I’m pretty sure FoxNation is doing just fine at about the same subscription price.

Actually we don’t know how well Fox Nation is doing. Fox never lets anyone know what their subscriber count is.

They do routinely touts Tubi numbers (their other streaming service) but never Fox Nation.

Any news organization that would place Brain Stelter into their news anchor position, deserves to be bankrupt for their total display of incompetence…and ahhhhhhhhh…poor Chris Wallace.

The business model was based on 2 million subscribers. They got 10,000.

They were off by a factor of 200. OOPS!

So then Bill is wrong and people WILL pay extra for premium lies, distortions and propaganda.

As demonstrated by Fox Nation.

These are the same people that gladly donate to a known grifter and to every other Con victim that throws a “Go fund me” page up…So that isn’t saying much…lol

Yes, Fox has plenty of lies, propaganda, and misinformation. Their news department accepted the CIA-imposed gag order on the Biden laptop, and they allowed Chris Wallace to promote the fine-people hoax.

The difference is that they allowed Tucker Carlson to present an alternative viewpoint. Carlson presented interviews with a Biden business associate who confirmed the contents of laptop. He also documented the government lies and misinformation about January 6.

CNN is pure state-sponsored propaganda from what I can see. You can get the same crap from any of the mainstream media. It is obvious why CNN+ has failed miserably.

Fox has plenty of lies, propaganda, and misinformation.

But they also have Tucker Carlson.

Anyways, CNN+ always seemed like a bad idea, the network isn’t doing great in the ratings and they just had some turmoil with Cuomo and management. I don’t see how a 24 hour news network just needs more time for side projects and somehow thinks people are going to pay extra. When I read they hired Chris Wallace it was mildly intriguing until i got to the “for a show on cnn+”. Oh, so you paid the money to get him for something no one would see. Go it.

Who thought it was a good idea to take a news channel that nobody watches and make a premium version of it ?

Well, yeah. That’s where you get the premium Carlson nuttery.

Can you watch him tan his private parts there?

Cuz I am NOT paying to see that!

Here's to feeling good all the time. :

Just like in the year 2020, this whole month is Four Twenty Too.

Well CNN is part of the Warner family now and will have access to the HBO Max subscribers.

So we shall see.

NCREDSTATE · 2022-04-21T23:24:31.747Z

CNN has been a part of Warner since 1996.

I don’t think it will help.

Their recent expansions might help.

But I agree the content they were teasing for CNN+ was highly unappealing. I would never pay for it.

NCREDSTATE · 2022-04-21T23:41:36.383Z

New management likely pulled the plug on CNN+.

They need to rebuild their brand before trying to expand it.

Who knows, do they publish their subscribers base.

bTW Netflix took it on the chin losing 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter.

According to my google search FoxNation has anywhere from 200 to 300 thousand subscribers, I know that’s a wide range but they’ve been around a couple years and seem to be going strong. I don’t subscribe myself but my very good friend does so whenever they have something I want to see I just go to her house.

As far as Netflix is concerned their pricing has a lot to do with their loss. My basic plan went from $5 to $9.00, I’m holding on for the final season of The Crown before I consider cancelling.

Next they’ll try CNN-minus.

That one will pay you to watch.
