I don't know the answer, but its obvious they are reaching a smaller and smaller audience every day, so their ability to manipulate people is declining with their ratings. The only way for them to survive is to reach a broader audience, and to do that, they either need to broadcast a better version of the truth, or they need to become better liars.

Generally, that's true.
Except... some of these media outlets aren't expected to be profitable. They don't need to do what it takes to expand the audience. They are 'loss leaders' for larger, profitable organizations. They push an agenda, and the propaganda to support it for reasons other than profit.
Example: Do you think Jeff Bezos needs the Washington Post to be profitable?

I was just speaking to a friend in B.C., Canada. He told me that in BC, Canadians are mostly anti trump. He said that the propaganda is working well, as that most of what people learn comes from CNN. He was surprised that people are not dying on the streets in my area, as that is what CNN is pushing.

So, CNN may be fading strongly in the USA, but in Canada and probably other countries, the CNN lies are what the people know.

Yeah, well, Canadians don't vote in our elections.

Seriously...intercourse them. They elected a privileged dilettante douchebag as PM. Their collective opinion means less than nothing.

'Shoot On-Site': Chicago Gangs Form Pact To Execute Cops Who Draw Weapons On Suspects, Says FBI

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...raw-weapons-suspects

The FBI has warned Chicago-area law enforcement that nearly three-dozen street gangs "have formed a pact to 'shoot on-site any cop that has a weapon drawn on any subject in public'

According to an August 26 'situation information report' from Chicago-based FBI officials, "members of these gang factions have been actively searching for, and filming, police officers in performance of their official duties. The purpose of which is to catch on film an officer drawing his/her weapon on any subject and the subsequent 'shoot on-site' of said officer, in order to garner national media attention."

Alerts based on police intelligence, no matter how unspecific, are frequently distributed to law enforcement agencies according to investigators, especially when they involve threats to officers. The FBI's "Potential Activity Alert" is from "a contact whose reporting is limited and whose reliability cannot be determined." That could mean the information came from a police street source, a cooperating witness in an ongoing case, or from discussions overheard on a wiretap or other surveillance recording. -ABC7

According to CPD Superintendent David Brown, there is an overall "sense of lawlessness" felt by local police, and the 'danger to police officers is real and increasing.'

"I think it's bigger than a suggestion," said Brown. "I think 51 officers being shot at or shot in one year, I think that quadruples any previous year in Chicago's history. So I think it's more than a suggestion that people are seeking to do harm to cops."

The alleged pact comes amid national protests over several high-profile incidents between black suspects and police officers which has resulted in arson, looting, murder and other violent acts in cities across the country sparked by the death of George Floyd - a black suspect who died in police custody after an officer knelt on his neck for over eight minutes.

As ABC7 notes, the warning comes after 54 people were shot in the windy city last weekend - including two Chicago PD officers who are expected to live, while 10 victims died according to the report. That said, there is no indication that the officers were targeted as part of the alleged gang assassination pact described in the FBI alert.

The FBI alert, headlined "Pact Made by People Nation Gang Factions to 'Shoot On-Site' Any Police Officer with a Weapon Drawn" lists street gangs that have become well-known in Chicago the past five decades, from the Latin Kings and Vice Lords to the El Rukns and Black P Stones.

Supt. Brown said on Monday the spike in attacks on police makes it clear to him that "people are seeking to do harm to cops."

"We need police officers and as community members we need to push back fervently against lawlessness," Brown said. -ABC7

Chicago PD told the outlet that they are aware of the gang threat, and take all threats to officers' safety seriously. Federal authorities have not provided additional information.


This has made the headlines on Fox News also.

Flamethrower-Packing Antifa 'Entered Fetal Position And Began Crying' After Unsuccessful Escape From Cops

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...g-after-unsuccessful

A 23-year-old Wisconsin man carrying a flamethrower, smoke grenades and fireworks during a Saturday night demonstration in Green Bay 'dropped into the fetal position and began crying' after he was chased down by police



Matthew Banta of Neenah, WI - who is "known to be a violent Antifa member who incites violence in otherwise relatively peaceful protests," was one of four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats, according to ABC2.

Green Bay police say they were called for “a whole bunch of white people with sticks, baseball bats and helmets headed... towards the police” on Walnut St. near Webster Ave.

A responding officer says he saw four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats. One man was wearing a metal helmet with goggles and military-style gear with multiple pouches, and was carrying an Antifa flag. When the officer pulled his squad car in front of the group, they ran away. The officer caught Banta, who was carrying the flag, and says Banta “dropped into the fetal position and began crying.” He accused the officer of lying on him; the officer replied nobody was on him. -ABC2

Banta claims he wasn't planning to incite a riot (with his flamethrower, smoke grenade and fireworks).

The three other individuals Banta was with were caught trying to break into a house. When officers apprehended them, they dropped what they were carrying, with one of them telling the police that they were simply bringing items for self-defense.

Last month, Banta was charged in Waupaca County with second-degree recklessly endangering safety and four other charges for pointing a loaded gun at a police officer, and biting and kicking another.

What I am saying is that the propaganda does work, at least for a while. Our northern may wake up eventually and realize they have been duped. Often Canadians are aware of what is working in the US, and eventually follow.

Voters in Portland will remember this, and oust the idiots, hopefully. If they don't... they deserve what they get.

Those antifascist leaders are real badasses until they get caught or run up against a real man.

That's what you think! If it's good for the U.S. dead and resident illegal aliens, why shouldn't living Canadians contribute to the Democratic cause?

If you took CNN out of the airports their viewership numbers would drop in half...

Matthew Banta...............good grief.

Fucking CNN International has been the face of our country for decades, its anti-Americanism even more over the top than CNN's domestic product from what I've heard. They've always hidden behind press freedom, spewing poison and seemingly untouchable. Of course CNN are not the only ones shitting in their own nest and yeah, it's a big problem.

Notice how they always manage to weave Floyd or Blake into a story about a "protester" injuring police

This loser is lucky to still be breathing if he pointed a weapon at an officer.

Yep. Tell me what they read and listen to and I can tell you what they think

"Commander Red"? I think maybe these assholes should try presenting their comic book names to a focus group. It might help them from looking even douchie-er than they do already. What a joke.
