President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Watching a Trump rally anymore – or even the short clips, which actually are all
I can stand – is a lot like watching Ralph Kramden go off back in the ancient day.



Except everyone knows that Kramden is a pompous, prancing asshole on TV, and so we can laugh in delight at the pompous, prancing TV asshole. Because that's what he's there for: to laugh away, and quickly, so we can be decent humans again in the day-to-day.

Meanwhile, in modern times, we get Fucko the Clown.
Except a big chunk of America thinks Fucko the Clown is Jesus II.

Come on, America. Look at Fucko the Clown again.
He's just another pompous, prancing asshole on TV.

What? Who is Archie Bunker?

 

The answer to all your questions about CNN, dear SJposters, is money.



TL;DR: CNN's shift is because being centrist doesn't bring in the kind of audience that brings in money. News channels don't make money off A18-49 like other channels. The money in cable news is 50+.
