not 24/7 unless something very special is happening.
People want the truth, sick of lies, and politically motivated agendas. People are not as dumb as they thought.
Well according to CNN’s rating there are about 400,000 morons
Actually it turns out people are even dumber than we all thought. 😂
People are shockingly dumb. And people are far more interested in the narrative that best represents their biased beliefs. The truth would actually unite both the right and left against the people in power.
@@reneolguin1081 Americans are.
fox news viewers are beyond dumb.
They failed completely to bring back investigative journalism, period...thus the continued decline 👍
do not need investigate journalism too liberal even for me I'm center-left, we need more professional journalism.
Bingo. Welcome to the agendemic! Post Bush-era so began the sideism media pit of: echo chambers, cherry picking, white knighting, sjw, anti jw, one-off examples used to paint massive murals of fuzzy pictures, and rallying and rowdying the herds through divisive, clickbait, edgy, and manipulated sludge.
Oh there was a gay picture book left by an 8th grade troll in a library shelf?
'The entire school system is broken by horrific libs and queers down to the core!!
Oh someone called a teenage Afam "boy" behind a register in Alabama?
'This plague of racism is only spinning worse out of control by the hands of privelaged white americans!'
(Totally not uneducated idiots as the most common problem...
& Not just 1/100th, of .01%, of a 1/200 urban county, in 1/50 states are those 2 one-off schools the issue, in a nation of 700million+ people...) But now suddenly, everybody grabs their pitchforks and rallies behind their echo chamber herd, and spins up overarching blanket issues out of thin air as stances to hate for and love one another over.
This is why I live happily in the mountains outside of an urban area. No politics up here, and all of my neighbors get along with one another, in likely a 60/40 R/D split, by which data supports also.
Their agendas became so obvious and blatant to the point of insulting the intelligence of the viewers.
You are ON POINT. Even though FAUX bought CNN,the programming stayed parallel to FAUX in a way that it is still considered the same as FAUX.
And just who do you think is “telling the truth?”

@@danieltyler8932The chick so crazy even Rogan won't talk to her anymore? That's incredible dude 😂
The moment journalism starts expressing it's opinion it becomes propaganda
That’s ABSOLUTELY ALL FOX is and does
@@ericcrawford8308Waaa waaa. Funny how Fox is still successful, whereas your limpdick organisations are tanking. Maybe woke bullshit isn't as popular as you want it to be...
No , Fox does have more facts to back. Their news app than CNN ever did ,not that fox is right all the time but way more correct with their news and CNN
@@ericcrawford8308so do you think this video is inaccurate?
@@ericcrawford8308I completely agree w/u. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS etc all of these news sites EXCEPT for FOX NEWS tell the truth. If u watch them ur not going to hear lies. Here’s just a couple examples:
▪️Fox News claimed that VP Harris had ordered copies of her children’s book to be gifted to migrant children at a Department of Health and Human Services shelter in CA. This was not based on facts & the story was retracted but the misinfo was already out there.
▪️Fox News claimed President Biden is coming for our burgers 🫤 🍔 claiming that Biden’s administration would require Americans to radically reduce the amount of red-meat that they eat due to Biden's climate policy. This is NOT TRUE. Cmon there is truth & there is fiction. At least the other stations don’t blatantly lie about the craziest things!
▪️Do we even want to get into the settlement Fox News agreed to do they didn’t have to go to court w/Dominion which is a much smaller company then Fox. They were sued for DEFAMATION & btw if I were Hunter Biden I would sue Fox News too! He didn’t choose to work in his Daddy’s cabinet like Jared & Ivanka so he should’ve be scrutinized like he’s a public figure. The GOP & Fox care more about his nudes & I start wondering why is that 🤔
If CNN actually wanted, "News News," as they say they do, there's no need to court political interests on either side. All you have to do is present factual and unbiased information.
The problem is that the attempts to return to 'The Center' aren't actually driven by journalistic integrity, they're driven by a desire for a wider consumer audience and higher ratings and people on *both sides* of the spectrum know pandering like this when they see it.
Excellent point the problem of bringing more viewership together with unbiased informations. Therein lies the problem because the truth is in 9 of 10 times something you will not like.
Which brings up the real question: Is the profit-motive compatible with the news-sector?
@@AaronOkeanos "Is the profit-motive compatible with the news-sector?" Comparing to what? I'm watching how after each election in my country tax funded TV is having management replaced, for the one that shares views of newly elected government. I also watched how a few foreign "independent" news channels, were a very expensive way of expressing strong bias of local unelected establishment.
There is a different problem with not for profit system - assuming that quality is high, people should willing to pay for such content and it should be self financing, possibly profitable. If you have to force them to pay, then you most likely know the answer concerning value for money.
