CNN TO REPUBLICANS: DROP DEAD
◼ CNN Chief Jeff Zucker might not be very good at getting ratings for his Nielsens-challenged network, but he’s great at hurling insults. On Friday, Zucker tried to diminish both the Republican Party and Fox News by alleging that the GOP is being run out of Fox. - TONY LEE/BREITBART
CNN has been repeatedly called out for its left-leaning biases that masquerade as "objective" news, which is why the network's primetime ratings hit a 20-year low last year.
It’s an interesting strategy Zucker has: trash the Republican Party and, by extension, all Republicans.
Though Zucker tried to paint Fox as a network that shills for Republicans, Americans do not think so, as more Democrats and independents watch Fox News than CNN and MSNBC. In addition, though Americans once went en masse to CNN to get information about breaking news, that is not the case anymore. Fox News regularly outpaced CNN in ratings when breaking news or tragedies--like the Boston Marathon Bombing--consumed the news cycle last year.
◼ Joe Trippi: More Democrats Watch Fox Than Watch MSNBC - JOHN NOLTE/BREITBART
...Obviously, no small amount of Democrats understand that you really have to watch Fox if you're going to get all the news. Imagine how ignorant we would all be about Libya if all we had access to was CNN, MSNBC, Politico and the rest...
Democrats might not appreciate the openly partisan programming at FNC, but much of the Fox day and evening is filled with some of the best straight news reporting around.
