    It was inevitable really .
    CNN basically shot themselves in the foot .

    Which is why they're trying to replace him with the likes of Tucker Carlson.

    They could try acting like a news network rather than the steaming poo pile operation that they currently have going on

    No CNN. I was replying to a poster who commented on their dwindling viewer ratings.
    Gutter journalism. Actually I wouldn't even call it journalism. Biased opinion would be more appropriate

    All media carries an inherent bias.
    Part of being a competent adult and politically interested and informed person is taking that information and separating the fact from the commentary.
    It's part and parcel of forming an opinion, making sure that one understands both the facts of the matter, and their own interpretive bias as well as the bias of those sharing that info in the 1st place.

    What media do you consume that isn't biased?
    Where is this font of unbiased and solely factual news?

    The associated press, Reuters and a little financial times.

    It's actually real news. You would have seen CNN reporting some "breaking news " with a big headline banner about Trump. Jump onto the above mentioned news organisation sites and the same story wouldn't exist or you get the real non hyped up version.

    Garbage organisation a d their recent viewing ratings show this.

    Car chases and crashes are televised and gain viewership so it stands to reason that when the car crash that is the trump presidency is no longer providing content that the viewership would decline, not just because it fits your Cognative Bias

    Maybe we just consume a different level of current affairs.

    You might tune in to watch a car chase while I will look for news about the federal reserve for example.

    Wow there must have a car crash that went on for a good few months or something that somehow caused you to miss Biden's detailed Covid plan that was detailed on every news channel and that you believed didn't exist.

    Yes. And I've demonstrated that you don't actually watch the news at all.

    John Oliver tended to go in depth into loads of different topics even during the Trump administration. So if anything, he has freedom to go back to focusing more on other topics.

    To be fair, this also means you didn't watch the car crash of a presidency that existed before Joe Biden, so you can't really comment on much politics (unless your frame of reference is Obama and Bush?)

    The poster was referring to literal car chases on his chosen news platform.

    I dont see how not watching literal car chases and possibly crashes covered by news networks has anything to do with my knowledge of the Trump presidency and the coverage it received.

    Two different things.

    Well you obviously weren't watch any news about American politics around the time of the 2020 election.

    I certainly don't personally watch them, the Trump administration lurched from 'car crash' to 'car crash' so the analogy is extremely fitting that once these car crashes ceased with the Biden administration it stood to reason that viewerships would decrease

    Yes an analogy. I understand that but seems to have been blurred along the way as you were posting about news networks covering literal car chases and the sometimes inevitable car crash.

    The Trump presidency was the gold rush for CNN. Now that he is gone their figures have dwindled.

    All of a sudden focusing on Tucker just proves how the network needs a "bad guy" to report around the clock on. Very poor organisation. They survive on divisive one sided reporting and basically gutter journalism.

    They are no addition.

    Il stick to Reuters, the associated press and a little of the financial times.
