I've been watching a fair bit of CNN since election night just because it's fascinating to see the world through a "US window" for a bit.

Do people still watch the news? What an awful waste of time. You can get all the up-to-date information at your fingertips.

i've watched a fair bit of CNN too recently. Their bias is so over the top it becomes fascinating to watch.

I don't watch regular news bulletins, there is just no point

I dont really watch the mainstream news unless theres some kind of big breaking story.

Plenty of non bias places online to keep up with goings on

MSNBC are worse. CNN at least attempt to have right wingers on now and again, MSNBC just dont bother. Its anti-Trump 24/7.

This is why I have to laugh when people say Trump will rise again. He's spent four years insulting the media. In 2015 he appeared on MSNBC on Morning joe and had a great interview. Now Trump calls the host of that show a murderer who should be investigated. He wont get the coverage he had in 2015 and CNN, MSNBC etc wont stop with the Anti- Trump rhetoric.

On topic, I watch news channels for a fair amount every night.

Saturdays 2PM Live Smerconish CNN HD
is better than Live Twitter.



Of course I have live feeds from
10 sources.


Times Radio Live Online and DAB
is a new special one

Wait til you find out that it’s faster, more convenient and offers a wider range of sources on the internet.

yeah calling every media outlet and social media outlet fake isn't going to encourage them to cover him once he is out of office. He may start his own ranting media outlet, but if its anything like his twitter outbursts I can't see it holding anyones attention. It certainly wont increase his reach which is what he would need to do to win another election
