Interesting side effect.

I don't partake of these television news networks, but whereas for at least 16 years I've been visiting CNN.com a few times (at least once) per day every day, I have broken myself of that habit and have probably visited only 3 times in 5 weeks for a total of a minute. I just don't have any desire to get any news or read any articles from them or give any ad revenue to them.

Just like elections, liberals only show up once every four years and even then sometimes they stay home. I remember Obama spent the most of his advertising on Two Broke Girls.

You can only double down so many times before even the most hardcore believer jumps ship.

According to Neilson research, in the 25-54 year-old demographic, an indicator that advertisers look for most, FOX is also beating CNN and MSNBC combined.

Last night, when the Trump rally was carried in full by Fox News, CNN had some kind of documentary or TV show on. I think Trump made a mistake. He should have announced all his picks during the rallies (one or two per rally). Then they would have been forced to cover it in full or be scooped by FNC.

I have seen some clips though. There's one guy... the one who warned us that it was illegal for us to possess these Wikileaks files so we must depend upon CNN to interpret them for us, and who another time mentioned they couldn't have done any more to help Hillary, and who presided over several abrubt satellite uplink outages at peculiarly unfortunate times during interviews...

And the blonde woman named Brooke who asked the guy to "fact check" Hillary and staff destroying 9 Blackberries and 5 iPads and was stunned when it was confirmed, and who another time stated that Congresspeople already have term limits...

CNN is total BS. Yes, America sees that.

They are my preferred channel during the primaries. Too many Bush people and Never Trumpers work for FNC. I switch back when the primaries are over. They are also really good on Election Night, sad faces aside. John King at the map is very informative. I look forward to seeing him on Election night.

That was awesome when CNN said they had to interpret the emails for us. I was fully expecting them to say it was all spam. You know, Podesta could add 5 inches down there and whatnot.
