Brian Williams always gives me the feeling that he’s a man who is desperate to have people not find out how stupid he really is.

“Nightly” averaged 2.18 million 25-54s last week, the week ended May 13. The newscast also saw its total viewers average slide to its lowest point in months, 7.16 million. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Let's see...total viewership of 7.16 million, of which 2.18 million was 25-54. Since "Nightly's" viewership among the under 25 demographic is approximately zero, that means that roughly 70% of their audience is over 55.
That's a viewership profile that's doomed to fail over the long run.

a lingering backlash over the network's use of footage of Virginia Tech shooter Seung Hui Cho’s final diatribe last month. About time these media clowns had to pay the piper for something.

The graph is severely distorted by the scale
Last year that chart bottomed out at 25 million. Provided our friends over at network news continue their good work to set the bar ever lower we may eventually see to a distortion free chart that bottoms out at 0.

IMHO, all such graphs should bottom at zero and have an arbitrary timescale, rather than a cherrypick.
Nonetheless, the point is still obvious: the DinoMedia is dying.

Bill O’Reilly has been saying for a while now NBC news is falling through the floor, because of their incredible liberal bias and disrespect for the troops.

The Project for Excellence in Journalism probably uses 1980 as an origin because they started collecting data in 1980. IMHO backfilling data prior to 1980 would show a absolute maximum at a point where only three networks held a virtual television monopoly then show a monotonically decreasing viewership thereafter.

LOL, seems that just about everyone in the old media worked for a democrat at one time or another.
