54. I don't watch cable news- I have never seen their show

Mon Nov 18, 2024, 09:05 AM

Monday

I've never seen any of the shows mentioned here on MSNBC, CNN, even the ones made fun of at Fox, etc. I haven't had cable tv in a few decades now, and I don't miss it. I personally think the 24 hour news cycle and the way editorial programs were taking over cable news right about when I exited are a big part of the world's problems.

So all that said- is this show a "report the news" show or an editorial type show? The vibe I always get here is its an opinion type editorial show- and if so, there/s ZERO reason to indulge him by putting him on the air.

If OTOH this was a straight interview type program (think Barbara Walters circa 1999...) then it would make sense to want to interview the soon to be leader of America, good bad or ugly.
