    I’ve been seeing stories about how CNN might revert to reporting just hard news which means the talking heads might get tossed out.

    It may be a smart move if they want credibility back and to lose massive overhead that is producing crap results.

    Yeah... it's mind blowing that these people exist. I always wonder how high they were as a kid when they were dropped on their heads.

    Going back to how they started and regaining some semblance of credibility would be awesome. But they wouod have to fire a lot of people.

    Practically speaking, I don't know how they would do that. Most of their programing now is moronic talking heads, which are easy to add or fire, but real news has to be developed, and I doubt CNN still has the resources to produce enough actual news to fill the time available.

    Who they are owned by is irrelevant.
    They are in the same market spiining events of the day as they seem fit to cater to their audience.
    Surely you know they spin stories to cater to an audience so they can sell advertising? You have to know that.

    I don't care if CNN is making money or not or if fox or those others make money or not. I really wish all "Useful Idiots", your term, would stop watching and believing the lies they all promote.
    Do you on see that on purpose? Do you see they are in the same market? Or purposely ignore that?

    How you constantly miss the point is amazing. Their ownership absolute is the point. How they don't answer to market failure is the point.

    He wrote the foreword to
    "A Prosecutor’s Guide for Advancing Racial Equity"

    PRJguide2.indd (state.co.us)
    "They need to take the same clear-eyed approach to the problem of disparate racial outcomes in the cases that come into their hands. Only by confronting the realities of their decisions and practices can prosecutors begin to rethink how to achieve equitable outcomes for all people involved in the criminal justice system."

    Like only $1000 bond because he is black, after being arrested for hitting his baby's mama with the same SUV

    Brooks is accused of running over the woman with his car while she was walking through a gas station parking lot, according to a criminal complaint.

    The market they peddle their product in is the point. How you constantly miss the point is amazing.

    You only make false claims that their higher owner wants to lose money. There's no business in the world that keeps a product going to lose money. Shareholders will never stand for it. They will sell their stock for profitable companies.
    The owner, shareholders, won't support a market failure. Capitalism 101.

    Detective: Parade horror was an 'intentional act to strike and hurt as many people as possible'
    Waukesha police detectives and witnesses of Sunday's Christmas parade attack said that Darrell Brooks tried to "strike and hurt as many people as possible" as he plowed through the crowd in a "zig zag driving pattern," according to a criminal complaint filed in the Waukesha County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

    "The vehicle took an abrupt left turn into the crowd of parade participants. At this point, it was clear to Officer Butryn that this was an intentional act to strike and hurt as many people as possible," Waukesha police Captain Tom Wagner wrote in the criminal complaint. "He observed the vehicle appeared to be intentionally moving side to side, striking multiple people, and bodies and objects were flying from the area of the vehicle."

    this was no accident this wasn't someone trying to flee from the police the thugs intent was to kill or hurt as many as possible

    every one we know so far that was killed or injured are white. was that part of the motive? or just a coincidence?
    the murderous thug is a BLM supporter, Trump, and cop hater so racism very easily could be this subhuman's motive
    but one thing for sure if the races were reversed the murder was white and everyone he killed or injured were black you wokesters would be screaming racist white supremist until you are blue in the face and riot's would be happening coast to coast

    CNN has permanently lost its credibility as far as I’m concerned. I don’t care if they change or not. They will always be fake news to me.

    that does not say what was said earlier was false, of course he actions were his own choice, he did not have to run over those people, he may of been fleeing, but that doesn't make it the cops fault

    At this point they should probably consider just playing music videos.

    His 12 year old brother is still fighting for his life.

    At the link, the vehicle has already struck several people before the story picks up below:
    BLM Activist on Waukesha: ‘It Sounds Like the Revolution Has Started.’

    Previously: “Back in the summer of 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, a federal agency, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, ruled that BLM was not political or partisan, and therefore federal employees could express support for the movement while on duty.”

    Darrell's bail is set at 5 mil. I give it good odds BLM will raise the money for it.

    a) there shouldn't be any bail since he did this while he was already out on bail.
    b) If there is a bail set, it should be tied to how many die. I would say 5 million per death. If the police shot an innocent person, the city would pay more than 5 million to the family. Whatever that number is, that should be the value for bail set when a person kills an innocent person. If they skip, then the family would get the money.

    It's too late. It'd be like closing the barn after the horses are out, got lost, died, and rotted away to dust. CNN has utterly and completely destroyed the reputation it once had. Nothing will ever undo the damage. Best case scenario now is that their many failures can serve as a warning to others.

    $5 Million is enough...
    He WON'T Raise it...
    And, totally LMAO at things like "BLM Will Raise his bail money"...

    Even that sort of suggestion is beyond absurd and laughable...

    You couldn't deal with reality much less my posts. Any so called questions you claim to have are figments of a fragile imagination. Mustering responses to nonsense is a waste of my time but still somewhat humorous.

    It turns out that Brooks had a long criminal history that included failure to appear and felony bail jumping.

    And they let him out on bail again. A mere $1000.

    WTF?
