I watch CNN clips on Youtube with some regularity because sometimes it's stupid guilty fun to listen to a bunch of very well groomed "Senior Political Analysts" put on a show of moral outrage over something batshit crazy that Trump said that week.
But I would never pay for CNN. Their programs are high production quality, but the content is not high quality. It's mostly the same pool of center-left talking heads saying not very smart things about the random political happenings of the day.
If I want to know what happened in Israel today, I can just google news it, and maybe click through on BBC or AJ to read some details beyond the headline.
And if I want thoughtful long-from commentary, I will look for 30-60 minute YT podcasts with historians, retired politicians, etc. For example, recently The Rest is Politics has been great, and there are many others.
- wrp 2y agoI'm not a follower of CNN, but I've heard that CNN USA and CNN International are pretty different. In Korea, CNN seems to have a large following because it allows people to get the news while practicing their English.
