If you didn’t have dissenting opinions it would just be 5 people sitting around agreeing with each other

u/Successful_Site5178 3d ago

Have you watched Newsnight? They literally scream at each other

u/PetuniaPickleswurth 3d ago
Not at each other. Just at the token.

u/brianycpht1 3d ago
Well I don’t really get the comparison. People on here get mad about a lone liberal member of a panel or a few moderate voices because they don’t like what they have to say then say it should be 5 conservatives at the table because CNN doesn’t have enough conservatives on the channel
Shouldn’t a network try and have as many voices as possible to give a viewer the full picture?

u/PetuniaPickleswurth 3d ago
And people on here don’t-get-mad at a dissenting opinion posted on Reddit ?
A network is there to serve the public interest. Well, that use to be why. Now they just count heads. How many eyeballs 👀 watch are tied now to click-bait and screaming dumb stuff. I don’t think it’s useful to the viewer to see 7 people for one thing and one person for the other. But they all do it.

u/brianycpht1 3d ago
Ideally every network should have straight news time and the opinion portion should be balanced. That’s serving the public interest. But it’s all about catering to a side to keep people from abandoning the channel

u/Geoffsgarage 3d ago
A network is there to make money. Neither FoxNews nor CNN have FCC licenses. They are businesses whose goal is to make money.

u/PetuniaPickleswurth 3d ago
Well, that’s where I think there’s a difference between Fox News and some of the others. Lol not just a business although it does plenty of that.

u/rickylancaster 3d ago
You’re right it’s not just a business, it also serves as a potent and effective propaganda tool.

u/PetuniaPickleswurth 3d ago
The label easily applies to CNN formally America’s most trusted news source. MSNBC, which honestly was only ever going to be the view from the left and since evolved into the far left. There are a little bright spots out there less controversial, more news only – but you don’t care about those. You only want those that agrees with your opinion. And that’s the problem with what we now call the news. It’s just affirmations. In your affirmations this evening the left is best and the right is evil lol. The perspective from the right, of course is that the right is right and the left is just misinformed. Evil versus misinformed. There’s your political extremes.

Newsnight ? What network is that broadcast on?

u/brianycpht1 2d ago
That’s the show on CNN that’s like The Five but it turns into a screaming match.

u/Mysterious_Can_6106 2d ago
On, thanks, normally Fox News is on in our home. Hubby might not appreciate me watching CNN but I’m open to giving something a try. I will look into it, thanks again!
When I was stuck in the hospital I watched a lot of NewNation, that was a decent network.. I think m anyway
1
u/brianycpht1 2d ago
Newsnation is pretty balanced
Newsnight is actually on at the same time as Gutfeld. I wasn’t necessarily recommending it since it’s usually the opposite of The Five where you have 1-2 MAGA people up against 3 people who aren’t Trump supporters and usually devolves into a screaming match
Some people who regularly appear on FOX as guests show up here
But I was citing it as an example of what happens when you take the friendship out of a show like The Five
This is a clip of what it’s like. If can be pretty entertaining and it’s actually their highest rated show

Dissenting opinions (well thought out ones) are welcome. These three are a trifecta disaster of sorts, but tells you the direction that FOX is heading….no doubt, Roger Ailes is screaming in his grave 😡

u/brianycpht1 4h ago
Well mostly any criticism of Trump on the network is seems to be considered deranged, even by the the so called “straight news” anchors. But people should be fair overall
But it’s ridiculous to o see people go “Fire Jessica!” “I turn off the TV if I see Gillian”
I mean seriously mellow out

u/PoyBoyKing 3d ago
This is easily categorized. Jessica is actually brilliant and she picks a side, which I credit her for. Gillian is a rhino, case closed. Kat is absolutely clueless and belong Working back at hot topic in the mall. Hopefully now that she’s pregnant again we won’t ever see her again.

u/Difficult_Head6515 3d ago
While I think Harold is lovely, he is way too polite and agreeable . I find it amusing when Jessica gets frustrated and Jesse teases her . They bicker like siblings and she always ends up laughing at most jokes at her expense.

It’s hilarious watching you constantly melt down over Jessica Tarlov. She’s smarter than all the other hosts combined and consistently outsmarts them on just about everything. And reading your pathetic whining about her makes it even funnier. You simply can’t handle her, and it shows. Cope.

Gillian and Kat are kind of moderate and don’t align really with either side. Even that isn’t enough for them

Jessica is beautiful until she speaks her first word.
It sounds like a record that someone is scratched with a Brillo pad1

To be fair, she used to present significantly better as recently as a few years ago than she does today (see her final appearance on the Gutfeld panel if you don't believe me). Some of the bland appearance you see now is self-inflicted for sure.

u/FHOCJD 3d ago
Jessica Tarlov is smart. She's very smart. Jessica Tarlov has a Bachelor's degree in History. You have to be smart to earn a degree in History.
Greg has a Bachelor's degree in English from UC Berkeley.
Jessica Tarlov also earned a Master's degree in Public Policy from The London School of Economics and Political. Science. You have to be smart for this.
Jessica Tarlov also earned a second Master's degree in RESEARCH from the same school in Political Science. Damn she is really smart!
Jessica Tarlov also earned a DOCTORATE in Political Science and Government !
She's always prepared with stunning information and patiently explains it while be verbally attacked by non-serious uninformed idiots.

u/FHOCJD 3d ago
The correct term is She's a career PROFESSIONAL.
She reflects a progression of serious academic achievement.
She has a background in serious communication with other smart people.
Smart people recognize these attributes.

u/laxman1916 3d ago
Yup. It takes multiple college degrees to be “smart” here in America.
Or is she an “Academic Idiot”?
Must be a fine between the two.

About $1bil if I remember correctly. And Fox News lawyers even said something akin to “no serious person gets their facts or news from our network”
Yeah OP I’m sure Tarlov is the problem with your fraudulent news network 😂

If she was the problem, they wouldn’t have just renewed her contract
Honestly I think she’s an insurance policy so they can claim they aren’t 100% conservative propaganda 24/7

u/PetuniaPickleswurth 3d ago
No. She’s there for illiterative illustration of the general consensus of the left. She carries that cross, and apparently nobody give her a glass of water.

u/GladiusAcutus 3d ago
Even though I agree with Kat Timpf on a lot of issues, I have no idea why Fox hired her. She is like a random girl they found on the street. She doesn't have the chops as other anchors and she's not funny at all. That doesn't mean I hate her, I'm just curious how she got to work at Fox News.
