What exactly is CNN trying to accomplish with this hit piece?

[-] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 51 points 4 months ago

You know, as much as one has to keep Machiavellian machinations and Realpolitik in mind.... Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Biden did not do well. They report about it in a way that gives them clicks. There is no plan.

Calling a spade a spade is a hit piece now? Truly the least propagandized people on the planet.

Calling a spade a spade would at least include the mention that Trump didn't answer a single question. All he did was ramble; I could stomach 3 questions and I cannot tell from the answer if Trump understood any of them

Article about the performance of Biden and the Democrats response

But But it's unfair because they didn't talk about Trump! This is exactly why we are in this mess to begin with.

In 2009, CNN's current CEO and chairman was called the 65th most powerful person in the world by Forbes.

I wonder if he'd have any financial incentive one way or the other?

Check out who runs CNN now and all will become apparent.

Ratings and clicks--same thing they wanted with the debate.

[-] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

You think CNN cares who wins?

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

They do actually. CNN was bought by open Trump supporters back in 2022. It's been stated a few times they want CNN to become another Fox News.

CYA, probably.
