This is truly how sad the state of the media is today. They _only_ care about perpetuating "The Narrative™". The fact that they could make billions by reporting on stories that people actually care about means nothing to them. Every single one of the stories that Ann mentioned would be of great interest to a lot of people in the country and would translate collectively into huge dollars from advertisers. But...but..."too inflammatory"...but...but.."can't be accused of being racist"...but..but..must be on the "Right Side of History™"....
One ray of sunshine on the dreary media landscape (aside from Ann Coulter, of course)...isTucker Carlson. As of this moment his first Twitter episode has garnered over 69M views and is still going strong. Regardless of what you might think of Tucker, numbers like that will make advertisers and shareholders take notice. Their obvious question will be "wow, if Tucker can pull in that many viewers, why can't CNN?"
Eventually they might...MIGHT...figure out that something other than "all Leftist hysteria and Democrat Party talking points, all the time" just may be something worth trying out.
Sadly true. I suppose hoping for positive change driven by CNN's shareholders and advertisers is as equally pointless as hoping for positive change driven by Kim Jong's generals.
Damn Ann, you’re on fire. Great piece and a spot on commentary on the dire state of the American corporate media. Girl, you’re a treasure, straight up.
Thank you for the good laugh! Needed that. If you haven’t seen ABC’s coverage on the tsunami of shoplifting going on in Blue cities all over the country- highly recommend it. It’s hilarious. They blame the spiking shoplifting on our comfort with masks after Covid among other things. Not that these Soros DAs have decriminalized shoplifting! Not one mention of that.
CNN Fires Licht. Must be the victim of Systemic Racism or Russian Disinformation or Donald Trump and the MAGA Extremist White Supremacists. For CNN viewers there are no other options. No substitutions please, order from the menu.
This was the news organization we trusted for everything happening in the World. They had the courage to be in all the hot spots.
It’s a long way down from Baghdad to a SWAT raid on a Trump lawyer’s residence.
Now they are the National Perspirer (credit to MAD Magazine) who lack the courage to cover over half of the topics they used to handle with ease.
CNN and Licht told us going forward the direction was to return to being the credible news organization they once were. The result was more of the same pandering to the Left and this Administration. More (pardon the expression) white noise. So knock me over with a feather that Mr Licht is gone. Most golfers will tell you that when your swing has had a problem for so long, it’s hard to undo that muscle memory and go back to good execution. Apparently golf and journalism share some common threads.
Our corrupt media has always worked by this template, any news that make Republicans looked bad are put in headlines. But the news that put Democrats in negative lights, are either buried in the middle of the paper, or not reported at all. Thus for example, the name of Matthew Shepard was etched on our brains, but we never hear about the crimes homosexuals commit against children.
Ann hit the nail this time. Twitter has become an extraordinary source of news. YouTube is also improving with science coverage, events in China, etc. Daily Mail always a standby.
At about the same time that Ukraine blew up the Kakhovka dam, the other dam has broken on the lying press' propaganda coverage of the Ukraine war.
Deutsche Welle, has led pro-war propaganda on German TV. It is state owned media. Yet even they point out that a majority of Germans do not want German weapons sent to Ukraine. This is a major PR reversal by the German state propaganda organ.
Surprising that DW carried this Olaf Scholz speech. Though it would have been hard to ignore the event in Falkensee, close to Spandau (former prison address of Rudolph Hess, Karl Doenitz, Albert Speer), Northwest of Berlin.
See pathetic Yahoo ‘news’ call the protestors ‘pro-Russia” rather than ‘anti-war.’ Much of the German Press also blamed the protestors as pro-Russian and other insults. The protestors said nothing pro-Russian. They only shouted anti-war, anti-weapons, pro-peace slogans. Both Scholz and the Berlin-Brandenburg state PM smeared them as pro-Russia.
France 24 likewise has lightly softened the propaganda that Ukraine is winning. But only a little. It is normally a Russian hate-fest. ’The Debate’ had a quartet of pro-Ukraine speakers last night who all had a ‘deer in the headlights’ look of fear on their faces as they tried to keep the lies alive that Ukraine is winning.
The ‘Great Ukraine Counter-offensive’ ruse is quickly wearing thin, as each new offensive push is crushed by Russian forces. The mounting facts are beginning to hang heavily around the necks of the NATO leaders who provoked Russia. Cracks are emerging between the unholy alliance of the NATO governments and their adoring press. A split between the press and NATO governments would be as close as we are likely to get toward a revolution in both the U.S. and Europe. The only people more cowardly than the neocons are the press. But the press are nervously circling the decks, like rats ready to jump their Government's sinking ship.
I believe Ann has previously said they also put ugly people on CNN to make you think they're smart. Apparently boring news and hideous anchors isn't a winning combo.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! I've actually seen people in the gym reel back in horror when Fareed Zacharia's face is suddenly filling the screen.
Donald Trump famously said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight and his supporters wouldn’t abandon him.
Joe Biden could shoot someone in broad daylight and CNN wouldn’t report it.

CNN is working up stories on Dylan Roof and Timothy McVeigh while The NY Times plans a new investigation into Emmitt Till.
See! Balance.

It sure couldn't get much worse for CNN.
It couldn’t get much worse for North Korea but that doesn’t seem to change much...totalitarians are totalitarians.
Sadly true. I suppose hoping for positive change driven by CNN's shareholders and advertisers is as equally pointless as hoping for positive change driven by Kim Jong's generals.
Coulter’s Law: The longer it takes the media to identify a perp, the less likely the perp is a white male.
“Would covering stories like these turn CNN into a ‘right-wing’ network? Only if facts are ‘right-wing’ .”
But facts are ‘right-wing’ and that is why anybody who references facts must be immediately cancelled.
Just ask Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Un, etc....
Damn Ann, you’re on fire. Great piece and a spot on commentary on the dire state of the American corporate media. Girl, you’re a treasure, straight up.
Ann, you’ve rocked my day.

<< They blame the spiking shoplifting on our comfort with masks after Covid among other things.>>
yes, it's hilarious how the media will NOT stop blaming a worldwide pandemic for crime surges only in Dem-run cities.
Love the article and I’m a big fan.
Ann, is there an Adios America part 2 book coming? I hope Trump gets back in office and finishes the wall! Something else to not report!
Give it up - we're never getting a wall from Trump. He had 4 years. DeSantis will build a wall.

Ann discusses crime, disparate impact, Lululemon in Atlanta, and Connecticut’s big tax cut. And Mark Simone’s phone.
