Fox News Is Now Neck-and-Neck with MSNBC in the Ratings;
The New York Times Notices That Ukraine Has a Lot of N@zi Supporters in the Military

As you know, Fox lost 32% of its primetime audience since they indulged their Corporate Id and fired the one guy willing to roast the corporate elite.

Megyn Kelly talked about Fox's ratings. (I have to link her because I didn't find a link to whichever source she's reading from.)

In may, MSNBC had 120,000 average primetime viewers aged 25-54 ("in the demo," according to industry parlance). Fox beat them, but only with 135,000. Tucker used to get 270-350,000 viewers "in the demo," IIRC.

So Fox narrowly escaped being dethroned in May -- but it's coming. On Monday, Jesse Waters nearly lost to Joy Reid -- Joy Reid! -- and did lose to the Sassy Racist on Tuesday. No disrespect to Jesse Waters, but obviously he wasn't losing to Joy Reid before the Tucker firing.

Harris Faulker is the fill-in host for the 8pm (Tucker) hour this week; on Monday, she lost to both MSNBC and, preposterously, even the lowly clownshow CNN. No disrespect to her either, but we're just not having it.

Hannity lost to both Rachel Maddow and, again, CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday.

They've lost 62% in primetime, in the demo, year-over-year, she says.

Fox is now just edging out MSNBC, which it used to trounce. And of course they got BTFO by Tucker Carlson, doing his "low-budget basement show" on Twitter.

Jun 7
Primetime (8-11) ratings last night:
CNN: 569,000
Fox News: 1.73 million
MSNBC: 1.86 million

The first episode of Tucker Carlson on Twitter: 63 million (so far)

The New York Times has previously smeared anyone who very factually pointed out that Ukraine has a problem with Neo-N@zis in its military was an agent of Russia spreading Russia propaganda.

Now they notice: Say, we keep seeing N@zi pins and regalia on Ukraine troops. That's kinda weird and stuff, right?

Just listen to how this *same paper* described the Azov group in 2015, calling them "openly neo-Nazi."

But then conveniently—as soon as this fact became inconvenient for the US security state's agenda—the ever-subservient NYTimes obligingly changed their tone 👇 pic.twitter.com/8BNC8EdAlO
— System Update (@SystemUpdate_) June 6, 2023

Even in now admitting that maybe there might be some support of N@ziism in the Ukraine military, the New York Times urges we all have perspective about this and allow that other countries may have histories and traditions we might not understand.

The Times says the N@zi imagery on uniforms just raises some "thorny issues about history."

Nazi Symbols on Ukraine's Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History

Ohhhhh.... Thorny Issues of History. You mean, we have to view this in the context of Ukraine allying with Nazi Germany against the hated Russia?

And this sub-hed;

Troops' use of patches bearing Nazi emblems risks fueling Russian propaganda and spreading imagery that the West has spent a half-century trying to eliminate.

As I think Jimmy Dore pointed out: They mean that it's a problem that some Ukrainian units are marching with N@zi symbols because that might prove that the "Russian propaganda" stating that some Ukrainian units are marching with N@zi symbols.

And we can't let the people marching with N@zi symbols validate the "misinformation" that people are marching with N@zi symbols.

Do you see now, Winston Smith? At long last, do you see?

Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine last year, the Ukrainian government and NATO allies have posted, then quietly deleted, three seemingly innocuous photographs from their social media feeds: a soldier standing in a group, another resting in a trench and an emergency worker posing in front of a truck.
In each photograph, Ukrainians in uniform wore patches featuring symbols that were made notorious by Nazi Germany and have since become part of the iconography of far-right hate groups.
The photographs, and their deletions, highlight the Ukrainian military's complicated relationship with Nazi imagery, a relationship forged under both Soviet and German occupation during World War II.
That relationship has become especially delicate because President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has falsely declared Ukraine to be a Nazi state, a claim he has used to justify his illegal invasion.
Ukraine has worked for years through legislation and military restructuring to contain a fringe far-right movement whose members proudly wear symbols steeped in Nazi history and espouse views hostile to leftists, L.G.B.T.Q. movements and ethnic minorities. But some members of these groups have been fighting Russia since the Kremlin illegally annexed part of the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014 and are now part of the broader military structure. Some are regarded as national heroes, even as the far-right remains marginalized politically.
The iconography of these groups, including a skull-and-crossbones patch worn by concentration camp guards and a symbol known as the Black Sun, now appears with some regularity on the uniforms of soldiers fighting on the front line, including soldiers who say the imagery symbolizes Ukrainian sovereignty and pride, not Nazism.

