Whether CNN can provide same long enough to stabilize on another course is kind of up in the air.
There is a market for weird lefty stuff and if CNN stops providing it, making it up by getting some folks from Fox or Epoch or whichever isn’t going to fill the void.

Trouble is, I cut off all cable/satelliteTV inputs some years ago, just watch DVDs rarely. refer to read, right now a 2-vol. bio of ex-Pope Benedict XV by Seewald, now Joseph Ratzinger again. A most brilliant man. Of course, it helps to be of Roman Catholic faith despite the sitting Pope Francis, the first from Latin America and its “Liberation theology”. Fortunately Popes are deemed infallible only on matters of faith and morals.

I’ve heard that John Malone is large and in-charge at CNN now, and he’s a pretty staunch conservative that has stated that he is returning it to its news roots. I don’t imagine he wants to lose the remaining tiny fraction of viewership, so perhaps he’s conducting it in phases. But the sea change is apparently due to his vision.

I’ve also heard the thought expressed that re-enabling dissenting views about election results is simply hedging bets in the event that a Republican wins, in which case it could only be due to fraud.

I agree about Musk and Twitter, but actually we really need at least 3 to 12 such objective and relatively neutral media sources. Competition is supposed to help keep them ALL honest. Some blogs and substacks may help fill this void, but they usually also have a (recognized) political bias or orientation.

And from a business revenue standpoint, I suspect Musk would be happy to “broadcast” them all.

TDS is also distorting a lot of people’s outlook and info source selection [that is both pro and con on Trump].

I gave it a whirl and I agree: quite good. There’s a right-leaning bias baked in, so I really can’t recommend it to some people, butcha know what? — they won’t care to give it a hearing / viewing anyway.

Blanket recommendation: watch things like this at speed = 1.25×. (I’ve even tried 1.50× for some videos, but that doesn’t work for speakers who already talk a little quickly. On another hand, 1.50× works wonderfully for people like Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA).)

EDIT: Oh. It looks like neo offered a similar recommendation on another blog post she published today.

You can watch it for free for the next 24 hours or so. It’s quite good so far.