The people watching fox and CNN want the drama they don't want the news.
Having been in essence a super PAC for several years they needed to clear the air for anyone but the hard left to consider them news and be share information with them.
I think you may want to say “Objective” instead of unbiased.
I made the same mistake in my head.
Being unbiased has limited utility.
I find it ironic that journalists, people who are full of themselves and think they are in a position to educate (indoctrinate) others are the very last people to realize just how irrelevant they've become.
i get that snobby feeling from them, its disgusting
Same with fancy university professors.
Excellent point, at some point journalists, critics, actors, musicians etc. mostly started spewing 'the message'
Very true. Tim the beanie and Styx are more trusted.
@@tadhgcronin175 You're just replacing one set of lying ideologues with another.
I remember growing up not knowing the political leanings of any of the newspeople. - Even on CNN. Not saying they were totally impartial. Just that they at least attempted to remain impartial to some degree. Crazy, right?
There was a time when Journalists reported the news. No bias, no personal opinions. Integrity was vital to their reputation.
I'm 28 and can't remember when that was the case. I'm sure it was at some point, but not in my adult life.

Exactly !
There was never a time when the news wasn't bias.... it's just gotten worse.

@@ASMRDoodlez I'm 43. It was much better. I'd watch it every morning before work. That is how I saw what was happening, as it was all happening on 9/11. I watched the news before then too.
I want News, not commentary. All CNN, Fox, etc. do is give their spin on the news.
PBS newshour
Reuters and Associated Press
Yeah people cancelled cable when they realized the news on there was always lying to them.
They should just state fact checked facts. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
The last time I watched CNN was during the coverage of the Trump vs. Clinton election in 2016. When Trump's victory was announced, CNN journalists had a nervous breakdown. It was the most unprofessional thing I had ever seen on television. The bias so was obvious. I decided that day that I would never watch CNN again, not because I supported one candidate over the other, but because it became obvious to me that CNN was an unprofessional company, and that this type of company would not report the news, but create the news to their liking. And time just proved I was right. I don't think I will EVER watch CNN again.
Go woke go broke....simple math
Assume you don’t watch Fox News for the same reason you give.
I agree.
LOL...did you miss that meltdown at Fox News when Obama was reelected and in 2020 when Biden was elected?
Just out of curiosity! What do you think of Fox News..?
If centrism is the inability to criticise one or even both sides failings, that isn't serious journalism, it is pandering. Neutrality is to tell anybody when they fucked up. Serious journalism is to discover that investigatively, not just report on it when others do. The ultimate goal of journalism is to check the work of the politicians so that their actual achievements and failures are known to the voting public. Well that, and similar things in non-politics news segments.
Problem is, this strategy will put you in the right's crosshairs. You will be hailed as a communist and liberal stooge.
truth isn't centrism or neutrality- cnn became a half truth teller- a news model that doesn't age well. fox, cnn and msnbc got/are getting what they deserved and swallowed
Well put 👍
I agree and I think that this video conflates two aspects of CNN’s attempted shift. On one hand, they tried (or at least said they would try) to focus more on fact-based reporting rather than featuring tons of opinion content or constantly bashing Trump. On the other, they tried to capture right leaning tv watchers by firing more prominent trump critics and making content they thought those watchers would like. Those two goals aren’t the same. One aims to focus on featuring the most important stories in a straight analysis-free manner. The other panders to a viewing demographic.
I think a problem is that politics in USA at the moment divides people into two camps, with neither willing to listen to critisisms about their own.
You could have shortened this entire broadcast by just saying the reason why their viewership is down and the reason why they're losing is because they're dishonest now if you had said that you could have shortened this up to one or two minutes
In a world where people won’t really listen to anyone with different ideas & views, it’s asking a lot to find a meeting in the middle. In a world where differing ideas are always met with name calling and labels. It’s tough. We used to have more of a “let’s agree to disagree” tone… ”I still respect you’re right to hold a different view.” Sadly, that world seems dead and gone.
TLDR news has destroyed cable news 😂😂😂
"People want news in their news" - LOL. Well done to these big brains for catching up.
Short answer: News media is in trouble because it's terrible.
It would be like if an Oakland TV station brought back every story to how it affects the Raiders footballl team. If they talked about how an apartment fire was going to cause the team to be sad, and underperform in next week's game. How the increase in drug use was focused around weekdays, because obviously people enjoy watching the Raiders more than shooting up. How the increase in new housing construction was a boon for the team as it would add fans. Like, we just want the info, not the unrelated analysis of how it will help a (political) sportsbal team.
Let’s be real.
CNN is NOT failing because the audience is media literate and therefore reject its superficial reporting.
The audience in general are more partisan and thirst for outrage and sensationalism.
CNN doesn’t know how to serve this audience.
