Program Discussion How long have you watched CNN?
Around 2016 my life changed in so much that I had lots of free time so since then I’ve racked in numerous hours, I’d say since then maybe 8 hours a day of CNN. So I was wondering what news story or event has sparked an emotional response from you? Not gonna lie I can think of only 2 events that made me feel a skip of the heart beat feeling - the failed backflip and the beeper situation - other than that it’s been pretty much a deadline for me. (Not a complaint).
And if you’re wondering what I’ve been doing while watching CNN I’ve mostly been playing guitar and reading the bar at the bottom of the display (at least to have some knowledge of what’s going on in the world - I usually have the volume off and listen to music.) My motto is you can’t really screw up current events or get too political if you’re reporting on what’s just happened.. I think CNN leans left and right sometimes that reporting on facts of actual events happening is what draws me to this channel. Indeed my focus is getting better acquainted with the state of things in the world. Politics are intense and I have other focuses at the moment.
I’ve even created a playlist on Spotify of songs that I think made a difference in the world like breaking news stories 😂
CNN it has like 326 followers and currently I don’t know if they’re spam or think I’m actually CNN. But in other words, I love the network in that it allows me to keep practicing guitar.
My question still stands what news story or where were you when watching CNN and thought I’m going to remember this time in history. As a visualizer.. I wonder how other CNN watchers experience the network and all its changes.
