In Pathetic Bid to Boost Ratings, CNN Goes Full Demagogue Against Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson noted some time ago: With Trump gone, CNN and MSNBC are lacking a hate object, and experiencing low ratings due to this.

So guess what? You're now the designated hate object.

And Tucker Carlson is the new Hate Object.

CNN is the Deplatforming Network. All of their "journalism" is just team-ups with Media Matters and Sleeping Giants to pressure social media companies and advertisers to deplatform/boycott conservative voices.

As CNN's Brian Stelter flounders in the ratings next to Fox News' Tucker Carlson, he's brought out the serious accusations against the Fox host: that Carlson is working "in cahoots" with notorious conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
As CNN’s chief media critic, Stelter regularly focuses his attention on Carlson, who he’s branded an icon of "white male rage and resentment," a "conspiracy theorist," and "the new Donald Trump."

He gives the game away right there. He literally says it: We need a new Donald Trump, and we've decided that Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump.

Audiences don't seem to care, however, and 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' pulled in around 2.8 million viewers every night in June, compared to the 786,000 who tuned in to Stelter's 'Reliable Sources', which has lost viewers every month since President Joe Biden took office. Though the two host shows at different times, they are both seen as representatives of their networks’ political stances.

Carlson, perhaps unsurprisingly, was the object of Stelter's ire again on Sunday night. The CNN host played a clip of Carlson and Jones tackling similar subjects -- the government allegedly monitoring their communications, risks associated with vaccines, alleged FBI involvement in the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill -- before asking fellow CNN journalist Oliver Darcy if "Tucker Carlson is the new Alex Jones?"

Note well that the comparison to Alex Jones is not coincidental. CNN's first big censorship win was getting Alex Jones deplatformed. By claiming Tucker Carlson is the new Alex Jones (and also, the new Donald Trump), they are explicitly calling for him to be deplatformed.

Some of us warned that the Alex Jones deplatforming was just the proof-of-concept run for the new CNN-Media Matters-Tech Monopoly censorship regime. "Respectable" conservatives of course ignored us, and ignorantly dismissed this warning.

They were just too busy sucking off their leftwing Twitter palz to get their faces covered in that sweet, sweet leftwing respectability.

Astonishingly enough, it turns out when you let the left censor people, the left keeps censoring people.

But let's keep giving money to the Conservative, Inc. junior partners in censorship. They really care about our rights.

CNN really needs the a new hate object: their ratings have completely collapsed.

CNN's prime-time ratings have fallen by 68%.

Fox also lost 50%. MSNBC lost 48%.


In the key demo the year-over-year declines in prime time were more dramatic, with CNN slipping a staggering 68% compared to the second quarter of 2020. Fox News saw a 50% drop compared to one year ago, and MSNB'’s decline was just slightly less, at 48%.

Experts say CNN and MSNBC are suffering a massive loss of credibility, if you can believe that. (I'd note that Fox has also lost a lot of credibility with conservatives.)


The second quarter of 2021 saw viewers ditch CNN and MSNBC in droves as experts wonder if the liberal networks can ever recover from a "serious credibility problem" they created by relying on former President Donald Trump for success while ignoring internal gaffes and scandals.

"CNN and MSNBC were one-trick ponies, and that trick was bashing Trump," Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson told Fox News.

"Now that Trump no longer is president, they have tried to keep up the mania, but it's hard. The audience has disappeared because it never was loyal to CNN and MSNBC hosts, it was loyal to Trump hatred," Jacobson added. "It's not hard to imagine executives at CNN and MSNBC saying nightly prayers that Trump runs for president in 2024."

...

Fox News contributor Joe Concha thinks a significant credibility crisis at CNN and MSNBC is going to keep viewers vanishing.

"Q3 will be even worse in looking at the trends for both networks, if that's possible. The numbers are where they are because of two things: Their myopic ratings hook, Donald Trump, isn't around anymore. But more importantly, these networks have a serious credibility problem," Concha said, noting that left-wing stars from each network have recently generated negative headlines but went unpunished.

...