And because it’s a corporate oil tanker, it cannot change direction. It cannot adapt. It lacks agility.
Big money, big names, big debts, and no one is willing to make changes for fear of affecting the share price.
Too big to succeed
Also for years they accused Trump for everything including bad weather that even people who criticed Trump said: wait a moment that is not true
He said he wanted something like Faux News, which has about 5HR of news news and 19HR of ppl yelling.
Honestly I don't even think that's right either. People want propaganda that reinforces their views, the fact that Faux news (and more recently the newer even more radically right wing Cable news channel competitor) have both done so well for so long proves it. CNN should have just embraced being called too liberal and tried to compete with MSNBC if they wanted to improve their ratings.
If cable tv bills were paid a-la-carte (meaning consumers only pay for the channels they want to watch) the way they should be, you would see 95% of channels evaporate overnight. The cream rises to the top.
Really nice video! I liked that it was mostly watching the presenter going through the topics with less than usual edits. Reminds me of when this channel (TLDR in general) first started! It fits well with the 20min format of the vids which i think is good for the channel! Keep it up :)
I’m Happy that CCN is struggling honestly they are to blame for a lot of journalistic problems nowadays.
Then you be a lot more happy if Warner Bros. Discovery will spinoff CNN.
I feel bad for people at CNN since these idiots are messing with their careers.
Journalistic problems are caused by the journalists. CNN needs to get rid of some very lame commentators. They filled some key positions with very biased people.
@@samoyed81966
Everyone will be a lot happier when all these networks go bankrupt.
I C what you did there
It's *2023.* Young people just don't watch TV that much anymore. Heck, I was born in '88, and I pretty much never watch television. Everything is online.
I am 53 in a few days and hardly watch TV anymore. It's not just the young.
Born in '91 and don't watch TV as well. I have Netflix, YT Premium, and for everything else, Torrent.
46, and I was never a huge fan of TV in general, let alone TV news. The internet, for all its flaws, has been my primary resource for news.
I haven't watched television in years.
Yes, but that's a big problem. You know why? Because we'll be getting our news from who knows where? At least with news networks you could know who owns them. Do you know who owns any YT channel? Who is giving money to content creators? In some cases yes, but not all. Then, Bob the RUclipsr won't be getting press credentials at the White House, so he's unlikely to have access to get interviews with presidents and prime-ministers. Last, but not least, probably the biggest problem: bubbles. Online is a medium that favours the creation of bubbles. We will never see what news other sides are getting in their bubble and it has happened to me to see someone comment: what about X? And I would be thinking... WTF is X? What are you talking about?
The general public needs a baseline of common information/knowledge to have a functional debate across party lines. Otherwise, considering the bubbles, we'll look at one another like we're crazy, not knowing what the other side knows. Division is deeper when this common foundation doesn't exist and for all their faults, cable news media could provide that. Online media, like YT channels, can't really do that. There are big RUclipsrs that I've never, ever heard of, channels with millions of followers, but being outside of my bubble, I wouldn't know. And the same goes for everyone. The internet and social media are too disjointed and decentralized to get a complete picture.
They deserve to be forgotten for ever...They caused much pain & tears... 😢😢😢 the lies outrageous...
After 9/11 they realized how profitable fear is. The only people who profited more from 9/11 than CNN was the military industrial complex.
Sooner or later liars always fall. Being large in the "media", they fall harder.
The term “slow news day” came out of the newspaper era. We don’t need a goddamned 24 hour news cycle.
True, that!
There’s nothing wrong with opinion programming as long as you can differentiate the between news and opinion. CNN as well as most establishment media has failed to do that. That’s why they’ve lost credibility and podcast and independent journalism has flourished.
All news is opinions even if you think it looks nicer and sounds nicer or is less abrasive than the traditional media it is still opinions.
Your opinion can change which aspects of a topic that are reported which can completely change a news story.
Go read a news article on something that you're an expert in from a source that you claim to trust and tell me that it's not an opinion
You're confusing opinions with bias.
All news is biased, although some agencies try harder than others to reduce the impact of that bias.
News, however, is not opinion. Opinion requires no verification or fact-checking, whereas news does. It's why Fox is so dangerous, because it presents it's opinions in a news format, and never explicitly state that it isn't news (except when threatened with lawsuits) so people think their opinions are true.
No. They've lost credibility because malevolent bad-faith actors have organized and worked hard to discredit them. You know what else has "lost credibility" the same way in these years? Teachers, fact-checkers, doctors and literal fucking **science.**
That’s one of the biggest problems I see with US journalism today. The first newspaper I read regularly had an opinion section clearly marked and on separate pages. Obviously no journalism is completely pure news without any opinion, even just selecting which stories to report is an inherently biased thing. But they tried their best to report as neutrally as possible on the news, didn’t use biased words there etc.
