would you be OK with getting rid of all cable news stations? (Obama, solution)

it seems the main purpose of them is to create sensationalism so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea.


maybe make the only one that exists is CSPAN which I believe is just reporting on actual events going on at the exact time

It doesn't even matter anymore with the Internet.

There's a good 50% of people on this board who obviously gave up reading and watching legitimate sources of news years ago.

I am not saying that Cable News Channels are the best sources to get your news from....but
there is a little tiny thing called the first amendment to the Constitution that should make any Americans ashamed
at suggesting any news source should be shut down...it also violates the general thought and rule of Capitalism
where people can run and operate businesses.

It's sad that a Free Press and Media Source is so offensive to some.
If you don't like it, don't watch it.
How is that for a radical idea?

Same here. I don't even watch the local news channels.

If they actually reported the news and not their opinion of what was actually said or done it may be a different story. They beat a topic to death with their opinions.

Look at the key demographics on all television, including all cable, it's folks over 40, mostly geriatric viewers. Under 40 people watch youtube, and go to various news websites like cbs.com, infowars.com, msnbc.com. Young folks get more news from Comedy Central than from any news or large media network.

Television is facing a shift in it's viewership, they are dying, thus ratings are down. How many sit and watch an evening of television anymore?

So now, if the news is not cheerleading Trump, they all need to go? This new level of censorship sure is getting interesting.

I cut the cord and canceled cable (satellite) more than 5 years ago. Haven't missed them at all. Put up an antenna for local TV and get the rest off Amazon, Netflix & Hulu.

I recommend that you do the same.

[ottomobeale]

No. Change the channel.
Why not include the web then. Going to ban Red State and HuffPo?

The news just hasn't been soothing to Trumplings. They're responsible for putting a complete fool in the WH and they hate to hear about it daily.

If cable news upsets you, just cancel your cable TV service.

It's up to you.
