Why CNN is in Major Trouble

[@Chaoticbaldur]

If CNN actually wanted, "News News," as they say they do, there's no need to court political interests on either side. All you have to do is present factual and unbiased information. The problem is that the attempts to return to 'The Center' aren't actually driven by journalistic integrity, they're driven by a desire for a wider consumer audience and higher ratings and people on *both sides* of the spectrum know pandering like this when they see it.

[@AaronOkeanos]

Excellent point the problem of bringing more viewership together with unbiased informations. Therein lies the problem because the truth is in 9 of 10 times something you will not like. Which brings up the real question: Is the profit-motive compatible with the news-sector?

[@useodyseeorbitchute9450]

​@@AaronOkeanos "Is the profit-motive compatible with the news-sector?" Comparing to what? I'm watching how after each election in my country tax funded TV is having management replaced, for the one that shares views of newly elected government. I also watched how a few foreign "independent" news channels, were a very expensive way of expressing strong bias of local unelected establishment. There is a different problem with not for profit system - assuming that quality is high, people should willing to pay for such content and it should be self financing, possibly profitable. If you have to force them to pay, then you most likely know the answer concerning value for money.

If centrism is the inability to criticise one or even both sides failings, that isn't serious journalism, it is pandering. Neutrality is to tell anybody when they fucked up. Serious journalism is to discover that investigatively, not just report on it when others do. The ultimate goal of journalism is to check the work of the politicians so that their actual achievements and failures are known to the voting public. Well that, and similar things in non-politics news segments.

[@Qwicksilver]

I agree and I think that this video conflates two aspects of CNN’s attempted shift. On one hand, they tried (or at least said they would try) to focus more on fact-based reporting rather than featuring tons of opinion content or constantly bashing Trump. On the other, they tried to capture right leaning tv watchers by firing more prominent trump critics and making content they thought those watchers would like. Those two goals aren’t the same. One aims to focus on featuring the most important stories in a straight analysis-free manner. The other panders to a viewing demographic.

It would be like if an Oakland TV station brought back every story to how it affects the Raiders footballl team. If they talked about how an apartment fire was going to cause the team to be sad, and underperform in next week's game. How the increase in drug use was focused around weekdays, because obviously people enjoy watching the Raiders more than shooting up. How the increase in new housing construction was a boon for the team as it would add fans. Like, we just want the info, not the unrelated analysis of how it will help a (political) sportsbal team.

[@spewter]

Let’s be real. CNN is NOT failing because the audience is media literate and therefore reject its superficial reporting. The audience in general are more partisan and thirst for outrage and sensationalism. CNN doesn’t know how to serve this audience. And because it’s a corporate oil tanker, it cannot change direction. It cannot adapt. It lacks agility. Big money, big names, big debts, and no one is willing to make changes for fear of affecting the share price. Too big to succeed

There’s nothing wrong with opinion programming as long as you can differentiate the between news and opinion. CNN as well as most establishment media has failed to do that. That’s why they’ve lost credibility and podcast and independent journalism has flourished.

[@_Itchy_Bones_]

All news is opinions even if you think it looks nicer and sounds nicer or is less abrasive than the traditional media it is still opinions. Your opinion can change which aspects of a topic that are reported which can completely change a news story. Go read a news article on something that you're an expert in from a source that you claim to trust and tell me that it's not an opinion

[@peterclarke7240]

You're confusing opinions with bias. All news is biased, although some agencies try harder than others to reduce the impact of that bias. News, however, is not opinion. Opinion requires no verification or fact-checking, whereas news does. It's why Fox is so dangerous, because it presents it's opinions in a news format, and never explicitly state that it isn't news (except when threatened with lawsuits) so people think their opinions are true.

[@hawkname1234]

No. They've lost credibility because malevolent bad-faith actors have organized and worked hard to discredit them. You know what else has "lost credibility" the same way in these years? Teachers, fact-checkers, doctors and literal fucking **science.**

[@martinschlegel1823]

That’s one of the biggest problems I see with US journalism today. The first newspaper I read regularly had an opinion section clearly marked and on separate pages. Obviously no journalism is completely pure news without any opinion, even just selecting which stories to report is an inherently biased thing. But they tried their best to report as neutrally as possible on the news, didn’t use biased words there etc.