The difference with the "cable news" networks is 100% of their programming is political opinion. The 3 prime networks have "news" segments at specific time slots, with talk shows, game shows, and varieties of drama and comedy genres. News papers certainly have political party leanings, but they also have straightforward reporting in sports and lifestyle interests topics. The cable guys are just lying by calling themselves "news".
I loved the break in "news is fu---" LoL 😂 very clever 💯💯💯
Our family has no tv for almost 20 years now.
Personally I think moving towards the center and focusing on facts doesn’t necessarily mean appeasing both parties. It means objectively reporting regardless of whether either side thinks it’s fair
Absofrickinlutely😁 somebody understood the assignment. 👍
Of course it does. But when one side consistently lies or is wrong much more often, then “neutral” gets accused of picking sides. Neutral only works if both sides are equally right and wrong at most times. Too often I see people try to be neutral when the actual facts are one sided.
Well, focusing on facts makes one somehow usually go 180 degrees from where the right wing tends to go now.
If anything everyone would like the news less. There's a reason the news is like this, it's more profitable. People are way more willing to sit and watch someone tell them what they want to hear.

I don't think traditional news media should expect to make a huge profit when they are there to push political agenda of their shareholders. That being said I don't mean this necessarily hurt their neutrality and credibility, but it is incredibly naive to expect any news outlets, TLDR News included, don't have a political agenda to make in their shows.
Thank you. There is no such thing as “unbiased” news. It has been harmful for decades to pretend it is something that exists much less is somehow superior and therefore desirable to attain.
You'd have to define 'political agenda'. Media orgs in general may lean left or right or may even favour certain political parties, but usually won't fully stand behind them. The EIC or manager can curtail some heat from a big news story, but if something newsworthy happens to a political party, they're usually on it like flies on shit.
Then of course you have the usual tenets that many news orgs abide by, don't be racist, don't be a bigot, etc, and I don't know how many people would call that a 'political agenda' nowadays.
@@ruekurei88Fox News has left the chat.... 😬

As a Canadian, CNN used to be my go to for American news. After this recent Trump debacle, they've completely lost me. I will never take CNN seriously again after that.
I remembering paying to view CNN until just after the Trump/Clinton election when CNN’s opinions just got too opinionated, and I’m a Canadian🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
CNN is free in America and we don't even watch it because it's a propaganda media.
Cable news has always been that way it's not real news. Fox is the same thing
CNN is boring. Two much on politics and politicians repeating the same thing they said yesterday and the day before. CNN is unbalanced to one topic and most airtime is opinion. Let people draw their own conclusions. No more opinions from Sen. LieAlot.
Canadians thinking they can't handle opinion is a non-starter for US audiences who can; often, just not too often, opinions are welcome in getting a handle on how people in another political zoo otherwise "think". When the opinion sticks with being too opinionated by rightwingers, a minute or two causes more than enough for any but their audience to bail. Left opinion actually in the US is stretched across media enough for us to keep listening. The fact the Reicht really only has Fox Snooze and 2 tiny nothingburgers of disinfirmation misleads observers to think they represent the entire country. They don't. See the antiTrump majorities over the last several elections for a clue.
If tldr is to mean anything to the young outside of high school age, it should be nonstop Progressive. Which is how 90% of them vote. tldr is too childlike to even attempt it.
@@craigbhill1
In my opinion, the established press has killed itself by every year progressing more towards bringing the news babyboomers want to see to get their feelings confirmed, rather than trying to be a relatively neutral and objective channel that brings wisdom through facts.
The babyboomers literally ruined everything.
The babyboomers are the ones more likely to watch old media news and so they're trying to get a piece of that demo pie. Not sure how that'll work though, it's not like Fox News is gonna disappear and those viewers already hate CNN, they've now alienated what audience they have, and MSNBC is probably gobbling up more of that marketshare already. Warner Brothers Discovery is making some weird moves.
Basically you are saying you are a snowflake and don't like what they report. Therefore they are 'killing themselves' lol
I mean, younger people are watching biased RUclips content instead. RUclips’s political news (more like commentary) is a mess. The only difference is cable news is massive decline. The market for more neutral news like TLDR is relatively small.
If you think it’s just the baby boomers who enjoy being fed their own shit your proving a point beautifully 😂
People just have different options and became distrustful of corporate media.
Corporate media are owned by criminals trying to present the system they own as the good side, and real democracy as the bad side.

I used to watch CNN on a daily basis but stopped around 2021. I stopped watching the news so much in general. I got tired of the rage inducing headlines everyday. It was not good for my mental health. I still like to keep up with the news by subscribing to neutral news channels like tldr.