Um, the skull and crossbones is also a pirate symbol. I just want that to be clear.

Here's where we get the "Ukrainians are just wearing N@zi symbols to celebrate their heritage" apologetics.

...
The Soviet Union signed a nonaggression pact with Germany in 1939, so it was caught by surprise two years later when the Nazis invaded Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. Ukraine had suffered greatly under a Soviet government that engineered a famine that killed millions. Many Ukrainians initially viewed the Nazis as liberators.
Factions from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and its insurgent army fought alongside the Nazis in what they viewed as a struggle for Ukrainian sovereignty. Members of those groups also took part in atrocities against Jewish and Polish civilians. Later in the war, though, some of the groups fought against the Nazis.
Some Ukrainians joined Nazi military units like the Waffen-SS Galizien. The emblem of the group, which was led by German officers, was a sky-blue patch showing a lion and three crowns. The unit took part in a massacre of hundreds of Polish civilians in 1944. In December, after a yearslong legal battle, Ukraine's highest court ruled that a government-funded research institute could continue to list the unit's insignia as excluded from the Nazi symbols banned under a 2015 law.
Today, as a new generation fights against Russian occupation, many Ukrainians see the war as a continuation of the struggle for independence during and immediately after World War II. Symbols like the flag associated with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Galizien patch have become emblems of anti-Russian resistance and national pride.

Leftists and the New York Times -- same difference -- have never once offered this rationale as a mitigation for someone flying the Confederate flag. As even the liberals of The Hill point out.

Don't Southerners have a sense of history and pride? Don't they too have memories of being defeated by an invasionary force?

But now that the Blessed Ukrainians are prancing around in HitlerWear, we need to view symbols of white supremacy in their proper historiocultural context!

Once again, I was rooting for Ukraine. I bought into the propaganda and believed for a while they could... win, even though that now appears to be an unbelievable thing to have ever thought.

BUT I WILL NOT STAND TO HAVE THE REGIME LIE TO US AND SMEAR THE PEOPLE TELLING THE TRUTH AS "TRAITORS."

You know, The Regime calls this "mal-information" -- true statements which they deem to be harmful and false because they lead to conclusions and opinions The Regime wishes to outlaw.

I saw someone on Twitter note, after years of attacking everyone on the right as a "white supremacist," the New York Times suddenly discovers nuance in support for actual N@ziism.

I want to see the cable subscriber rates. How many people were watching Fox just to get Carlson, and how many were subscribing to cable just to get Fox? Given how much Fox's viewership has fallen, it's clear the answer to the first is "quite a damn few."

Of course.

68 @13: "... difference between "video views" and "impressions"?"

There's no hard and fast rule about either. Some companies use the terms differently or interchangeably. It kinda reminds me of "sex" and "gender" which used to have different technical definitions once upon a time before the activists started blurring the line deliberately.

From Twitters Developer support docs:

"VIDEO METRICS -- There are a couple of different metrics that represent impressions of media within Twitter. The first of which is our video views metric, which relies on the MRC standard of 50% of the video in view for at least two seconds. The second is Media Views, that includes all views (autoplay and click) of your media counted across videos, vines, gifs, and images."

So, yes, if you are quickly scrolling a Twitter timeline, and you pass by a retweet of that video but never slow down to see what it is, then it counts as a "view" as long as it was on your screen of TWO SECONDS.

69 Hi Ace,
Long time lurker (literally over a decade) first time poster. I know people get banned for posting on old stories so I wasn’t sure if I could comment on it or post it here.
I use to work in IB (investment banking) and now my own RIA shop. I worked on some media deals for some Hollywood adjunct companies. A few you might’ve heard of. I wanted to comment on the Mr. Doomcocktease rumor you posted yesterday. Specifically that they’re looking to sell off LucasFilms.
I would be willing to put a lot of money on the line that they have near zero interest in selling LucasFilms. Especially given how low of valuations all Hollywood public assets are going for right now. All of the comps for Disney are 2x to 3x lower. Save Netflix which is more of a trading stock instead of an investing stock.
The second issue outside of valuations is who the buyer would be. You mentioned George Lucas, but he’s old. And likely doesn’t have the money. After taxes he probably only received net 2B in cash from the sale, depending on how much debt was on the company. So unless the deal is for less than 1.5B I don’t think he’s liquid enough to justify doing it at his age.
Plus losing close to 3

72 Plus losing close to 3B in value would destroy the image that Bob Iger wants to project, one of a great deal maker.
No what I think Mr. Doomcocktease actually heard about was an asset back bond sale. Possibly to a private party. Or some other kind of cash infusion for future revenue share. Maybe a deal with Lionsgate to co-produce some content, or the above mentioned Netflix. That I’m not entirely sure about. What I am sure of is Disney will not sell LucasFilms while Iger is at the helm. He cares more about his own PR than he does the company.
As an aside I also started a youtube stock focused channel and talk about Iger and how bad he is as a CEO of Disney and the specific problems Disney has been facing, I talk about the mess of stars wars but from a financial POV here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRnFB8OptHQ
Really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work!

