The Morning Rant: Buck Shots – 6/20/2022

Get Woke Go Broke – ‘Live PD’ Is Coming Back, But Not on A&E Network

In the wake of the George Floyd incident in 2020, the woke executives at the A&E cable network decided to demolish their network to show solidarity with the “Defund the Police” movement.

To show that they hated the police just as much as other good leftists, A&E executives canceled its flagship show, “Live PD,” which was one of the most popular shows on any network, broadcast or cable. The show broadcast live footage of police officers at various police departments across the country responding to calls. Dan Abrams played the role of host, with two sidekicks providing commentary.

Live PD is coming back to cable this summer but on a different network (Reelz) and with a new name, “On Patrol, Live.” But it will otherwise be mostly the same show, once again hosted by Dan Abrams, with Sean “Sticks” Larkin adding commentary.

How damaging was A&E’s decision to suspend its ratings juggernaut? It was catastrophic.

Immediately after the network canceled ‘Live P.D.,’ the cable channel’s primetime viewership declined 49% — or pretty much by half. That’s no surprise since at the time of its cancellation, ‘Live P.D.’ was A&E’s highest-rated program and occupied multiple evenings on the schedule.
Since then, things have been a bit better — but barely. For the…second quarter of 2021, A&E was down 42% in total viewers from the same time in 2020, averaging 495,000 overall primetime audience members compared to 852,000 the year before.

A&E was the 20th most watched network (including both broadcast and cable) in 2019. By choosing to run off half its audience when it canceled Live PD, A&E fell to 28th place for 2021.

Reelz is currently the 89th ranked network. For now. It should pass A&E soon.

By the way, did I mention that A&E is owned 50% by Disney? There are plenty of woke executives in corporate America, but have you ever seen a company whose executives are so willing to destroy the business they run, just to burnish their woke cred?

David Brooks – Sportsball Fan

Appearing on PBS News Hour, the New York Times’ faux-conservative columnist, David Brooks, said that Nancy Pelosi’s J6 committee “has moved the ball from the 95 yard line to the 99 yard line.”

Mr. Brooks really dunked the puck in Trump’s face with that comment. If this weren’t PBS, where decorum matters, Brooks might’ve followed with a touchback dance right there in the studio, followed by a theatric spike of the hockeyball.

More Fake Journalism from the Associated Press

It’s not even been a month since the Washington Post was forced to issue multiple corrections for a Taylor Lorenz piece that was riddled with falsehoods, including the outright lie that the subjects of her smear declined WaPo requests for comment, when in fact the Post never even tried to contact them before publishing the article.

Now the Associated Press has been busted for the same type of false reporting.

AP called out for publishing interview with radio host who died years ago, issues correction [Fox News – 6/11/2022]

The Associated Press published a report Thursday about Miami conservative radio hosts objecting to the Democratic Party’s push to buy up Spanish radio stations in the area, and somehow featured a recent interview with a famous radio host who actually died in 2020.

The AP issued this comically awkward correction:

MIAMI (AP) — In a story published June 9, 2022, about the purchase of Spanish-language radio stations, The Associated Press erroneously identified a woman as Martha Flores, former host of a show on Radio Mambi in Miami, one of the stations in the proposed deal. Flores died in 2020. The woman’s identity was unclear but she attended an event expressing concern with the sale held by a coalition called the Assembly of the Cuban Resistance.

In other words, a random old Cuban lady at an event held by an anti-communist organization in South Florida declined to talk to an AP reporter. That was all the info needed for the AP - an elite, left-wing, disinformation-pushing media outlet - to try to smear one of its ideological opponents, who they didn’t realize had passed away.

Ron DeSantis’ press secretary never misses a chance to give some well-deserved mockery to the media outlet that she refers to as “American Pravda.”

And never forget, we need the news because they have editorial standards and extensive systems in place to ensure accuracy and prevent bad information from publication. These safeguards, which are not present in the "citizen press" like blogs, make them a vital part of our information chain and they are crucial to our society.

Yes. They work for large enterprises with a lot of capital and ready access to the capital markets. Not all of them are in this group, but many are. This will continue so long as capital flows are influenced by a handful of megafunds with their ESG shit, and as long as the customers keep buying, and as long as profitability doesn't matter because the credit keeps flowing.

Credit is harder now, which is going to have huge consequences on this shit, but ESG is still a major force courtesy of Vanguard and Black Rock among others.

At 0.5% rates, you don't have to make a profit at all - so long as you started when the rates were higher. You don't even need to break even.

Until, horror of horrors, rates go *up.* Then you get monkey-hammered and go bankrupt immediately because you're not running a real business, you're running a zombie.

178 It is widely seen that the U.S. House Select Committee about January 6 is falling flat. See, e.g., Breitbart's article, "January 6 Committee's Third Hearing So Boring NBC Cut to Golf Instead." (For golf to be more interesting, it's bad.)

What's more amazing is that no clue has penetrated the fog of Democrats, establishment Republicans, the news media, or far-left activists about why. Our political class is so out of touch that it could not see this collective yawn coming.

And no, this is not about interviewing that one magic witness. It is the fundamental concept of their entire effort that the American people see through like a windowpane. There are no additional witnesses or documents that can save an enterprise doomed from the start.

206 Sorry to off O/T, but I have a question for HVAC-competent morons.

I will be having company in a couple of weeks and they like things a *lot* warmer than I do. To keep myself from being miserable, I want to block the registers in their rooms. I know this is reported as possibly having bad consequences (increased pressure and humidity, which could cause issues in the heat exchanger), but I don't how serious it is. I would be blocking 3 vents in one path (upstairs) and 1 vent in the other path (downstairs), which would leave 8 unblocked upstairs and five downstairs. All of the blocked registers would be at or near the head of the chain (closest to the blower), with everything downstream still open.

Is this actually a bad idea and I should suck it up and deal with it for a few weeks, or is it okay to block them for a month or so?

Oh, no. The current model for economics is to be terrified of liquidity traps, and that everything must be sacrificed to avoid that.
Deflation is part of that, but it is because the theory thinks people hoard money in preference to goods, waiting for the price to go to zero, or something.
This is because Keynesian don't consider time preference as being important

CNN+ would've gotten there, probably even more, if it had been the only option. CNN+'s problem - and it's a problem shared to a smaller degree by all of the news organizations - is that there's too many of them. The market is already oversaturated and they tried to launch yet another channel. If there was just one communist news outlet, it would have 20% of the people as customers. Sadly for them, there are like a dozen of them.

How about this for a solution?

Subsidized mortgages for people with bad credit scores? We could bundle them all into incomprehensible balls of financial nonsense that will help us mitigate risk by putting all of the risky things together into one device with no balancing good investments?

It can't go wrong!

At 0.5% rates, you don't have to make a profit at all - so long as you started when the rates were higher. You don't even need to break even.

Until, horror of horrors, rates go *up.* Then you get monkey-hammered and go bankrupt immediately because you're not running a real business, you're running a zombie.

384 I'm reminded of another time A&E cancelled its best show for a stupid reason. This would be 20 years ago when "Nero Wolfe," its highest-rated show that was all set to start a third season, got cancelled. Why? Because of a new CEO who decided reality TV was the future and threw away everything A&E had to go all-in on reality TV. Wouldn't even give any of their current shows a chance to compete with new reality series offerings. Just straight-up cancelled them all regardless of how good they were (and "Nero Wolfe" was *very* good) or how well they were doing.