Those rage inducing headlines were bad for the mental health of the nation. So many people died from lack of socialization and from lack of exercise during lockdowns and from stress caused by the actions of corporate media and politicians.
"You should be afraid." - CNN, October 2020.
Same. I prefer short summaries of important things that happened during the week, because tgere is just too much noise that I won't remember even in an hour since reading about it.
@@purplespeckledappleeater8738well unfortunately we had every reason to be afraid because an unhinged lunatic was running the country and had no interest in actually addressing the problem presented by the pandemic. And we could tell it was like a toddler was in charge
@@angelainamarie9656 And the Biden Administration are not behaving like unhinged lunatics? Have you been following the Hunter Biden trials? The Biden Administration is legally incompetent without the protection of the DOJ. Calling a man so wealthy he can fund his own elections without having to make backroom deals for political donations a toddler is shoddy backwards-thinking logic. Most politicians only become millionaires after becoming politicians, thus become plugged into a political machine that many Americans endearingly refer to as "The Swamp". You came up with a bad regurgitated excuse for why someone you don't like is bad instead of listing something they actually did.
Trump did address the pandemic through organizing the vaccines and recommending hydroxychloroquine and organizing efforts to manufacture domestic medical supplies for use during the pandemic. I worked in 2020 building hazmat and ventilator packs under the Trump initiative while the US outbid other countries for critically needed medical supplies after China went into lockdown. There is evidence China may have had their leak as early as August of 2019 and were intentionally flying individuals with COVID around the world thus spreading the virus. The first cities in the US to get COVID were New York, LA, and Seattle who refused to shut down initially. In Seattle they knew of a mystery illness and did not report it to the CDC, thus spreading the virus. Leftist mainstream media also confused how to safeguard against COVID all through the Summer of 2020 for months with nonsensical recommendations such as wearing multiple masks that led to people passing out from lack of oxygen, which causes brain damage and lying about the lethality of the virus while simultaneously promoting people go out into the streets of cities to riot, thus spreading the disease. COVID reached the state of Georgia after an African American family from Atlanta had a huge funeral with hundreds of people and many infected people then spread the virus. Democrats did a lot to spread COVID and make the pandemic far worse than it had to be for years including laying off essential workers and military personnel while violating human rights and Constitutional rights. Containing a pandemic risks isolating the disease and creating new variants, meaning the Democrats made the disease mutate through lockdowns. Many Americans didn't die of COVID but died from lockdowns and isolation, became homeless, and mental illness and drug abuse skyrocketed as did violence and crime.
CNN was continuously looping overinflated COVID statistics and Trump rallies back-to-back and repeating "you should be afraid" before the election. The Democrats spent $14 billion calling Trump and Republicans racists through propaganda. In Detroit we had literal billboards calling Trump a racist and racial advertising targeting specific voting demographics.
Same here-it seemed like Anderson and Company was and likely still is on a mission to light fires under their audience’s collective ass, to keep them at the edge of their seats!
I gave up cable. Way too expensive. I can have internet without ads.
If you're upsetting people from both sides of the political spectrum you're doing something right.
Man I love billionaires just deciding the politics of media consumed by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
ABC news is owned by disney. My wife and I gave up on watching it when the purchase was made. I don't know which is worse 1 crazy rich owner or the biased employees of a giant company, who don't even own massive amounts of the company's stock, using the power of the company to force news organization to tow their personal lines.
Biden had humans falling of airplanes.
CNN isn't all that significant around the world. Just cos it's American doesn't automatically make it the world news. It's almost entirely American news, from an American perspective, for American audiences. This bias, which it shares with its rivals Fox and the rest btw, is its most common - and normalized - form of bias, which is entirely taken for granted by its audience as they themselves mostly hail from America and see things the same way. It's not even considered political, but it very much is.
It is downright disgusting. And in the case of CNN, it leaves traditional viewers disoriented and dismayed seeing this lurch towards the GOP. And in the run up to 2024!
MSNBC is my new home.

Check your CNN employee roster, boys. Brianna Keilar and Jim Acosta are both still working at CNN.
But they are less seen on the newsroom.
Brianna hosts in the afternoons while Jim anchors on the weekends. Not all timeslots are viewer magnets, are they? Still, that is far from being fired.
The trouble is that at the moment, moving more to the centre equates to cutting back on fact checking.
Being on the left or on the right means ignoring facts. 🤷🏻♂️
No, moving more to the center should mean more fact checking on the left. Fact check everything and everyone.
Man your videos just keep getting better and better
There is no thing as "Neutral" news, you can make low-bias news, but neutrality requires being outside the very system you are analysing.
I mean, even AI is biased so you can't expect humans not to be
No, there can be neutral news, TLDR is a great example of it.