110 @18: "I wonder how they get the "views, no just impressions" figure. 24 million is a big number."

My best guess is that "impressions" in this context is the top line maximalist number, and it's the same thing that Twitter calls "views" on the tweet itself. And "views" in this context is actually a rough count of unique viewers with duplicate views by the same users removed, but still using the ridiculous "on someone's screen for two seconds regardless of whether they requested the video or not."

Love him or hate him, you really do have to appreciate what Trump has sacrificed to date. This wasn't a guy in a nothing-to-lose situation. He could've stayed out of politics, hosted The Apprentice until he died, experienced a Martha Stewart-pop-culture-esque explosion, hung out on luxury yachts with the likes of Bezos, bought into a sports team, etc.

Instead, he took his golden years and decided to put them at risk.

He may not be the fire and brimstone killer that is needed right now but there are times where we should all step back and truly appreciate what this man has given.

158 After taxes he probably only received net 2B in cash from the sale, depending on how much debt was on the company. So unless the deal is for less than 1.5B I don’t think he’s liquid enough to justify doing it at his age.

He has a great deal of money from residuals, sales, merchandizing etc from the property before the sale, and I have no doubt that adds up to significantly more than 500 million.

160 When the current unpleasantness between the Slavs began, there was a lot of propaganda dumped in our local synagogues about the importance of American Jews supporting our "Ukrainian Jewish brothers and sisters," and emphasizing the long and distinguished history of the Jews in Ukraine. I got stared at for mentioning the less-than-hospitable behavior of most Ukrainians throughout that long and distinguished history, and that there would be many more of those Ukrainian Jewish brothers and sisters if not for the Germans -- and the heroes' welcome and enthusiastic backup those Germans received upon arrival in Ukraine. Turns out that the only objective positive fact about Ukraine as far as Jews are concerned is that their president is a Jewish showbiz guy turned politician (not coincidental that those two professions are held in very bad odor in our ancient documents, being closely associated with Roman decadence and brutality). Like that's important.

205 Before everyone starts sucking five guys burgers, I should note video views typically counts when someone has viewed the video for at least 3 seconds.

A 100% video completion rate is how many watch the full video beginning to end. Typically that accounts for 3% to 6% of video views.

So if say Tucker got 100 million view, 3 million actually watched it beginning to end. Thats still more than Fox, and the number is even higher if people watched just half of it (maybe roughly 10 million?).

But if you're wondering why Tucker could get 100x views of Fox on just one social channel thats basically why.

So they changed his symbol to something else that sucks. They took away his guns and gave him a sword, because killing people that way isn't as bad somehow. Then they had him demon possessed.

229 A 100% video completion rate is how many watch the full video beginning to end. Typically that accounts for 3% to 6% of video views.

Something that a lot of people don't really consider is how this kind of content is consumed. People don't sit and watch the video often, especially this kind of content; its just one dude talking to the camera.

People listen while they do other stuff. The sound in a youtube video matters much more than the video unless its mostly visual content. Clever youtubers edit funny clips and bits in the middle of the vid to keep attention but mostly people consume this stuff while gaming or reading another website or doing something else like exercising.

Since the coup in 2014 the Azov and other N@zi aligned military and paramilitary groups have been embraced and expanded massively until they constituted about 25-30 percent of all forces at the outbreak of the war.

The coup government was reportedly worried about counter coups from the armed forces who they viewed as too pro-Russian to be trusted and they wanted these troops as a counterweight to defend the regime.

This is an exact parallel of how and why the N@zi government in Germany pre and during WWII built a parallel army called the SS.

I've said for quite some time that we will need a miracle to hit 270, and it will involve a sense of anger, righteous vengeance, etc. We've got an opportunity to use the same fire that the left stokes with George Floyd and Trayvon Martins to engage the public on what is going on with our elections. We need to use it. It's a gift, and it will only appear once.

Without that energy and fire I doubt the (R) candidate gets more than 70M votes. A non-Trump certainly won't get record numbers of blacks, hispanics, working class Democrats, etc. like he did in 2016 and 2020.

