Coincidence that it is being held in the Republican chamber, I think not

America just doesn’t care.

The Young and the Restless will draw more eyeballs and more revenue.

The fact that 2 of the 3 nets stuck with this turkey tells you how deeply they’re committed to the Revolution.

This isn’t 1974.

Perhaps it is, to the old bulls who make the programming decisions for NBCCBSABCETC.

The decisions were easier when ABC, CBS and NBC dominated the landscape and were very cognizant of their public service responsibility. Now viewers have options

Ah, competition, what all those Old Media commie bastards despise. Don't worry guys, all the New Media commie bastards are doing their damnedest to keep us rubes in line.

Yet it was noticed when CBS cut off the trial around 3:15 p.m. ET, while rivals ABC and NBC stuck with it.

WOW! I predicted that it would happen today, but I didn't know that it already did happen.

This impeachment programming is like watching a video of piles of human excrement on a SF street, after a few seconds...ugh... turn it off.

They don’t want people seeing it. They want people to watch their re-interpretations on their news broadcasts.

Uncle Walter and his boy, Dan Rather helped bang the drums against Nixon and smarmily removed him. That ain’t happening here. The press is largely silent on the Virginia rally and impeachment. People are pissed, and they know it.

The exact same issue was present during Watergate...and I STILL don’t give a rat’s ass about the “tough time” or the “travails” of the network execs in having to decide what to air at any given time. Phuck’em, they all hate Trump and our Republic anyway - so let them get ulcers and piss off even more viewers.

They are not even going to get the reinterpretations. The majority of the nation has tuned out the MSM.
