    TL;DR: 301 of the top 400 cable TV shows (for a random week in July) aired on one of these four networks: ESPN, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.

      Sports and news, not at all shocking. The only things that aren’t worth watching after the fact.

          Call it whatever you want, it doesn’t affect my point. Not much value in watching something CNN aired 3 days ago, right?

            No value in watching something CNN is airing in 3 minutes. It’s all trash made to control Americans

              OK we get it, TV news is trash. I’m not really talking about the quality of it, I’m just explaining why it’s still one of the few things keeping old-school cable going. If you’re the kind of person who watches TV news, you watch it that day. No one’s going back in time and watching every single episode of Tucker Carlson or Rachel Maddow just for kicks.
