Tucker Carlson recently remarked that talking heads on TV news networks are the least self-reflective people on the planet. And he’s right! When their ratings continue to plummet, they never look in the mirror and try to figure out if maybe they are the problem. They’re always looking for a scapegoat.
And their scapegoat du jour has been podcaster Joe Rogan. CNN now has an all-time record-low viewership, so they’ve decided that this must be the fault of Rogan – a podcaster who smokes weed and talks about UFOs on half of his shows.
It is a pretty sad state of affairs when Rogan’s audience is four times higher (or more) than most cable news shows, but what does the media expect? When they are continually caught making stories up out of thin air, that tends to make them lose a bit of credibility.
If CNN continues on its current trajectory, its planned streaming service is the only format in which the station will continue to exist. You won’t even have to watch them in airport waiting rooms. Not that this is a bad thing!
CNN…….”CRAP NOT NEWS” !! Enough said !!