I thought Slavs were considered subhuman by the Nazis. On the other hand the Ukrainians may not be considered Slavic.
Posted by: NL at June 09, 2023 01:42 PM (eGTCV)

They were. But I think that the Austrian House Painter's minions recognized that the Ukes hated Joos on general principles, and especially hated the Russians due to the Holodomor, and decided that they could use them to perform some of the more unsavory tasks in the war. Then they could liquidate the Ukes afterwards.

This kind of shit goes back centuries with the Russians and Ukes, with the czars and bolsheviks using Uke cossacks as regime enforcers (because the cossacks historically liked bathing in blood, so to speak) and then slaughtering the cossacks wholesale.

The history is so convoluted and fucked up that I don't think anyone really has a good idea if the current Ukes are embracing the ideology because they actually believe it, or just the iconography because they think it looks badass.

Fuck 'em both. They're all uncivilized savages little different than mohammedans, except that the Slavs are actually sort of competent... when they lay off the vodka.

You many not be saying RDS will have 'smooth sailing' but there seems to be a strong insistence that, for one example, his non-NYC attitude contrasted to PDT will win him more votes that PDT would have lost, yet I don't see anyone explaining how that makes a difference in say, those six states that all stopped counting at once.

And how is succumbing to bribery, blackmail and/or threats make one an "operative in the making"? I like what I've seen from him and I don't see anything that makes me think he's a closet commie. How much pressure do you think the asshoes will bring to bear on someone 'not of the body'? What have we seen in DC time and time again?

310 @205: "But if you're wondering why Tucker could get 100x views of Fox on just one social channel thats basically why."

It's a grossly misleading "stat" that people should stop repeating with so much glee. I guarantee Tucker and Elon are laughing about gullibility of crowds whenever they see these numbers splashed around. Both men could provide clear-cut bottom line metric like "unique viewers who watched at least 50% of the total video" but they haven't and it doesn't take a rocket science to figure out why not.
Posted by: Walter Freeman at June 09, 2023 01:51 PM (k1Qly)

Nielsen ratings are similarly created and flawed and touted. They don't care if you only watched for 5 minutes or were in another room the entire time. And of course if you aren't in the program your view is never counted at all, just extrapolated.

The guy who made it found the 23.5m (not 110m) number by embedding the tweet on a webpage like Ace does rather than viewing the tweet on Twitter. There's no official explanation of the discrepancy, and he assumed, on his own, that it's unique views rather than total views. Slapping "views not impressions" on the graph was a guess nothing more.

To plump out units attritted in combat on the Eastern front the Germans used a lot of Russian and ethnic men first in non combat support roles then increasingly in combat roles. They generically were called Hiwis.

The fact that the program the Germans used for Russian POWs started with starve most to death in the field then ship some to Germany to be worked to death encouraged the volunteerism. And many in the USSR had reasons to resent the Soviet State in the first place.

393 349 The Ukies welcomed the Nazis in WW2 because Stalin was trying to clean them out. The Nazis plan for the Ukies was to use them to first clean out the jews, then use the Ukies as slave farmers and clean out the Ukies by working them to death.

While I was in Ukraine the way to understand the country is that it is divided in thirds. The Western third is pro-Euro, the Eastern pro-Russia and the middle is a mix of both with a heavy dollop of Russians. Ukraine got run over three times during the 20th Century - Lenin/Stalin, then Hitler, then Stalin. Its not a nice story.

395 I thought Slavs were considered subhuman by the Nazis. On the other hand the Ukrainians may not be considered Slavic.

Yes, the German Army had planned on arming unhappy Soviet populations, like the people in Ukraine to fight the Soviet Army but Hitler put a stop to it.

Of course all of this is somewhat silly. Ukes and Russians are *the same* ethnic group. And the origin of that ethnic group is partly Slavic AND partly Scandi.

Yes, the central Asian Mongol/Turk/related populations have left a mark too but...its not exactly unusual to see blonde or red headed Russians or Ukes is it?

416 @310: "Nielsen ratings are similarly created and flawed and touted. They don't care if you only watched for 5 minutes or were in another room the entire time. And of course if you aren't in the program your view is never counted at all, just extrapolated."

Not true! There is actual statistical work done by Nielsen. You need to watch more than five minutes. They adjust numbers as best as they can to exclude "idle viewers" who left the television on and left the room. Digital cable boxes allow them to profile individual viewing habits so they can personality type you as a channel surfer with a short attention span when watching anything but sports for example. Their sampling work is very similar to political polling and they factor in demographics. It's not perfect, but it sure as hell isn't analogous to these inflated raw Twitter video numbers. If anything, Nielsen has been accused of lowballing numbers in recent years.

