      What I hate is that more and more online sites are going behind paywalls. I always try to get "the other side" from a source I consider hostile - like going to a leftist site to get the "other side" of an issue. You get a "peek", then you have to subscribe to keep reading. It used to be just - you had to tolerate ads.

        I like your implication that many of us don't already do that.

          And.....

          CNN RATINGS TANK

          CNN Ratings Tank

          I’ve been writing over the last few days about the fact that “get woke, go broke” doesn’t always apply to companies that pose as social justice warriors. On the other hand, CNN’s formula–obsessive, over the top Trump hatred, every day, all the time–has bombed. John Nolte has the numbers:

          The far-left fake news outlet CNN came in 15th place in primetime during the previous quarter and lost nearly 20 percent of its already pathetic viewership.

          Here are the prime time numbers for cable news channels:

          Fox: 2.4 million
          MSNBC: 1.67 million
          CNN: 761,000

          Compared with the second quarter last year, all three cable news networks are down, I assume because Trump hysteria has subsided somewhat. Fox is down 2% in prime time, MSNBC is down 4%, and CNN down 18%. It’s tough when you are already in third place and suffer by far the largest loss of audience.

          Of course, MSNBC has historically been the farthest left cable network. Nolte says:

          CNN is an unreliable and dishonest hate network obsessed with working out its psychosis against Trump and his supporters by going so far as to condone and encourage violence against them.

          For all of MSNBC’s flaws, its anchors are nowhere near as dangerous or unstable.

          I can’t comment, since I never watch cable news, except to note that our friend Hugh Hewitt has [rather, had] a show on MSNBC, so they have that much balance, at least.

          In any event, it seems clear that CNN’s ratings collapse is a function of its utterly boring anti-Trump mania. I wrote quite a while ago that CNN could abandon its programming entirely, and instead simply post a placard that says “We hate Trump.” It is isn’t hard to see why such a boring message repels the audience.

            Look guys, the only reason Fox has the highest ratings is because it has the best looking women.

                Can you dial down the hysteria just long enough to identify which of those was treasonous?

                        Oh really... so you believe that someone can be informed and still support and defend the President in good faith? That we're not compromising our Christiani values when we do so? Does this mean that in the future, you are going to refrain from using one's Christianity as a bludgeon against their support of the President?

                          I've voted for Democrats and Republicans. I vote for who I think will make the best President and Hillary Clinton wasn't it.

                          I have never seen the type of hatred coming from Democrats that I see today. Hatred so strong that some Republicans are afraid to wear a certain hat or display a certain bumper sticker or go into a restaurant, etc. This type of hatred kills.

                          If you don't like Trump, then vote him out.

                                They are 'treasonous' in that they are a persistent attack on institutions that have long been integral to our distinctive as a nation that values truth and criticism of our government, that values the concept 'no one is above the law'. Without a free press, without out an impartial judiciary (or at least an attempt an an impartial judiciary) we LOSE critical elements that have 'made America Great', and not in the financial and military sense where Trump is focused. But the ideological underpinnings of our nation.

                                What makes America great is NOT its wealth, nor it might. There have been wealthy nations, and there have been powerful nations. What makes this nation great is the ideology behind it, the concept of freedom and justice for all, a government by the people and for the people, a nation where ANYONE can become president, and where NO-ONE is above the law.

                                Trump claims to want to "make america great again" while with each hour of his presidency he attacks the true greatness of America - its ideological underpinnings.
