This is a great and thorough piece by @CalebHowe about just how much of CNN's programming is devoted to Fox but I think it doesn't go far enough into why. CNN is run like the WWE and they just need a heel. Instead of a new president, it's now just Fox mediaite.com/opinion/roll-t…
It's all run the way Jeff Zucker wants it to be run, the Apprentice guy who loved Donald Trump. These are not news people. They are performing just as wrestlers perform in interviews. It's that simple.
We were told for 4 years the obsession with fact-checking and Chryons by people like @brianstelter is because Trump was the most powerful important person in the world. Now they treat Tucker Carlson that way instead and not Joe Biden. Weird right?
Look at the prime time hours now on twitter between media accounts. They are all just literally tweeting to each other what Tucker Carlson said at any given moment. It's fuckin weird man. They won't be tweeting about Andrew Cuomo tonight. That's a certainty.

Beat for beat the 1981 Lone Ranger film is better than most marvel films today.
There are so many little great scenes and arcs in this. The blood brother six as kids. The training of Silver and recovery scene. The pledge at the grave. The interrogation scene in the saloon. The Tonto rescue & the end fight scene. Also an incredibly underrated score.
"Another idea we had is we're thinking of re-editing Predator, where the Predator is a giant needle. And we're going to over dub Arnold's voice to scream GET TO THE MODERNAH"
"And monster truck derbys. Also we're going to be relabeling Budweiser cans. Anything we can do to reach these folks."
His panel involved doctors and epidemiologists. Is YouTube's official stance that no one is to ever debate or question the stance of he US Government, because that's going to end very badly.
If there are panels of university experts, doctors and epidemiologists participating in this panel, then by definition, it's not a consensus, this is batshit lunacy.
