Call it an infringement on our rights, but removing the $$$ from the news is it. 
No ads during the news and no viewer figures released. 

The cost of having a channel do the news is a 30-minute block of no-revenue programming and not knowing if you have the most viewers or the fewest. 
The 24-hour "news" channels will be reassigned for what they are:  fear-mongering crap.

24 hour cable news are the worst. I blame it for a lot of the problems we have.

yep and whats even more horrific are the scars on your arms from being chained to your chair making you watch it

You're mistaking a discussion about what his happening with a discussion about "what must be done" about it.

Censorship and cancel culture is not, IMHO, the answer ANYONE should be looking at. Because who decides what gets censored or canceled? OAM? I'm not on board with that lol!

What I'm saying is that we've built an edifice that is incompatible with our brains' ability to handle it, and it's causing problems.

My *hope* is that the generations who grow up in this environment figure out coping mechanisms to handle it. My *fear* is that humanity is just too tribal, and that we'll splinter as a society because we can't handle it.

24/7 cable news has millions upon millions of viewers. And it's designed to attract more and more viewers and gin up fear and anxiety- not make people really think or inform them. And they always for the most part just have on hack after hack- and whenever they get interviews with politicians they never press them.

Fox averages like 3.7 million viewers, CNN like 2.5 million, and MSNBC has 1 million. And all have millions of subscribers to their YouTube channels. And all of their websites have millions upon millions of hits daily.

They exist only to entertain, lie to, and frighten people. Most of it is absolutely awful. I mean for christ sake MSNBC just went on a 4 year evidence free based conspiracy theory about Russia. Before that Fox News went on a several year run on Obama doesn't have a birth certificate. And they all are always for war and pro military industrial complex. They hardly even let dissenting voices on anymore. Actual investigative reporters like Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill were on MSNBC all the time. They used to go on and slam Obama admin for it's drone wars and expansion of the security state- and were still allowed on although maybe less frequently- but as soon as they ridiculed Hillary Clinton and the DNC about their evidence free based Russia conspiracies- they were basically banned from going on MSNBC.

It's basically all nothing more than propaganda and state TV. They are always pro war, pro security state. I mean for christ sake the ex-head of the CIA- John Brennan works for MSNBC and the ex-head of the Director of National Intelligence- James Clapper- a man who f###ing committed perjury under oath to congress- works for CNN now. This is absolutely horrific, unconscionable, and criminal.