Political satirist and radio host Tim Young agreed that “there’s no coming back” for CNN and MSNBC.

"They based their entire programming lineup on going after the bogeyman they created in Trump, and now that he’s gone, they have nothing to instill the clickbait-like fear from false stories about him to capture their viewers’ attention," Young told Fox News.

The American news media ranks last among 46 countries, as far as public trust in their media.

The United States ranks last among 46 countries when it comes to public trust in the media, according to a report published Tuesday.

The survey, which was conducted in Jan. and Feb. with approximately 92,000 respondents, found that only 29% of those in the U.S. said they could trust most news most of the time, while Finland held the highest level of trust in the media at 65%. The study was commissioned by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, and conducted by YouGov.

The survey also found that trust in the media improved in nearly every country surveyed, but not in the U.S., where the level of trust remained largely flat from the previous year.

...


Journalist Glenn Greenwald described the findings in the report as "unsurprising." "Most amazing is that the corporate sector of the US media is failing in every respect: financially, culturally, collapsing trust. Any other industry failing like this would engage in self-critique, asking why. They never do," he wrote.

Other critics on social media argued that the media needed to "take an opportunity for introspection," and realize that it was not a matter of perception from the public, while some questioned why anyone would be surprised by the data.

15 If there was a serious, nationally scaled conservative outlet, this wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem.

There would be some level of balance within the media news ecosystem that people could rely on. It's not a call for "objective reporting" but for serious presence of bias on the other side.

Right now, the only national opinion is leftist. Even Fox News has adopted it. So, you have half the country (possibly more) who simply don't have a voice at the national stage. Trust plummets.

I would assume the sudden negative turn is actually all Fox News' fault. Before 2020, there was reason to believe on some level that Fox News was somewhat conservative. Conservatives had that at least. And then Fox News decided to make itself obviously an organ of the left, so conservatives' last hope for a voice at the national level in news media essentially folded.

And that is the real Big Lie. The rest is window-dressing - the ratings, the good cop/bad cop, all of it.

For Stelter, this is possibly true. For Carlson, it isn't. Carlson is the odd man out at Fox, and represents not even a single, imperceptible, meaningless element of their C-suite or editorial or newsroom executive staffs. Carlson represents Fox as well as Maxine Waters represents her district.

But this is the lie, that there is an opposition and that their representative is Carlson. They might be right in the latter, but not in the former - Fox is by no means opposition.

So they're all down and down fairly catastrophically. We knew that. From a business standpoint, this should be interesting but it isn't because these outfits are all subsidized.

The more interesting consideration is everything else that's down, too. Sports, entertainment - comedy and drama, cable and broadcast - news, etc. Nothing is up. That isn't possible. So the more interesting question isn't "what happened at the networks" but rather "where is the audience?"

Those people aren't dead. So where are they? YouTube, in aggregate, is doing a bit better. Streaming as an overall sector has increased somewhat, but not dramatically. So where is the audience? My guess: games, or gone. These people had better hope it's games, because they could woo some of those folks back. If they're gone and tuned out, they're unlikely to ever come back and the audience decline is already a secular trend.

43 I honestly don't know if Alex Jones really believes what he's saying or if he's just one of the biggest shit-posters ever, who just happened to pull in so much attention that he became the test-case for de-platforming.

79 I got a hunch that, far from ruining Carlson's credibility by tarring him with the Alex Jones brush, they'll wind up giving Jones credibility by inadvertently pointing out that basically all the crazy shit he's been saying up to now is actually true.

Well, maybe not the gay frogs thing. But still.
Posted by: Warai-otoko


Alex Jones has said that "Tucker gets it.." with respect to a lot of things that are going on.

So maybe Jones has drug Tucker into this, but really, CNN cannot abide that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, is disputing their version of reality.

CNN is an organization full of lying hogwash. 20 years ago, I was watching CNN in Italy (CNN Europe) and it was full-on Marxist then, and I mean literally, not just hyperbole. One of the opinion talkers had a bust of Marx behind her, as she spouted off her opinions.

