But that too is for entertainment purposes not news and should not be taken as such. That is their stance. So, who are we to tell them otherwise?


CNN says its entertainment as well but here u are telling them otherwise. all while failing a dozen times to even define a word as simple as "news". and u want something other than insults? u want to cry that we're in a debate but u cant answer a simple question so simple that it might be posed to a 5h grade social studies class.

what is "news"? what is "entertainment"? and why does Fox = 0% news, but CNN = greater than 0% news?

all a very simple argument to make using the statistics u mentioned.

Not true secede can be used in place of withdraw from and break away from

Rescind maybe a better word but secede is a synonym for withdraw. Also no one cares.


I care.

The etymology is "to go apart", and the definition is specifically to "break away from", "to go apart from", with "from" being the operative word.

You don't "secede" an object, argument, or point; you secede from an organization, country, or group.

CNN never said they were for ONLY entertainment purposes. For the 5th time.

You've told me something i know as many times as you've refused to define a 4 letter word now.

is there a reason you're so scared to define a word as simple as news?
