You mean kinda like you and this other guy are talking to each other about mean old FOX hmm.
Nice try. No cigar.
CNN, msnbc, and legacy network news are pretty much The View with men in suits.

No- not like that at all.
I don't watch CNN, MS (whatever they now)- and certainly don't watch "The View" LOL
But your response is odd- given that Fox's audience is obviously the most loyal and biggest audience of those you mentioned. Fox even had a recent marketing campaign for advertisers about their audience being the most loyal and watching more hours of programming than any other audience in tv "news"
Not sure I follow the point you’re trying to make there. I will say that if there is a news event, I will tune to Fox; my perception has been that Fox is at least a legitimate presentation of ‘news’, while cnn and the legacy networks are more opinion and attempts to persuade regarding current events. The times I have watched cnn it strikes me for the world as an imitation of The Hunger Games movie.
The point was simple: I responded to someone who wrote their 85 year old family member, who doesn't care about sports at all, suddenly had a specific opinion about Clark and the WNBA based on watching Fox News talk about it endlessly.
I then shared a similar story about my own father watching Fox for hours every night until he falls asleep- and sometimes texting me because he's very upset about something Fox has told him to be upset about- something I have to remind him has no impact on him at all- and that he's addicted to watching it.
I don't turn on cable news at all. If there is breaking news - like major- major breaking news (like a plane crash)- I will turn to a broadcast channel to see if they are covering it and then I will flip around a bit between those to find out what happened. As soon as they start having someone offer "commentary" on whatever it is, I turn it off.
I don't watch Fox after the Dominion lawsuit where the hosts text messages, including their "news" people were discovered to be texting info behind the scenes that was totally different than they were telling the audience.
MS - never watch. The only CNN I ever watched was when they had that Headline News channel.
I was referring to your response to my post but thats ok, I've lost interest now.
If you think Fox isn't try to persuade you with their presentation of the news regarding current events, I can't respond to that. I mean, Bret Bair's emails were released in the Dominion lawsuit where he was arguing that they have to "respect the audience" and not tell them things that might upset them.
a cable entertainment news channel's sole purpose is to persuade their viewers with the way they present the news.
It's like an Indy car fan wanting to take someone to a race but says "But if you go, I don't want you to think there are cars racing"
All networks, regardless of content, are trying to attract viewers, end of story. The number of viewers, and the financial demographics of the viewers, drives the rates the network can charge for ad time and ad time sales are the biggest concern of every network.
Whether it is CNN, Fox, MSNBC, OAN or whatever, they are not really trying to convince anyone to think any certain way. They are trying to attract enough viewers who do think a certain way to be loyal viewers so they can sell ad time. Rush Limbaugh was always very open about the fact that his ultimate goal with his show was to maximize listener numbers. His particular view of the world and what he presented on his show was the best vehicle he knew of to accomplish his goal.
Agree completely with the post, except that this statement leaves out the 3 letter networks. Some people still think that is "news" compared to cable news.
And Angel Reese now has the WNBA record for most double-doubles in a season. She is a great player, too!
Angel also ended the month of August as the only player in WNBA history to score at least 200 points, 150 rebounds, 40 assists, and 20 steals. She is a great all-around player.
Caitlin needs to stop whining, flopping and generally stop being the stereotype of "entitled, White girl." Angel has developed into a far greater player then I ever expected. Could be MVP contender after A'ja retires. She has stopped some of her whining.
I don't watch the WNBA and couldn't name more tha 4-5 players.
But averaging 16 points a game, 12 rebounds, and 2.8 assists is evidence of a good basketball player.
I compare players to their counterparts in their league. Her stats prove she's a good player.
Not so fast my friend. She has yet to win a playoff series in which she played. Stats don't make you the greatest, performance does.
Does it really matter if no one sees it? - Now that Indiana is out, no one will watch. The fans (and myself) tune in to see Caitlin. She is just on another level compared to the others out there and it shows. - Although, she did kind of dissappear tonight during the game. She started out on fire, then the refs had seen enough of that and gave her technical foul and she never really responded after that. Tech called in the first 4 minutes of the game. I'm pretty sure she got her tooth knocked loose too - but no foul was called - of course.
She's gotta overcome the refs and the bullies - same as MJ did. And she will.
You still looking for that proof of 18 glazing Caitlin Clark? I don't know who brought this thread back, but thank you very much.
If you watched closely, you would find that Caitlin disappears a lot especially on the road against the top teams. A series early in the 4th Quarter illustrated that she still needs seasoning regarding time, score, and who is guarding you. A'ja got her 4th Foul early in the 4th Quarter. The Fever get the switch with A'ja getting switched off on Caitlin twice. Drive the ball Caitlin and have the refs make a decision on a call with Wilson guarding you. Instead, Caitlin does a weak little crossover for the little step back 3 that everyone knows she wants and ends up passing the ball both times. Little things like that are the difference in wins and losses in high leverage games.

Along with roughly 60% of the viewership.See you next year
No one watches for Angel or A'ja - they simply don't care. Caitlin is the future.
Without reading all these comments, I will say, me as “not a WNBA fan” could not have cared less about it. However with the Clark/Cunningham saga, I have “vaguely” paid attn. So obviously Clark has boosted the WNBA viewership by at least 20% IMO
Yep. Clark is the WNBA's cash cow. The league was an irrelevant afterthought before she arrived. She alone brought them notoriety. But they seem determined to minimize her.
caitlin Clark needs to go to the raven johnson school of defense in off-season,
playoffs r a different half court beast, this going to keep happening unless fever put together better regular season, and seriously Clark learns to play better d, to much trying to knock ball out from behind, in college no big deal, in pros u now let a scorer rim run yes great o player, but the d has got to improve a lot, they can't run full court d with her out there, and in playoffs d matters!!!!!!

You really cant read plain English in the post two above yours? It literally shows his name and when he posted. But thank you for finally admitting you dont have the mental facilities to read and understand plain English.
And I know you get confused, A LOT. Which is why you think this thread proves anything. LOL
18 certainly complimented her, but I dont see where he said that meant she couldn't lose a game, and was going to win the title, like you said.
