By Margaret Sullivan Margaret Sullivan Media columnist Email Bio Follow Media columnist May 26 at 11:00 AM With their limited, aging viewership, you might think cable TV news would be a political afterthought and a business washout.
“Cable TV news has an influence today that is outsized to the literal audience that is watching it,” said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute. And viewership is a fraction of the audience still flocking to the three nightly news half hours on CBS, NBC and ABC: There are more than 9 million viewers for David Muir’s top-rated ABC show, “World News Tonight,” compared with cable’s top-rated competitors, Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow, who each draw about a third of that number.
“Cable can bring a second-screen virality — it’s an incubator for moments that go viral” on social media, said Peter Hamby, a former CNN political correspondent who left the network to develop news content for Snapchat. His vastly younger audience, he told me, has little awareness of cable TV news shows and personalities.
Why do their heads look photoshopped?
If the headline matches the article, there is no comparison.
MSNBC is the only kind of left network and they have plenty of republican commentary
The center right, right, and far right networks
Watching cable news is akin to eating out of a toilet....

Funny you bring up Vidal: “We are the United States of Amnesia, which is encouraged by a media that has no desire to tell us the truth about anything, serving their corporate masters who have other plans to dominate us.”
Wait a minute! C'mon now. In your picture this guy has an awfully big head for that little tiny body! Reminds me of...⬇️
Fox News is state media. CNN and MSNBC are centrist as hell. And your headline contains no liberal/progressive news source. You should be ashamed to publish this.
If WaPo keeps this both sides 💩 up, I am canceling my subscription.
Says the Washington post, which certainly doesn’t have outsize influence.
Now go figure... Another Fox news favorite, Nigel Farage , is dominating as the Brexit party leader in the EU elections... The people across Europe are making a huge statement: No more Globalism..
Joseph Goebbels in his wildest dreams could not have imagined CNN!!

Watch: Trump rally crowd boos Fox News—'What's going on with Fox, by the way?'President Donald Trump questioned the coverage Fox News is giving to the Demoratic Party’s 2020 candidates during his rally in Montoursville, Pennsylvania. FOX is now run by leftists and will lose their lead over ALL of the other cable tabloids if they keep inviting these unhinged leftists to bash their network while on their stage. OANN is an optimal choice. They'd better stick with the Natl Enquirer supermarket trash paper, more their style. Pure stinking garbage, matches what's in their brains.
