Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | CNN, MSNBC in Ratings Freefall; Fox News Primetime Now Outdraws CBS, ABC, and NBCJen Psaki is a ratings disaster for MSNBC. The Psaki bomb has turned into a major Psaki dud for left-leaning MSNBC. The embattled cable news network -- which is expected to be spun off by parent company Comcast later this year -- has seen ratings plunge nearly 50% in the pivotal 9 p.m. slot since Jen Psaki took over full-time hosting duties from Rachel Maddow last month. The 46-year-old anchor, who made a name for herself with her quick-witted "Psaki bombs" while serving as former President Joe Biden's press secretary -- but has since insisted she never saw signs of his mental decline -- has drawn an average of 971,000 viewers since "The Briefing with Jen Psaki" debuted on May 6 through May 28, according to the latest Nielsen ratings. That's a staggering 47% falloff from the eyeballs attracted by Maddow and Alex Wagner in the timeslot. The drop-off is even more pronounced in the critical 25--54 age demographic prized by advertisers, where she drew just 78,000 viewers -- a 52% decline compared to the 161,000 that Maddow and Wagner drew during their shows this year.Joy Reid was fired by MSNBC earlier this year due to her own plummeting ratings. The Race Lady now says that MSNBC fired her because... Can you guess? This is too dumb to even write, but she says MSNBC fired her because they wanted to appeal to Trump and were afraid that Reid was getting too close to taking Trump down. Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke out about her show being canceled on Monday, speculating that her race and network "anxiety" surrounding President Donald Trump played a role in her ultimately being fired from the liberal network. "I try not to speculate too much publicly because, again, I can't get inside the minds of other people. But I can tell you what other people have speculated about... There are lots of people at the network who are critical of Donald Trump. I mean, and they're still critical of him, I'm assuming, you know. So I don't think that's [it], but I do know there is a lot of anxiety both there and, I think, in every media. We're seeing it at CBS," she said, referring to Trump's lawsuit against the network over a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Reid spoke with Katie Couric in a video posted on her Substack page and on her YouTube channel. Reid's MSNBC show was canceled earlier this year. "We're seeing it at ABC, where allegedly 'The View' hosts were told not to go so hard on Trump. There's a push for people to, hey, do less Trump. Do more entertainment. Don't be hard on him," the former MSNBC host said, noting reporting that ABC's "The View" hosts were told to tone down their political discussions.Oh, and she insists that Trump really, really thinks about her all the time, Because Racism. Couric pointed out that there was no difference between Reid and liberal hosts Nicolle Wallace or Rachel Maddow, to which Reid responded, "only in one way was I different. I'm a Black woman doing the thing." "I think that there is a difference for Trump in hearing the kinds of criticisms specifically out of a Black woman, it bothers him in a way it doesn't bother him like anything else. He's got this sort of tick about race, you know, and about, sort of criticism coming specifically from a Black woman because we've seen him lay out and dish out real abuse against Black women journalists," Reid said during her conversation with Couric. The sad! thing for MSNBC is that the group of DEI zeroes (including former RNC chairman Michael Steel) they put together to replace the overtly racist Joy Reid are doing even worse in the ratings than she did. At 7 pm, "The Weeknight" was down 36 percent compared to Joy Reid's 1.2 million average last year. On to CNN. CNN already had bad ratings, but now the Coddled Antifa Viewers who rely on CNN to cover them in Bubble-Wrap and protect them from all information that might trigger them are abandoning them. John Nolte points out that Fox News, a cable station, is beating all of the broadcast networks:

I think one of the worst things about this (otherwise wonderful) year so far is having to wait for things I know will happen but keep not happening yet. I'm not even talking about things I am extremely confident about, like lawfare being defeated either on appeal or by the Executive flipping the Courts the bird. No, I mean other "natural course of events" sorts of things:
Hollyweird is going bankrupt. Legacy Media is going bankrupt. Green Energy and Universities are going bankrupt (see Brock Throckmorton's many posts on both, including today's "Morning Rant"). NGOs and even the UN are having major money problems. I know all of these dominoes are going to fall, and yet week after week I don't get the satisfaction of seeing them fall . . . yet.

As people move from cable to streaming, CNN is losing billions in the left-wing affirmative action called "carriage fees," and CNN's advertising revenue must be dismal. If the Trump administration outlaws Big Pharma ads, that might be the silver bullet.

TV news show ratings are garbage these days. There are so many other ways to consume news (like this blog) that actual neilsen type ratings have become meaningless at this point.

The Dems have hurt themselves bad.
Tapper is gut-shot. He's dying and he doesn't even know it. Because the majority media blocks out whatever America is really learning as long as it doesn't benefit the Dems, we can't see it, because it doesn't benefit the Dems. But it's showing itself in ways the Dems can't control, until they find a way to totally hack the ratings system, even if they have to shoot a couple in cold blood 21 times to do so. Tapper proved he's bad at his job (actually not, because his job is Democrat shill)--but the job he's supposed to have. KJP shows that the WH press has been bad at their jobs. I'm not crazy about Fox News, but it does not spend weeks and months and years telling you lies it insists are the only thing you're allowed to believe in. It gets a good number of stories right.

