I’m not sure if I’m reading the above numbers correctly, but...
Cable news is down and Fox pulls only 1.75 million a night. Traditional news still pulls 23 million a night, and my guess is that’s mostly boomers and older. Fox is the largest cable news provider watched.
Take the 4 major cable providers and that means about 3 million get their news off cable. It says Facebook news readers get about the same, and online video gets about the same for a grand total of 9 million on cable, facebook, and video. With the broadcast newsers doing 23 million, that means that out of a nation of 300+ million we have about 32 million watching news.
Explains why so many don’t know the name of the speaker of the house or of the chief justice.
It also explains why Americans vote the way they do. They don’t have a clue.
Cable news is all but lost to the left. That is why they full speed into the NFL. Propaganda mixed with corn chips and salsa, they can’t hope to hold someone’s attention otherwise.
The latest...they want to unionize college players.
Class warfare and victumhood will be persistent themes. American football becomes soccer...if your fouled in the game you roll on the ground and play act to get the call. => the left destroys every institution they touch.
Lately my wife and I have started watching local news. We get national and world news off the internet.
Fox isn’t news. It’s a “book of the month” club.
All I know is I watch FNC and switch the channel when Shep comes on and watch any entertaining reruns that are on until I decide to go to sleep. It is all the same news stories hour after hour anyway and I know I will be caught up first thing in the morning on FR or FNC. So tracking my evening news viewing and ratings would put me way into the low info crowd statistics by rating standards.
Not long ago, when Obama heard that many people were having trouble paying for their new, higher ObamaCare premiums, he advised them to cancel their cellphones and cable TV subscriptions.
Apparently, increasing numbers of Obama supporters have been taking his advice. This is what CNN and MSNBC get for hyperactively promoting Obama into the presidency for two terms. If justice is served, Chris Matthews and his tingling leg will spend many future days standing in unemployment lines.
How many hours can you listen to them talk about that missing airplane? Tell us when you actually know what happened, and try reporting what’s going on in the world.
I find BBC is the best for actual reporting.
I can’t stand all the commercials so I get most of my news online. Fox seems to be the worst. One story - six commercials - another story - eight commercials.
