Not sure why. Criticizing the republican (especially Trump) government will be hugely profitable - just under 50% of the US population (175M people) is looking for such criticism, and there is no one else to do it. Every day there will be many opportunities to discuss/analyze/criticize/mock/fact-check/challenge.

They should be upsizing, not downsizing. My $0.02.

There’s nowhere else besides cnbc, npr, ever major tv talkshow, and everything but Fox News. Oh and every major print publication in the country.

Hehe. You are right. There are many leftist media outlets.

But my point was not to be partisan; just to note that there will be lots of news to cover. Trump is a controversial figure. Every news outlet will profit. Now is not the time to downsize.

I blame the CNN liberal purge a year or so ago.

The quality of their news coverage has plummeted since then, and I get the impression it failed to convert the Trump voters they were trying to attract.

For one thing, Trump made fun of them when they were the first to call some state for him on election night.

It boggles my mind that a news sources job is to “convert” people. Wow…
