Nanker Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It was on at the sushi restaurant we went to last Friday. No one was watching. No one was listening. The Chicken Noodle Network is vapid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank II Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Ever since the politics thread was closed and political talk permanently banned on saberspace I watch CNN every morning for comedic relief. Edited March 8, 2017 by Hank II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I have found elderly people do. My mother in law and my mother mostly watch CNN. I think my mom watches a lot of CBC news is well which is just as bad. Edited March 8, 2017 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I watch it a few times a week. It's helps me understand what the left is thinking and feeding their base and once in a while you'll get a decent story that right leaning outlets would choose not to cover.

Rockpile233 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Lol. Standing ovations for making logical moves? Only bills fans. I don't watch it on television, but go to both CNN and Fox's websites to see what each other is leaving out every day.

Benjamin Franklin Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I watch CNN if there is a true breaking news story (not the overused breaking news story but the real thing that happens about once ever 5-7 years). Who watches news for daily news? I haven't watched the news in decades.Has anyone under 50? Edited March 8, 2017 by Benjamin Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I used to work with had a watch that was also a TV remote. He'd go into bars and turn off their TV's with it. It was similar to this one... https://uedata.amazon.com/Casio-CMD40B-1Z-Technoware-Calculator-Remote/dp/B000GAWSAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) The median age during prime time of a Fox News viewer is 68. CNN is 59. MSNBC is 63. I've watched more cable news than usual last year, but none of them interest me as they're all painfully predictable. Fox News is the ultimate Republican propaganda machine and they do it SO well, CNN tries to hide their liberal slant by hiring Trump surrogates (Lewandowski, Jeffrey Lord) but they're not fooling anybody, and MSNBC is like a FOX wanna be for the left. There are reasons Fox News gets more viewers though and you can tell by the exit polls of the 2016 election. That shows as you look at the 2016 results by age: 18-29 year olds - 55% voted for Hillary and 37% voted for Trump. 8% Independent 30-44 year olds - 50% voted for Hillary and 42% voted for Trump. 8% Independent 45-64 year olds - 44% voted for Hillary and 53% voted for Trump. 3% Independent 65 and older - 45% voted for Hillary and 53% voted for Trump. 3% Independent Younger people get their news primarily through the internet and more liberal comedy shows like The Daily Show or basically any late night show. Older people are more conservative and therefore watch FOX news. Given Obama got 60% of the youth vote (18-29) in 2008, it's fair to assume that more people voted for an Independent candidate because Hillary was a horrible candidate. As happy as Republicans were to win all three houses, the future of the party may be in more trouble then people realize.

Dr.Sack Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Democratic Party is wiped out at all levels of government. They hold 1/3 of city, county and state offices. And are the minority party in the house, senate, executive & soon to be judicial branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirdborn Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I watch about 3 mins of every news network before turning them off due to a failure to gather a consensus of what the hell they're supposedly reporting. Too many outraged personalities, too much conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpile233 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Love the grand claims about the democratic party being obliterated beyond measure. Sounds a lot like the Republican party not so long ago. Good to know all of you are also TV changers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
