" Since Election Day, MSNBC as a whole reeled in an average of just 497,000 total-day viewers, a 47% drop, with a paltry 49,000 in the advertising-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, according to data from Nielsen.

MSNBC declined to comment on the ratings carnage. A network source told The Post: “A post-election dip in viewership was always projected and internal thinking is that it will pick up in the New Year, post-inauguration.”

CNN has also seen double-digit losses, falling 33% and reeling in just 357,000 total-day viewers and 65,000 in the key demo. CNN has lost 39% of its total primetime viewership, drawing just 453,000 viewers."

As CNN and MSNBC continue to fade from relevance, I hope their soon to be unemployed news anchors are treated with all the compassion and support as they provided to the coal miners. "Learn to Code" was their advice to the miners.

For the usual suspects who got nothing correct the past 18 months, but were never in doubt about their brilliance. 🍿☮️ “ Kalshi is the first regulated platform in the US where you can trade on events, just like stocks. Think of it as the NYSE, but for things you relate to, care about, and understand.

TV is opium of the people. Ad AI and we are well and truly fucked by amoral greedy oligarchs and the slimy frauds like Trump that front for them.

Orwell stirred fear that a consummate manipulator of information may somehow control our thoughts in a way that is systematic and sustained. He was not alone among prophets of thought control. Karl Marx wrote of religion as the 'opium of the people,'' emphasizing a more passive form of indoctrination. Television has taken us a great distance toward a society in which abbreviated and superficial transmission of words and images is the dominant organizing force. High profit - not ideals of truth or concerns of governance - sets the top priorities of commercial television's organization of our words and images.