Based on the fact that among his viewers there are both people who disdain CNN for being far left echo chamber and for daring to once invite Trump, TLDR is reasonable job at not being specially biased.
@@dragos1239AI doesn’t think nor have opinions, so this is irrelevant.
Its is NEVER possible to have unbiased neutral news. Even if you are outside the system you are going to have your own beliefs which may make inclined toward a side.
All I ask of a news outlet is that they tell me what they see, not their interpretations of what they see.
I was a big viewer of CNN years ago. After it stopped reporting impartially, I switched CNN off.
I turned off flippant TV ages ago. Who can stomach so much garbag*?
I sometimes forget cable new still exists. It seems like a very inefficient model to force round the clock news now that we have the internet.
“This is CNN news. We’re shutting down!” That will be the best news from CNN and the only news I would tune in to it.

I lost respect for CNN when they had that absolutely disgraceful town hall. It was Anderson Cooper's words that keep me from ever wanting to go back. I did not appreciate being told that I have a silo problem instead that they have a cash flow and boss problem. This was the day I turned my back for good on them! If Cooper had not said that stupid crap I may have gone back, but those words were a bridge too far blaming the viewers for their ridiculous programming choices. They successfully managed to alienate all the viewers who became accustomed to their broadcasting style, and send them packing. I removed them from my viewing list on youtube and will not watch their programming anymore they can blame someone else for their failings and shortcomings!
I juust DROPPED my cable box.
All I need is high speed internet and I'm good.
Why are news companies shaking hands with politicians??? That's the core of the problem! I'm sure our founders expected news to be independent.
Very true.
I remember when Sean Hannity literally came on stage at a Trump Rally and gave a speech like that's a normal thing for a "journalist" to do.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Hannity doesn't pretend to be a journalist
@@DMS-pq8 Fair enough but still, it's not great. Like you are propaganda at that point. You are Party propaganda, you're Pravda.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat As long as he doesn't claim to be a journalist and makes it very clear he has a side than its okay, The true danger are people who claim to be independent journalist who are in reality activist who only present the news in ways that help their side and hurt the other side
Insane how much traditional news viewership dropped after Trump left office. It's not just the fault of traditional news media - we were all addicted to the outrage. I'm encouraged that most of my friends and I are sick of it and hungry for centrism, facts, and cross-aisle collaboration.
outrage ?

Ah, so now that the far left has achieved power by crushing people's skulls (Officer Dorn) and dominating the public square during the CHOP/CHAZ Summer of Love, you're sick of it and hungry for centrism and cross aisle collaboration?
over the aisle? With whom? MTG? Boobert? Mitch McTurtle?
Who noticed the different t-shirt and glasses near the end? 🤣 can’t help but think that he was made to record this as soon as he woke up, I mean right beside his bed, and then given a few minutes to then change his clothes, wash his face and find his glasses.
In Vietnam, first time in over a month I turned on my TV again and CNN disappear from the list of channel and I am glad. Not sure if its a global trend or only here. Occationally whenever I watch news on TV, only DW but never CNN
Who else finds it difficult to remember the last CNN segment that was not politically connected in someway or another?
As a long time hater of CNN, my best wishes.
That's the correct path for humanity.
"Hate" is a strong word.. Why do you hate this particular news network? Is there a network you "love".? .Fox, for example?
@@daydays12 Fox is controlled opposition, ALL mainstream news media is garbage, and I too hate CNN
To paraphrase Mocha Jesus: "You're on the right side of history."
When your credit rating is "C"
You definitely coming to an "End" "End"
I'm 66 years old and even I get it; why waste money on cable? I killed mine 5 1/2 years ago. That's a little more that $13,000 that i saved over the years.
Warner Discover doesn’t own MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon or The CW. Viacom owns MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon. CW is 75% owned by nexstar
CNN was my news source for decades. The key word is 'was'!
Can’t stand the obvious bias in all mainstream media. How they keep any viewers is beyond me.🤷🏽♂
CNN stop being news source after Ted Turner sold it. All cable "News" is entertainment
At 18:28 you Edited out The Remaining and Replaced it......What was the original Ending segment ? What was said that had to be Replaced, and why did you not have your guy wear the same clothes so the Edit was less Obvious? Thanks for your Breakdown of this most Complicated CRITICAL isssue.
"News You Can Use!!!". Facts, Truth Honesty and JUSTICE MATTER!!!"
Imagine, as a so called "news" station not shoving your opinions down everyone's throats and actually just reporting the news from as neutral position...you know, like in the good old days.
Imagine thinking unbiased news ever existed 😂
@@LyricsFred The newspapers and reporters have always been biased.
@@morkthenonelib thats what im saying. There is no “good ol days”. Its always like this.
@@LyricsFred You can go back to the 1800s and see the biased reporting easily. You would think the media would try to hide this if they do not want fix this.
