so cnn wants content about how young people suck? they are already losing market share and they want to kill it even more? bold move. when bill maher had on john meacham and julia ioffe, they made fun of maher and his obsession with wokeness very early on in the show. that was one of the few shows where maher couldnt rant about young people and wokeness because he was with guests who made it very clear that they think people who overly focus on that stuff are ridiculous

To be honest it would just be better that these corporate media giants fail. They are mainly toxic and beholden to corporate interests/ad revenue over anything else.

Due to how this stuff works, even if the rest goes bankrupt, FOX News is still going to generate enough profit to keep going.

I'd like to see all of the media giants fail but like you said, Fox will probably find ways to continue through fear and manipulation. Ideally there needs to be populist media organizations which focus on journalism that provides a backbone for the working class and isn't afraid to critique structures of power no matter which side holds the power. With the current corporate structure, it is the antithesis of working class values. One of the few media organizations trying to go the grass roots route is The Lever.

Heaven forbid young people take an interest in politics. No, better that they ignore it and let things get worse.

As long as you can’t differentiate between browbeating people with different opinions and “taking an interest in politics”, you aren’t going to help make anything better.

Such a weird comment when Bill Maher's show is about politics
