Why is CNN even remotely relevant? Their average US show gets less views in a night than a PewDiePie video. Fox News is literally 3-5x their viewership, and unlike CNN is concentrated in a very specific set of demos that is much more open to television news as a format and medium.
That CNN is part of the propaganda machine is doubtless. But they're just not that important compared to the bigger players.

So being "part of the propaganda machine" isn't enough to qualify as "even remotely relevant"? :/ If you value consistency and intellectual honesty you might want to backtrack on one of these claims or at least admit that your statements are obviously incompatible without further qualification. "Even remotely" isn't a very high bar to meet.