But in reality the media just doesnt care they just openly slam anyone that is not in agreement with them.
The sad part is the way people do not see this.
As opposed to the 60's, 70's, 80's (before 24/7 BS), what we have now is blatant lying and gaslighting, as opposed to having just a very small degree of slanted nonsense b4 24/7 vomit-fest, even you can see that right? 😆 @@LyricsFred
So they alienated the viewers they had for viewers they didn't have?
and are never going to get
Essentially..!
Yes
Yup, they budlighted themselves.
@@williamdavis9562 by the way, Kid Rock was caught sneaking sips of Bud Light. Hypocrisy is everywhere.
WBD hold the copyright on NEARLY EVERYTHING right now. Don't underestimate thier longevity based on the residuals alone! and how many brands / properties they could auction off
One inaccuracy ive noticed is that you put Nickelodeon as owned by Warner when it is owned by Paramount. Still this is a great video!
I find it funny how one news channel is slagging off another and, indeed, the entire news industry 😂
Back in the day, they used to break up corporations that obtain too much control/power, but since our own government is guilty of the offense, it’s business as usual.
These TRUSTS are ridiculous.
We used to break these before they were 25% of their current size...
I stopped watching CNN after the Townhall (aka Orange Clown Rally). It was a perfect opportunity to cut the cable cord and to unsubscribe CNN channel in RUclips. I am very happy with my decision.
As an external observed, it looks more to me like the American Right has moved further to the right and CNN has remained exactly where it was issue-wise instead of CNN moving left. A shifting of the Overton Window.
The right has moved further to the right. However CNN didn't stay where it was. Starting in 2015 there was a notable and significant leftward shift
@kylejacobson9587 The question is a shift starting from where on the right left range? As an European I can tell you CNN feels very much right in the center right now. So maybe it started out center-right I don't know. Of course many of the concepts that are deemed "radical left" in the US, like universal health care and gun laws are a staple of our system and are not considered left leaning at all, so maybe that's why it puzzles me. Just saying that to us your left/right scale seems all skewed right.
@@JohnDowson100 Left-Right is only a useful description within a country, and looses meaning the further you zoom out, the less comparable it gets.
The American left is to the right of the European center on a variety of issues, such as the ones you listed. However there are areas where Europe is more right wing. For example, the Northern European states are generally recognized as regulating business less than the US. Also the American left is significantly to the left of Europe's left, generally, on issues of race, immigration, LGBTQ issues, and abortion(although, outside of Central Europe, the American right is likewise to the right of the right of most of Europe, there doesn't exist much middle on those issues)

@kylejacobson9587 There are a few issues like this, you are right 😀 just saying overall CNN doesn't feel left leaning at all to us, it feel even center right on many issues. It looks a bit like the meme of the KKK murderous crowd facing the equal rights protesters with the guy in the center weaving the "compromise?" sign.
Time-Warner divested MTV, Nickelodeon and VH1 around 1984. By the 1995 Turner merger those networks belonged to Viacom (Now Paramount Global).
Wouldn't be a TLDR video if they didn't screw up somewhere...
Time Warner was known as Warner-Annex.
There’s a couple mistakes in this video. First, Nickelodeon, VH1, and MTV are Viacom, Now Paramount Global properties along with Comedy Central and BET. They’ve never been a part of WBD. Also Brianna Keilar still works at CNN as one of the anchors of the afternoon edition of News Central, though her old show was canceled. Jim Acosta also still works at CNN and holds the same timeslot he did prior to the WBD Merger. These mistakes don’t fundamentally change the story, but they’re pretty sloppy considering they could have been fixed by a simple visit to corporate pages for WBD and CNN.
I am American and stopped watching CNN years ago when I saw some kind of meeting on air. What I now remember about it was that Christian’s Amanpour?(sp) who was talking to the people, she said that they needed to do everything possible to defeat the republican candidate. She was not even American and I had liked her as a reporter. I turned it off then and have not turned it on since. I was not a republican but I wanted to hear both sides fairly. I was so disappointed in her. I had really enjoyed her reporting.
The news used to be delivered with a clock on the wall and an unattractive man behind a big micreiphone . But you got the news. Today the studio looks like a movie set with glamorous women and an occasional man, all very smily face and full of laughter. They are more important than the news or the BS they are reading.
A news channel that actually reported news is an extremely radical idea I know but it might just work.
You don't make any money teaching people. How do you make money doing that?
You make money by CONTROLLING people.
News shouldn't be left or right regardless of the extreme, thats why i only use local RUclipsrs in the area in which i seek the news
And there is the reason I do not watch CNN anymore.
I wouldn't call the BBC "one of the most trusted new sources". I pretty much stopped trusting the BBC after the whole "PewDiePie is Nazi" news story they ran with.
