If people today could see the first broadcasts of CNN back when Ted Turner had his brain turd idea of 24 hour news, most would be confused and surprised. I remember rolling my eyes and thinking "what a stupid idea, there isn't enough news in a day to make for compelling enough TV to warrant spending my valuable time watching it. I'd much rather share this gallon of McNaughton's, smoke a few blunts with friends and try to hijack a freight ship from a canoe. With a single machete." True story.
Everything about CNN today is based on the successful engagement technique that Fox news created for just the reason you described. CNN, MSNBC and the rest are just like Fox news in any meaningful analysis. They are focus-group derived engagement content and absolutely nothing else.
imagine if cnn went this hard on a democrat or republican...they'd have more views
Never seen Pelosi or Biden asked to take a clear position on anything lmao

Yeah 24 hours news was always a bad idea. So bad that it took the creation of Fox news to make it work lol
