Why is CNN still around? Because it's funded by dark money and government subsidies via the pharmaceutical industry.

CNN is on life support, you're right, but that's because the entire Left's narrative is on life support. Ignore the media landscape for a moment and, in your mind, survey the narrative landscape. Which side has the most huge barrels of unexploded gunpowder lying around? The Right. I agree with you that FOX is almost certainly equally as sick and rotten to the core as CNN is; but, in terms of fuel, they've got a hell of a lot more untapped and extremely explosive material still left to feed into their engine.

Me, I enjoy watching FOX dance, trying to stay Deep State, but also keep mining that vein of dangous, inflammable fuel. The key to harnessing anything explosive is, like with an internal combustion engine, keeping it contained and focused only on pushing your internal pistons. But this fire is as dangerous to them as it is to the Left (since, as you would agree, they're basically two sides of the same coin).

In the end, I would ultimately 100% agree with this:

No. We are the news. It's up to us to do the grunt work, on the ground, in the trenches. We need to tell our friends and family. We need to be there every time subjects are brought up to set people straight.

Fucking rights. WE ARE THE NEWS.
