what a swift repartee!

Funny when the "champaign set" talks about "reality ".

what a swift repartee!

Prove it wrong if you are so swift

Prove it wrong if you are so swift

Your statement was correct. CNN viewers have a good grasp on reality while the Fox viewers are delusional. As such their perceptions of reality are indeed different.

At the 2022 mid-term election perception of reality of voters
could turn out to be different from the Democrats'.

Neither Fox nor CNN can claim to be non partisan
if Fox viewers are delusional (as you describe) then so are CNN viewers are delusional

Don Lemon or chris cuomo are no more trustworthy to provide unbiased reporting than is Tucker Carleson

if you buy the drival CNN spreads as gospel then you do not have a good grasp on reality
Similarly one needs to retain some skepticism when watching Fox news

Remember Fox News called Arizona for Biden in the 2020 election. That's the only real reporting it has done in its existence.

It's mostly old people watching TV. What's Fox's average viewing age, 75?

Bill Maher's show is even medieval at this point.

so you start a thread about an old guy (Obama) attacking a TV cable news program
however when shown that TV cable news program is beating its competition (specifically CNN) , your response is "It's mostly old people watching TV." ?????

If you need to backtrack like that, perhaps you may have saved yourself the embarrassment by thinking a bit before you post biased stories non stop , 24 X 7

BTW , Old people
They pay a lot of taxes
They have paid a lot of taxes
They currently represent 32% of the US population (50+) and this number will grow
Old people vote too. 32% is defiantly enough to determine an election outcome
They have provided you with a multitude of innovations which make your life easier. safer and better over-all
They deserve your respect

A young bull and an old bull are standing on top of a hill looking down on a herd of cows
The young bull says to the old bull: "lets run down that hill and fuck us a couple of them there cows"
The old bull responds" No, lets walk down there and fuck all of them"

You're totally missing the point lol.
Most of the viewers have migrated and are not coming back.

One of Bill Maher's recent rants was a "Get off my lawn" moment because he doesn't realize that his show is not going to be around in a few years, same with others like his.

The younger generation is tired of the old ways....

Who even has a tv now?

I got one that doesn't work properly. I probably won't ever replace it.

So CNN should probably shut it down then
no sense being third in a three horse race for a dwindling (as you describe it) market

Odd how one can still view these news programs on the internet
odd how this graph indicates an upward trend in viewership

So you watched him then... interesting
And you are able to predict the demise of his show, but figure Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo will still be promoting left wing ideology as news for a long time?

The younger generation is tired of the old ways....

That phrase has been repeated for every new generation
odd how many hippies stopped taking LSD , cut their hair and go to Starbucks every morning before going into the office
Now instead of talking about a revolution, they are more likely to say "WTF is wrong with the younger generation these days"

it is remarkable how the assumption of responsibility (e.g. raising a family) changes a persons outlook
it is called maturity....... try it

 

[Valcazar]

odd how this graph indicates an upward trend in viewership

Odd how that seems to show only until the inauguration where people were worried it might not happen after which people didn't need to watch the news so obsessively anymore.
Have the numbers stayed on that upward trend?

Fox News Viewership Plummets: First Time Behind CNN And MSNBC In Two Decades

While Fox News has dominated cable news for the better part of 20 years, it has also been the most-watched basic cable network for the past five years, with its highest ratingsever in 2020.
Yet Fox's ratings have dipped since Election Day, with average viewership reportedly down approximately 20%compared to pre-November levels.
Over the first full week of 2021 (Jan. 4 through Jan. 10), CNN ranked first among cable networks (roughly 2.8 million viewers per day; 4.2 million in primetime) followed by MSNBC (2.3 million per day ;3.8 million in primetime) and Fox News in third (1.7 million per day; 3.2 million in primetime).
Over the first two weeks of 2021, Fox averaged nearly 800,000 fewer total day viewers than MSNBC, and around 1 million fewer than CNN, according to Mediate, and every day since Jan. 4, Fox has trailed both MSNBC and CNN in the crucial age 25-54 demographic.
Jan. 6, the day the U.S Capitol was ransacked, was CNN's most-watched day in the network's history, and in primetime that evening, CNN averaged 8.2 million viewers, nearly double the viewership of Fox News (4.6 million).

CNN moves to No. 1, Fox drops in post-election ratings shake-up: Will it last?

President Trump's defeat and right-wing competitors likely influenced Fox's post-election ratings drop, but will it only be temporary?

I guess that the majority of Americans have now finally realized who is the real fake news and have jumped ship!!

My generation barely watches TV, and I don't have CNN nor do I know much about the program these days.

The younger generation is more educated and has a wider selection of media available to choose from.

I do watch snippets of Maher online sometimes, but it's starting to get stale.

Can you find me any info to show that old media is attracting new viewers to replace all the dying ones? Just like how right wing parties are not attracting many young voters...
