Someone should tell Zucker there was C19. Airport attendance should be back to normal very soon

Yes, they used to be on at airports, but it's been years. The OP referenced the present tense and my reply is based on his words.

So the Fox cult is bigger than the CNN cult?

CNN is played at a number of airports (estimates range from 47 to 58). This is special produced content with stricter standards than the regular CNN broadcast. Entertainment, news, sports, weather, business content. There's usually a % of time that CNN contracts for their content to be shown each day. Airports have a range of content they offer. Not just CNN, but also sports and other news networks, etc.

Please provide links from legitimate sources.

it's also interesting that you separate the Conservative News Network and Universal Comcast as if the corporate conservative media is different other than branding and intensity.




CNN isn't on at airports. Oof.

Two House Democrats pressed a mix of cable, satellite and streaming providers on Monday about their decisions to carry Fox News, One America News Network and Newsmax, accusing the right-leaning outlets of serving as “misinformation rumor mills and conspiracy theory hotbeds that produce content that leads to real harm.”
And AOC famously called for Fox to be punished for Jan 6.

Fox sucks. They all suck. Fox is just the least bad. None of them report news as much as they are all panel driven tabloid shows. I am old. I remember what "the news" used to be. It was factual reporting of who, what, when, where, and why, while leaving the interpretation of those facts up to the viewing or listening audience.

News is dead. All they do today is pontificate on how their hand-picked panel of biased "experts" tells you what you are supposed to think about the one or two lines and 10 seconds of video they introduce a topic with.

Once upon a time, Fox was really good. When One America News Network first appeared, it blew the doors off Fox.

I get it that Fox News is the only cable news media that at least pushes back on woke Leftism and the Democrats, while every other cable news network is in bed with the Left. I get that.

Fox News still sucks, just less than the other suckage out there.

The internet is the only place where you have access to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. For now. the federal government and Leftist allies have been doing a good job of dismantling that access and it is not going to last terribly long going forward. I don't know when, but the First Amendment is not going to last a whole lot longer compared to the 200 plus years we have enjoyed its Constitutional protections.

Well, you saw the text messages right? Hannity etc. They deliberately lied on camera vs what they said in text messages.

Add to that the court verdict and fine.
