NONsense. IT’s ALL about the money:
They are just after the same ‘low-sales-resistance’ audience as the Democrats.
“MSNBC ranked #1 in weekend sales prime (Sa/Su 7p-2a) for the 7th consecutive month among A25-54.
MSNBC ranked #1 among African-American viewers in both A25-54 and total viewers in all key dayparts.
MSNBC ranked #1 among Hispanic viewers A25-54 in M-F primetime and M-Su primetime.”
The link doesn’t mention gender, but I’d bet a pony they are successful in the ‘dumb slut’ demographic too.
Advertisers LOVE these demographics.
CNN and MSNBC’s problem is they are fighting for the same demographics.
“MSNBC ranked #1 among African-American viewers in both A25-54 and total viewers in all key dayparts.”
You are exactly right with your comment. I have spent week-long training times with African-American co-workers, and the ONLY channels they ever watch are BET, MSNBC, and CNN (and they mostly just leave the TV on BET).