[@luvkayakn]

The difference with the "cable news" networks is 100% of their programming is political opinion. The 3 prime networks have "news" segments at specific time slots, with talk shows, game shows, and varieties of drama and comedy genres. News papers certainly have political party leanings, but they also have straightforward reporting in sports and lifestyle interests topics. The cable guys are just lying by calling themselves "news".

Yes, but that's a big problem. You know why? Because we'll be getting our news from who knows where? At least with news networks you could know who owns them. Do you know who owns any YT channel? Who is giving money to content creators? In some cases yes, but not all. Then, Bob the KZbinr won't be getting press credentials at the White House, so he's unlikely to have access to get interviews with presidents and prime-ministers. Last, but not least, probably the biggest problem: bubbles. Online is a medium that favours the creation of bubbles. We will never see what news other sides are getting in their bubble and it has happened to me to see someone comment: what about X? And I would be thinking... WTF is X? What are you talking about? The general public needs a baseline of common information/knowledge to have a functional debate across party lines. Otherwise, considering the bubbles, we'll look at one another like we're crazy, not knowing what the other side knows. Division is deeper when this common foundation doesn't exist and for all their faults, cable news media could provide that. Online media, like YT channels, can't really do that. There are big KZbinrs that I've never, ever heard of, channels with millions of followers, but being outside of my bubble, I wouldn't know. And the same goes for everyone. The internet and social media are too disjointed and decentralized to get a complete picture.

Most politicians only become millionaires after becoming politicians, thus become plugged into a political machine that many Americans endearingly refer to as "The Swamp". You came up with a bad regurgitated excuse for why someone you don't like is bad instead of listing something they actually did. Trump did address the pandemic through organizing the vaccines and recommending hydroxychloroquine and organizing efforts to manufacture domestic medical supplies for use during the pandemic. I worked in 2020 building hazmat and ventilator packs under the Trump initiative while the US outbid other countries for critically needed medical supplies after China went into lockdown. There is evidence China may have had their leak as early as August of 2019 and were intentionally flying individuals with COVID around the world thus spreading the virus. The first cities in the US to get COVID were New York, LA, and Seattle who refused to shut down initially. In Seattle they knew of a mystery illness and did not report it to the CDC, thus spreading the virus. Leftist mainstream media also confused how to safeguard against COVID all through the Summer of 2020 for months with nonsensical recommendations such as wearing multiple masks that led to people passing out from lack of oxygen, which causes brain damage and lying about the lethality of the virus while simultaneously promoting people go out into the streets of cities to riot, thus spreading the disease. COVID reached the state of Georgia after an African American family from Atlanta had a huge funeral with hundreds of people and many infected people then spread the virus. Democrats did a lot to spread COVID and make the pandemic far worse than it had to be for years including laying off essential workers and military personnel while violating human rights and Constitutional rights. Containing a pandemic risks isolating the disease and creating new variants, meaning the Democrats made the disease mutate through lockdowns. Many Americans didn't die of COVID but died from lockdowns and isolation, became homeless, and mental illness and drug abuse skyrocketed as did violence and crime. CNN was continuously looping overinflated COVID statistics and Trump rallies back-to-back and repeating "you should be afraid" before the election. The Democrats spent $14 billion calling Trump and Republicans racists through propaganda. In Detroit we had literal billboards calling Trump a racist and racial advertising targeting specific voting demographics.

As someone who just left CNN’s employment after 22 years and 8 months I have to say this was a pretty good summary. It doesn’t help that the company is spending money like it did years ago, or that the parent company (what was once called Discovery) is a scripted entertainment content company who has no clue what to do with a news network. CNN is the biggest ‘oddball’ in the slate of companies WBD owns. But between the U.S. election and Olympics and all the potential ad revenue coming in, WBD is unlikely to try and ‘fix’ or even sell CNN until after the presidential inauguration in late January 2025. But you’d better believe they’ll drop it like it’s hot after that. The next question is where does it go? Sold to another media company? Disney has problems and ABC which has its own impressive news org. Comcast has NBC and its impressive new organization. Paramount has CBS with a good but not great new organization so that’s a possibility as CNN would help their larger organization. Or maybe someone unrelated - there’s a grocery billionaire in the US northeast who’s shown some interest. Or maybe a Saudi Prince or some Chinese billionaire - but those would likely not fly with the U.S. gov’t for several reasons. So I’d bet on CBS/Paramount myself. Shame its come to this though. I worked there for over 22 years and loved the people and the work… but the constant changes in ownership and management and layoffs made a huge dent in morale. :’(😂
