News Nation

Post by Vēritās »

Has anyone ever heard of this outlet? I hadn't, until I came across one of their youtube clips by accident.

Apparently it is an alternative to CNN/FOX while claiming to be "balanced." When I saw that I thought, yeah right. Sure. Fair and balanced. Where have we heard this before? But the clip I clicked on which interviewed Trump's attorney ... I found myself making it through the entire segment. The host was constantly holding her feet to the fire all the while conceding some of the points she was making about FBI mishandling evidence in the past.

So then I started clicking on other clips, and again, I came away fairly impressed because they really do appear to be making a concerted effort to be fair and balanced. It appears to be a subscription online outlet, but I'm considering subscribing to it.

Yes, I followed their crime coverage with Brian Entin in the case of Gabby Petito. It was top notch. I can't speak to anything else they do.

ETA: I just checked their website and they have a tab to The Hill. If it matters...they are both owned by NextStar.

and here is their deal on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewsNation

I used to watch it when it was WGN Chicago. I haven't seen it in its cable incarnation.

It is available on YoutubeTV and I'm glad because we're about to unplug cable and start streaming everything.

Thanks. We did the same and have been very happy with YouTube TV.

Well so much for News Nation being the new unbiased outlet.

This guy Leland Vittert is now on their shows and he used to work for FOX News and host FOX n Friends. This is the kind of crap he feels is newsworthy. Basically wasting an entire segment gloating about CNN canceling their online CNN+ package while praising Sean Hannity's success.

Also, Chris Cuomo is now on News Nation and he is constantly hosting Right Wing idiots like Bill O'Reilly.

Sounds like they quickly got away from the news outlet model into personality TV. It may take some time to devolve into right-wing TV since that market seems saturated.

So Cuomo is still hosting that idiot Bill O'Reilly who went batshit crazy over Biden's speech, saying he was lying all the while giving a pass to the Republicans in the House who acted like fools. Bill then goes completely unhinged and makes up lies about Biden's $2.8 trillion deficit!

In this video he attacks Biden for being a socialist by playing semantics over minimum wage and living wage. Cuomo wasn't having any of it.

As far as being balanced is concerned, that's a GOOD thing, . . . right?