Instead, he took his golden years and decided to put them at risk.

Or, said another way, TUaUR said his best guess was that Twitter's numbers were inflated by 3300% (33x), and no one really knows because they're hiding the most meaningful and relevant metrics.

And I think that's still a little too high and skewed by the fact that Tucker's videos are 10m-12m without commercials compared to 60m shows with them.

I'm not sure if this ruling influenced the attraction of current Arabs to the ideology, or just the anti-Semitism.

Part of it is a reaction to the ludicrous slurping tongue bath that the media and politicians give Ukraine constantly: its full of lies and stupid so people reject it.

Partly its because Ukraine is massively corrupt and tyrannical, and there are no good guys in this fight. So why support them and wave the flag? Its like a battle between soviet Russia and communist China. Who cares who invaded whom? You just hope both lose.

459 Has nobody here ever heard the ancient words of wisdom "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"? To quote Winston Churchill, "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."
Starve my friends and family to death and I, too, would fight with the Nazis to kill Communists. And, as an added bonus, I would get to indulge the old Ukrainian tradition of anti-Semitic pogroms.

461 I've never quite understood why everyone here is so against Ukraine, and I have never understood why this entire escapade could not be described as Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2014 or so. And have been occupying parts of it ever since.

If we go back to 2014 the Ukes have a (mostly) fairly elected government that is friendly with Russia. The Russian people in Ukraine, who make up a large minority, where generally happy with this.

In 2014 Obama instituted a coup which replaced the Russian friendly leader with one controlled by the US. Russia responded by invading and taking Crimea and forcing the Uke government to give autonomy to the ethnic Russians in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government through paramilitaries eventually began to attack the Russian minority in the country launching a dirty war of ethnic cleansing.

Eventually Putin intervened on behalf of the ethnic Russians. Opportunistic on his part? Sure. But if the Ukrainian government stopped the Neo-NAZI paramilitaries from attacking the ethnic Russians Putin's second invasion doesn't happen.

So the ultimate responsibility for all this belong to...Barack Obama and the United States.

They didn't invent it, post WWI there were a lot of chaotic areas in Germany and East Europe where bands of toughs and ex-soldiers moved around looking for trouble. Some were communist to socialist, some were more nationalist-y. As things settled down these got 'captured' by groups and parties and used to crush Communist insurgencies/riots/rallies which most saw as good stuff, but after that these paramilitaries remained and were used for political thuggery.

I can't say I had in-depth knowledge of the twists and turns of the situation at that time, but I was instantly alarmed when in the 6 months pre war Russia repeatedly asked for discussions about the situation and enforcement of the Minsk accords which ended the last war, and Ukraine/EU/UK/USA refused any discussions about it. No matter how suspicious you might be about Russia and diplomacy, you should trust someone who refuses all diplomacy less.

As the war progressed, I got more disgusted with how the Ukraine government treated their own troops who are defending them, making them die in place for useless towns and villages. This reinforced the distrust.

472 Partly its because Ukraine is massively corrupt and tyrannical, and there are no good guys in this fight. So why support them and wave the flag?

Bull.

Ukraine is corrupt, but not "tyrannical". Their threat to the world = zero. They have never, in 200 years, invaded anyone for any reason. They themselves have been picked on kicked around, and invaded a half dozen times in the last 200 years - Turks, Poland, Lithuania, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Russia...etc. Their nickname is the "bloodlands" because so many Ukrainians have been killed in each of these invasions.

gee, after all of that, they are not perfect. Go figure.

They have been trying, for decades to become less corrupt, and join western Europe. Russia invaded to prevent Ukraine from doing this.

They are willing and able to do all the fighting, they just need the guns. And they have been kicking the literal shit out of the Russians. So give them guns and let them do their stuff.

They banned all opposing political parties. They have oppressed the Orthodox church in the area, which many of the residents attend. They have made laws that even taking humanitarian aid in occupied areas is a jail offense.

Tyrannical enough.

I respect the hell out of your posts on this topic.

But this is a fantasy. I've read both accords, and I've read the adherence to same. Neither side bought into it. The friendly pre-2014 take over of Ukraine by Putin seems easily forgotten. One invaded - one did not. One has been demanding the West allow him to re-write the Soviet era security rules for Eastern Europe and one couldn't.

Putin is the aggressor here.
