Where does CNN get the money? They don’t get ratings.. hmm.
I brought this up to Fox News years ago and they could care less.
Actually, it comes from you. CNN is funded by the STATE DEPARTMENT. In other countries, CNN is funded by whatever version of the Department of State they have.
This TVgone remote actually worked. I tried years ago before the iphone was out. Just sit down in front and point and shut off and watch heads explode.
What’s the difference between this and Payola? When I was a youngster folks got in trouble for paying to have their records played. Here CNN is paying to have a captive audience.
> “But of course, Carlson didnt include any of that detail.”
He doesn’t have to. We’ve all seen how CNN slips it progressive messages into everything, sports, weather, market updates, especially when transitioning from one segment to another.
CNN: “And that’s the weather wrapup for this hour. Now we hear from XYZ on how the Trump administration is denying the climate change consensus of 99.785483% of all scientists in recorded history. Over to you Chris!”
So who did you talk to?
Check your cable or satellite bill. As long as CNN remains in the “basic service tier” they get paid for every single subscriber, no matter whether they watch CNN or support it’s advertizers or not. Same with ESPN.

...
Can you show proof of that?
I ran across a public document a while ago from MSP airport (Minneapolis). CNN Airport pays them $200k (IIRC), and supplies the monitors and maintenance too.
This is probably a pretty standard deal at the big airports.
Also note that CNN Airport is not exactly the same as regular cable CNN.
Typical breakout of “per subscriber” monthly charges from a couple of years ago:
ESPN: $4
TNT: $.99
NFL Network: $.75
USA: $.55
ESPN2: $.54
CNN: $.51
FX: $.42
Sundance: $.25
AMC: $.23
Bravo: $.19
Comedy Central: $.14
BBC America: $.12
Food Network: $.08
PBS Kids: $.04
CNN is Horrible, even at the Airports.
Same with Good Morning America. All it is is background noise in airports, hotels, and restaurants. But more and more, I see people in hotels and restaurants telling staff, “Turn that sh!+ off, I’d rather watch bowling.”
I only wish what Carlson brought to our attention, somebody from the Trump administration, who watches Foxnews, maybe even Trump himself, would bring it to the forefront. Maybe even do something about it. It needs legs.
It gags me when traveling by air, to have CNN fake news at every monitor throughout every airport!
They tried to pull this crap with talk radio and it didn’t work. Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, among others, were fully onboard with Ted Cruz because they were paid to. That’s why those guys are dead to me. They don’t do what’s right for the country or conservatism anymore, they’re on sale to the highest bidder.
Link?
Our little airport in Idaho Falls has FOX News on in the boarding area. The only airport I have ever been to with FOX.
I always figured CNN sends people around to airports to count passengers in the boarding areas and then includes this number in their ratings. How else can they explain anyone watching their crap, other than the relatives of people on air?
First, Airports pay CNN. Who funds the airports ?
Second, the government funds Time-Warner. CNN is a unit of Time-Warner.
CNN Journalist Governments Pay Us To Fake News, Shocking Exposé
Mitt Romney Is Wrong. CNN Does Receive Government Funding. Foreign Government Funding From Bahrain. Remove CNN's airport monopoly and tax-payer funded broadcast.
