CNN is no good. Journalists describing Joe Rogan taking horse dewormer when he had a prescription for Ivermectin is indefensible.
Joe Rogan is spreading misinformation and potentially VERY dangerously at that.

Why not? CNN is complete propaganda without any actual news. I really dont understand how intelligent people can watch it.
As an outsider who has dabbled in American television, this is true for all of American television. It’s incredible how even those who don’t think they’re brainwashed are brainwashed.

That's a broad brush. There's CNN/Fox News/OAN level bias and then there's ABC. It's a matter of degree.
If you think CNN is in the same league of bias as Fox News, you are in a deep state of denial. Let alone OAN!
I'll give you OAN, that's an entirely higher level of misinformation.
What a terribly written article, let alone that it provides no sources. London Daily isn't a reputable and reviewed news source and it admits the following on the About Us page: > Publishing news is very simple, just click ‘add your news’ on the site and it will take the author to the article upload interface. Why was this excuse of a news article even posted here?
Normally we'd replace the URL above but I don't think this thread is salvageable.
They are pretty blatantly just a propaganda outlet at this point, it is even obvious to former viewers.
Meanwhile this article is ACTUALLY propaganda, contains no sources, and is on a site where anyone can submit "news" via a form. And yet you believed it, because it agrees with your preexisting view.
The text contains sources in the sense that it's reporting on Nielsen data. I have no idea whether it's reporting accurately, but it would be surprising if not, because making up fake Nielsen numbers would be such a dumb thing to do.
p.s. can you please not cross into personal attack in HN arguments? also, please don't use allcaps for emphasis - this is also in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Can you explain why? (I'm not from the USA) I thought it is one of the best source for news about the US/World (Together with the NYTimes)

I don't think you need to put a whole lot of thought into why this article was posted. I think you already know the answer in fact. It's a terrible article and it's written in a terrible way. Who might want to post that here?

Users are asked not to post such insinuations unless there is evidence. "Evidence" means something specific and concrete and objective. Someone else liking an article you dislike on some widely divisive topic is not evidence, it's just normal. (How bad the article may be is irrelevant to this point.)

Simple googling shows that the article was cribbed from https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-two-weeks-1-million-viewer... . I've banned the site. Normally we'd replace the URL above but I don't think this thread is salvageable.

Having watched US news for 40 years, since my early teen years, I have found all US news has become much more US-centric. CNN was pretty good but it does seem to be stuck in a US only, counter-right wing loop. Fox news is very far right from my point of view maybe less so to those in the US. It also spends its time trying to counter CNN.
Local news ABC, CBS, NBC are nightly news and often are what you'd typically think of as news broadcasts. Those three stations tend to be neutral in views but as I said above are becoming more US-centric. There is much less international news other than mentioning wars or terrorism. You won't see a story of cricket scores in India, or a recipe from a chef in Argentina, or local politics news of Ghana. You often will see such things on BBC or Reuters for example.
The US political system is a "us vs them" mentality not like parliamentary democracies where there are half a dozen political parties in government. There is a Democrat (liberal) vs Republican (conservative) ideological split. CNN, NBC, PBS tend to be seen as aligning with Democratic party, BLM, lgbt, left-leaning views. Fox, OAN, Newsmax are Republican, military, religious right, far right views.
edit: for anyone outside the US wanting to watch US news without the quick edits, fancy graphics etc. your best source would be PBS news.
