With minor exceptions, almost
everywhere one goes that is a public facility like airports, bus and
railroad stations, as well as most private venues like the lobbies of
banks and corporate towers and even bars and restaurants, CNN is the
default cable news network hanging Big Brother-like on the wall for all
to see and believe. Often it is blaring at us in elevators.
This is true even though in terms of voluntary
home viewership CNN trails massively behind Fox News and even the less
popular MSNBC. It's clear from years of ratings, the people, by and
large and consistently, don't want to watch CNN. Nevertheless, they are
force fed the network's vision of the world as they sit stupefied in
airport lounges waiting endlessly for a delayed flight. It's like having
your brains drilled.
This has been going on for decades. Why?
The best you can say for CNN
is that, as the initiator of 24/7 cable news, the network has a
first-mover advantage, but that advantage has been perpetuated and
protected by a big lie.
And that lie is that CNN is
the true purveyor of impartial news. MSNBC is on the left. Fox is on
the right. But good old CNN gives you the straight story.
Nothing could be more ludicrous.