They're statistically correct. Just because you don't trust it, doesn't mean it isn't the most trusted news source by others.
@@JamesRoyceDawson The PewDiePie Nazi "story" was a hit piece, regardless of statistics, any outlet running fabricated hit pieces isn't to be fully trusted. This would go for TLDR as well. If they randomly did a hit piece, I wouldn't trust them anywhere near as much.
@JamesRoyceDawson
Since when was PewDiePie ever a Nazii?
@@echidnanatsuki882 I'm not talking about that. I'm saying the statistical fact that people besides you consider BBC to be the most trusted source for news. That doesn't mean they trust everything they say or that everything they say needs to be correct. It's just stating that out of the news sources we have to compare, BBC comes out on top for at least a plurality of people.
@@echidnanatsuki882Trusted and trustworthy are two different things.
They need to start covering the news.
Broadcast TV news are quickly becoming a thing of the past. A relic like black and white TVs
The tenets of journalism have not been followed for years: objective reporting, answering the who, what, where and why - objectively. The divisive nature of right VS left has muddied the waters for clear, honest reporting.
The Town Hall was great. The only problem with it was Kaitlan kept debating Trump.
All news is politicized, even if it is presented without "opinion." The choice of topics, the airtime of topics, and the sources chosen are all political choices. It's a mistake to think that opinionless news is apolitical.
Yes but less so
Great clip but one big error by including MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon into Warner Media. They were the core of Viacom, which is now Paramount.
Close them down. They are not trusted
I'm sure someone has mentioned this by now, but Warner Bros. doesn't own MTV, VH1, or Nickelodeon.
The logo lock-up used in the video depicting the different brands owned by Warner Bros. Is inaccurate. It includes MTV, VH1, and Nickelodeon, which are not brands owned by Warner Bros.
Although Warner Bros. helped start All three networks, Paramount purchase MTV and Nickelodeon from Warner Bros. in 1985 and 1990, respectively. I'm not sure when Paramount acquired VH1, but it was most likely included with the MTV acquisition.
Also, Fandango owns Rotten Tomatoes, which is owned by Comcast. Warner Bros. maintains a minority ownership stake in Rotten Tomatoes.
Thank you, I thought I had missed the sale of MTV Networks to Warner.
The main problem is that cable has become sort of semi-obsolete, like radio before it. Sure, it will never 100% disappear, but it’s glory days are long over. Cable might be able to reinvent itself with services like twitch, but that’s about it. They will have to continue to do some cuts, as the competition between twitter, RUclips and to some extent twitch for information content is very high
Twitter, RUclips, and Facebook are already dinosaurs. If you're on a site that censors content, you're looking at propaganda, not information.
They need to stay just left of the center.
All we ask of the news is the truth, the absolute truth and that’s it. No personal opinions just the truth.
Journalusm is also about values and principles. Media are rightfully called guard dogs of democracy. Politics is about opinions, and critisizing politics leads to critisizing opinions, such as women rights, arms regulations, or any kind of Trumpian madness. Pure facts are in physics. In real world, journalism has to have some values and principles.
i just have to hand it to the editor/(s) during 13:35 to 13:41, genuinely great work on making the reflections on the bottle on the table mimic the TV (its more noticeable during the switch to static)
A "declining force in a shrinking market". The statement one hopes they will never have to hear. 💀💀💀💀
imagine if CNN reported on actual news...
Wait, you pay for cable and still get ads?
One thing about FOX that I think is overlooked is that they still allow and encourage viewer comments. All the big news agencies phased comments out years ago. Why would a news organization fear viewer comments ?? It's a big question. Do they fear something ?? Might viewers have different opinions from theirs ?? Hmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
In Blue Church orthodoxy, right wing free speech is violence. Left wing violence is free speech. Look into the cultural Marxist concept of "Repressive Tolerance." Know that both Obama and Hillary Clinton are fans of Saul Alinsky.
Cause comment boards would get drowned out by right wing trolls. Not a problem if you are fox.
it is a 2 ways street these days. The media want us in extremes as the middle ground is where understanding and reason lie, and that is bad for business. @@klaymatic3751
@@klaymatic3751 A right wing troll is anyone who cites facts, events, and data that disproves progressive. Censorship is mandatory to maintain big lies.
Correction: VH1, MTV and Nickelodeon or NOT owned by WarnerMedia. They are owned by Viacom, now known as Paramount Global (Paramount Pictures). Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Fandango, which is just a JV between WarnerMedia and Comcast.
What's more, Paramount Global also owns CBS.
I didn't realize that Verizon was a cable company.
One of the problems is the use of announcers with accents heavy enough to not be understood by persons with minor hearing difficulties. It doesn't take much, and it's more than annoying.
