The media really seems to be incapable of reading the Nielsen Reports on ratings. From The Other McCain: Vote Trump, and the Media Will Die
There is no better argument for electing Trump again — to announce, in no uncertain terms, that “the mainstream media is dead.”
How many people (not in airports) actually watch legacy media like CNN? I have a TV, I even stream movies to it from time to time, but I don't have cable, or streaming access to local news, or even an outdoor antenna hooked up at the current time. Sitting down to watch the news? Not hardly. I check national headlines, I check the local weather. I follow the topics that interest me. None of it comes from CNN, Fox MSNBC, or the national nightly news programs.
I suppose I do have access to network news by way of Pluto TV, and while I do watch Pluto (or rather, I have it on while I'm doing other stuff), I never watch network or even local news.
The last time I watched local news was when Hurricane Milton was bearing down on Florida, I was watching local news from the Tampa Bay area. Watching local news in an area impacted by hurricane is by far the best way to find out exactly what is going on. The Weather Channel is all about making things look worse than they are. The national news is staffed by people who are confused about the difference between sustained wind speeds and gusts. Local news on the ground in Texas, or Florida, typically understands hurricanes, is interested in getting the most accurate info out there, and all they have to do is look out a window to give you an update.
VOTE TRUMP AND THE MEDIA WILL DIE!
That’s a winning message, I think.
The media is only concerned with what the Democrats think of them. Think of the Russian media in the Soviet Union.
ReplyDeleteSort of. Russia controlled the media under threat. Our media supports the Dems because they want to, not because they have to.