It seems a bit high, but not by much. I always assumed the breakdown of people is something like:
- a quarter are evil
- a quarter are good
- the remainder will back the strong horse

Take the ratio with generous grains of salt, but it would probably be difficult to get under 20% trust, since that's likely the minimum proportion of the population that is inclined in that direction.

This is a good point and I can expand a bit on the Sports angle.. I know most sports are excusing the ratings drops as either temporary, or irrelevant. I've seen people say that about the NFL in particular, since nothing touches their ratings even if they are down.
What folks forget is how habits are formed and broken. I started watching sports with my dad, it became something we did together and then became something I did. I no longer do it... my son will not watch with me as I will not be watching... so much of sports marketing is building on the past... but for the next generations there will be no foundation to build on.

So when NSA says Tucker is not a target, it probably means he is a target. (even though NSA is supposedly less evil than FBI, idk).

It may be that CNN is seeking a new Trump to boost ratings, and/or maybe it is our "intel community" using their CNN assets to attack "The New Trump" (which they also label as "The New Alex Jones who must be destroyed")


FBI/CIA/DOJ is in a united front (it appears) with DNC/MSM and assorted oligarch/BigTech globalists. One hand DOES know what the other hand is doing, they act together, but claim to be separate. (e.g. my private censorship/spying corporation)

The first few weeks were weird and I sorta bounced about on Sundays. Then I started doing other things. Then I quit missing it. Then I preferred those other things - whatever they were. Looking back, I now consider it a time sink and I am glad they decided they don't want my business anymore.

No, bourbon does get made outside of Kentucky. Jack Daniels doesn't want to be called bourbon, so it calls itself Tennessee Whiskey. However, it meets the definition of bourbon.

234 ... Retailers have known this for decades. If you want to build a regular customer you often have to get them at specific times in their lives where things are in flux: new job, new city, birth of a child, etc. That's when people's habits are open to change. ...

Yes. Retailers have massive data operations to identify exactly these inflection points, namely pregnancy. Pregnancy and moving to a new city are the biggest opportunities to change preferences.

Target was early in this, and they're very good at it. They caused a kerfuffle when their system flagged a customer as "likely pregnant" and they adjusted their marketing and upped the direct mail to her. The girl's dad called them and said, essentially, "it's hard enough keeping her responsible without you inundating her with baby stuff all the damn time." As it turns out, the girl was indeed pregnant - but Target still had to tune their system to *not* activate the marketing stuff if the customer was likely under 18.

And strangely enough, the hypnotic trance has been broken.

If you can find 2012 election night on Fox, pull it up for research to see just how fake and staged it all was. It was MeAgain's coming out party on Fox to enter politics, and she made a clown of herself.

One of Tucker's recent guests mentioned that NSA is "better" and that they are reluctant to give intel to FBI since FBI has abused the "privilege".

Bill Binney revealed long ago that NSA was recording everything (he designed it all, Stellar Wind and all that) ... he recently said he found some of his pains were caused by some tiny chip they had implanted in him ... sounds out there, but believable at the same time. I think he may be in a wheel chair now.

For the same reason we are in decline-cultural choices.

You get the wealth your culture prepares it for.

Tribal politics and radical Islam. Everyone is busy fighting everyone else over grudges hundreds of years old. In addition, most of the major powers bordering the region, Iran, Pakistan, China, etc., have historical reasons for wanting to encourage this sort of infighting. The Afghan tribes, when unified, tended to ride out of the mountains, steal anything not nailed down, nail anything in a skirt, and carry off both back to their fortresses.

Yes. It's the rot at the root of their Postmodern philosophy. Everything is warring groups, and individuals reduce to the group and thus don't exist. Aberration within the group is due to external corruption imposed by other groups as all groups continue the power struggle in which they are mutually locked in pursuit of their group's total dominance over all others.

The "Brazilian" variant represented Beta, the second iteration.

"Delta" represents small changes in math, it's also the four iteration (delta is the fourth Greek letter).

"Lambda" represents anything. In computing, a lambda function is something that's created on-the-fly whenever it's needed. It's discarded right away.