Mmkay, here
C.Jay Engel 🌲 @contramordor 23h Let me explain why we have to choose between the migration agenda and the budget situation. Congress hates you. They don’t represent you. They exist to vote for pork, for fraud, for money flows that benefit various special interests, corporations, and nefarious interests. The entire thing is a conspiracy against your well being. America is bankrupt, it is insolvent, we can’t get our financial house in order. [ . . . ] Congress lives off of budgetary malfeasance like a drug addict lives off his flow of product. They (and their special interests) will refuse to sign anything that doesn’t give them what they want. But almost as important to the special interests are things like replacement migration. The trump administration is offering to give them their financial crack if in return they get a very specific allowance to ignore federal courts on matters of national security. Basically this one liner allows the Trump administration to say that courts have no jurisdiction on deportations, H1Bs [ . . . ] https://tinyurl.com/y76nan67 Posted by: Kindltot at June 06, 2025 07:15 PM (D7oie) 148

I've been watching FoxNews at night since everything has been less than pleasant. Mom didn't like Gutfeld much but I think he's pretty funny. She LOVED Tucker, Hannity and liked Waters..... Cable, phone and internet are $220 a month. Not too horrible... Posted by: Stateless.. 20% - mental state clawing up from 10%, shit happened, clawing back now at June 06, 2025 07:19 PM (jvJvP) 159
A government founded on the disbelief in God has what necessary foundation?
Force of will. AKA a gun barrel Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 06, 2025 07:12 PM (2VST1) --- But the point of atheists stressing this is that there is no necessary conclusion that follows from a disbelief in gods. Much to the ire and chagrin of atheists I point out including that toys come to life when you leave the room, unless the toys are sufficiently "gods" as such. So if we take them at their claim (which is true, but in a limited sense), then a government cannot be about simply a disbelief in God, but about something else. Thus any such government that goes off the rails and does something horrific is "not really an atheistic government". The idea that a logical complement is something to be "about", is simply not the human configuration. So, it's trivially true that no one will kill somebody for the "cause" of a lack of belief in God. However, they will kill people if they find the belief in God destructive and want to quickly, within their lifespan "liberate" people from their beliefs. I can, at any moment of my life, achieve that state of a lack of belief in God. It's trivial. Posted by: Axeman at June 06, 2025 07:19 PM (krQz2) 160

Having never seen Trump say or do a single racist thing, I think she is hard pressed to prove her point. Does she ever actually offer any proof, other than her deluded horsecrap? Why no, no she doesn't.
Racist is as racist does, honey. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 06, 2025 07:29 PM (a4NoL) He joined the Republican Party, which is like joining the Klan... ergo... RAAAAACIST. Posted by: Romeo13 Except the Klan is the Dem party. Posted by: rickb223 at June 06, 2025 07:40 PM (BuA5c) 236
I liked it better when TV wouldn't mention certain terms or run certain ads, like Summer's Eve and Cialis. Seriously, show a little class huh?
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 06, 2025 07:38 PM (2VST1) The funniest ads were the dudes throwing a football through a tire to advertise Viagra or whatever it was. My husband said they should have just thrown the ball at the cat. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 06, 2025 07:40 PM (a4NoL) 237
>MSNBC fired her because they wanted to appeal to Trump and were afraid that Reid was getting too close to taking Trump down.
Sorry, Ace, but that is the funniest shit I have seen all week. Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at June 06, 2025 07:37 PM (ic2Gw) --- Think about it though. It's perfect: Directed victimhood. She's not just a victim, but a victim of Trump! That's got to be the envy of all victim-wannabes. Posted by: Axeman at June 06, 2025 07:41 PM (krQz2) 238
The euphemisms are ridiculous. There was nothing so confusing as the term "feminine hygiene" when I was a preteen. What? I combed my hair and brushed my teeth. What in hell are they talking about?

Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 06, 2025 07:39 PM (6ydKt) I finally cracked and bought a smart phone last year. I was surprised that the phone stores here in smaller area Canada actually lock their doors and let customers in. That was kind of surreal.

Consider how often you hear the word "diarrhea" on television these days. And then they come up with the de-stinker ads. Bleaugh.
Posted by: tcn in AK at June 06, 2025 07:36 PM (a4NoL) I used to laugh at the Pepto Bismol ads that were out the last several years. I'd be thinking how these poor actors had probably worked for years to get a gig in commercials and their big break is dancing around in pink outfits singing about nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, and diarrhea! All their friends probably have that as their call-in ring on their phones. Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 06, 2025 07:44 PM (6ydKt) 242

WTF? Whole body deodorant? I thought that was called taking a shower. Stinky people might consider that once in a while. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 06, 2025 07:30 PM (a4NoL) To be fair (a rare event) some folks sweat excessively in various places due a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond their control.

I've seen where crime in Canada has gone up a lot in the past decade because of Trudeau's policies with letting all the criminals out on bail like they've been doing down here in the big blue cities.

Bloom County was the first thing I’d read in my college newspaper back in my university days (a million years ago). Freaking hilarious

Posted by: Crusader at June 06, 2025 07:51 PM (TN0g+) I got major points in 4th grade for defending my very obese black teacher from a boy telling her she was fat when they got in an argument in class. "It helps keep her warm in the winter." I piped up. Everybody laughed and she loved me to death for the rest of the year. Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 06, 2025 07:54 PM (6ydKt) 257
We have certainly come a long way toward abolishing boundaries since the brassiere ads in the newspaper in the 1960's.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 06, 2025 07:38 PM (2VST1) I for one miss the Mark Eden Bust Developer cream full page print ads in the Ladies Home Magazines. The pictures of ideal bustlines and the ad copy, "full and firm for summer" really made an impression on my burgeoning adolescent self. Posted by: Count de Monet at June 06, 2025 07:54 PM (Aqu9a) 258

Listen, CNN, the problem isn't that you "can be critical of Donald Trump." *I* can be critical of Donald Trump. The problem is your irrational, obsessive *hatred* of Donald Trump, indeed of anything to the Left of Kim Jong-Un. It taints your objectivity and compromises your principles. No, that's too mild. It *shattered* your objectivity and *obliterated* your principles. You allowed it to turn you into an institution that only a complete fool would put an ounce of trust into.
