Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Creaky Ancient Leftist Mike Barnicle Tells MSNBC: "I Don't Know How We Make Ourselves Relevant Again"MSNBC has lost half of its audience. It's not just that the Democrats lost an election. It's that MSNBC essentially guaranteed their audience that the Democrats would win, finally convincing the slow-witted cultists who watch the network that it has been feeding them nothing but lies for ten years. So of course they're whining about alternative news sources beating them. At least they're finally grasping that they're no longer relevant:

Rick Wilson, a former Republican political strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, announced that he’s a senior adviser to a new group called the Two Plus Two Coalition. According to the New York Times, the group plans to target Musk and Rupert Murdoch by uncovering “the hidden sources of disinformation and expose them for what they are,” and operating “as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.” The coalition, the Times said, “asked donors for a minimum investment of $1 million, and was aiming for an annual budget of $10 million to $15 million.” Posted by: Jay in PA at November 19, 2024 02:37 PM (i7Q7S) 31

Their characterizations of "influencers" as sources of news reveal quite a lot about them. First Mika's boy says someone weaving a basket might look up and tell the viewer to vote for someone. Then they say they don't know how they'll compete with someone doing a twenty second snippet to describe all of the news of the day that someone might watch while holding a coffee cup and walking with a crowd.
One of the things they're obviously ignoring is how democratized information can be now. Kamala might spend half a million dollars putting together an ad that takes many hours to script, produce, shoot, etc. and it only takes a crowd of thousands of people a minute or so to find authoritative quotes that rebut the claims in the ad. CNN might spend a whole day consulting with NGOs, the White House, paid "experts" etc to come up with a smear attack on Trump, and the public crowd of thousands can tear it apart within minutes of CNN airing their attack. Democrats and their media were used to being able to flood the entire information stream for months with their attacks, and eventually even people who never watched the news would be repeating their talking points. Not anymore. Posted by: bonhomme at November 19, 2024 02:44 PM (Odg76) 93

Of the world's two most authoritarian religions, it looks like Islam will reform itself before the Democrat Party.
I mean, there's nothing in the party that will allow it to reform to a more centrist, middle class party. Their radical base will not allow it. They are driving the "we lost because we didn't yell loud enough" response to 11-5. Which is only going to amplify the exodus from their party. Another reason is, the only ones who could reform it would be former Republicans. But all the Republicans who have left in the last 8 year were insincere grifters not at all interested in conservative ideas. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at November 19, 2024 02:45 PM (kPo9j) 104

Putting aside biases and propaganda, etc. -- the entire programming model of cable news channels just sucks. They need to fill 24 hours of news with brief segments. By design, that's going to mean very curated, only telling one side of a story. Cable news tried to get around that with Crossfire or Hannity and Combs or whatever, but all of those ended up being annoying shouting matches between talking heads. I just don't think traditional broadcast TV or even cable is a great medium for news. Nor has it ever been. Then you add in the fact that literally trillions of dollars ride on how people in the US vote, and of course there is a HUGE financial incentive to turn every channel in to a propaganda channel.

How to compete for people who only get their news in 20 second snippets? We used to have one voting day and on that day - for the most part - only people with skin in the game who were seriously engaged with the political current events bothered to vote BECUASE IT WAS INCONVENIENT AND YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY HAD TO WANT TO VOTE. Now with vote by mail, early voting, ballot harvesting, etc you must fight for the segment of the population who vote via headlines and soundbites. Until we make voting harder than buying a gun (to use the Left's favorite analogy) we will just have to accept them.

Here's the secret- the on air "talent" can't make themselves relevant again. MSNBC might be able to make itself relevant again (though, was it ever really relevant?) by hiring newspeople instead of propagandists (good luck finding any with the state of journalism schools and college communications programs these days.) Then get a a group of news analysists who represent a diversity of opinion instead of just a diversity of skin color, gender, and sexual orientation.

Rick Wilson, a former Republican political strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, announced that he’s a senior adviser to a new group called the Two Plus Two Coalition. According to the New York Times, the group plans to target Musk and Rupert Murdoch by uncovering “the hidden sources of disinformation and expose them for what they are,” and operating “as an opposition research firm but with a military-grade intelligence-gathering operation that went far beyond the document vetting typical of a political campaign.”

I don't think it would work. Putting aside biases and propaganda, etc. -- the entire programming model of cable news channels just sucks.
*** It’s also the business model: cable TV audiences are old, getting older, and shrinking. I don’t know anyone my age who has cable TV or satellite. I think most people who see CNN or MSNBC see clips on Twitter or on political sites, like AoS. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the people watching liberal networks were hate-watching short clips to see people like Mika and Joe make fools of themselves. And that’s where most of the power of legacy media is: they shape the conversation by posting rage-bait and pathetic slap-fights, which then becomes a major part of the “social media news cycle.” It’s like the 24 hour news cycle, but with more dunking on one another, It’s the same for NYT and WaPo: once-prominent brands reduced to chumming the Twitter waters with Tranny Outrage Story of the Week. This is why billionaires own these outlets and are willing to lose money on them, because it keeps attention focused away from them and their fortunes.

That works currently because the Conservative side dominates but if it swings the other way then it will be just like cable - biased everything: newspapers (not just the editorial page), blogs, podcasts, radio.
Posted by: Ciampino - see, we're balancing the news at November 19, 2024 02:53 PM (i0xsb) I don't think the conservative side dominates substack or podcasts. For example, Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are Dems. Rogan (biggest podcast) was a Dem until this year. Or still might be a Dem, I don't know. But my larger point is that most issues are nuanced -- talking about abortion doesn't fit in to a 3 minute segment with a host and 2 screaming heads. There is no way to go in depth on that (or any other issue) in that kind of format, even if everyone was arguing in good faith. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 19, 2024 02:57 PM (Evo1G) 190

reporters did everything they could to make sure the story was never about them.
Clete Roberts After serving as a war correspondent in World War II and Korea, Roberts settled in the Los Angeles area and became a respected radio news reporter, eventually turning to television in the mid-1950s at KNXT Channel 2 (now KCBS-TV), the local CBS owned-and-operated station. He anchored a nightly newscast and occasionally ventured to far-flung locations to report on national and international stories, taking with him his own Bell and Howell movie camera with which he shot his own news footage.

I disagree with this deduction. The MSNBC audience is a collective of self-absorbed professional victims. They're out there displaying their well earned depression. They're putting on shows for co-workers, family and friends. Right now, they are being condoned and tolerated. That will end quickly once they aren't getting the attention they think they deserve, and they'll return to their "regular scheduled programming." These people are NPC's and incapable of critical analysis. They need someone to tell them what to do and how to think. That's the purpose of MSNBC (and their ilk). They will return eventually, but first they need the attention they "ultimately deserve." It's how they're bred.
Don't pretend that all of a sudden, these muddle headed nitwits have had an epiphany. They haven't. You're the problem, not them, and not MSNBC. Posted by: Orson at November 19, 2024 03:02 PM (dIske) 219

I keep hearing a lot from Trump people and the incoming Congress about "Immigration and Economy."
Fine and good, but "election integrity" needs to be of equal importance. Listening to Ron Johnson on Charlie Kirk talk about how important it is to audit the vote in WI (and elsewhere). In WI in particular there's a state Supreme Court election in April that could tip the balance to the leftists and, in his words, make it so that a GOP never wins a statewide race in WI again.

BTW, I heard that the massive market rally after Trump's election pushed Musk's net worth back up just north of the $288b mark he was at before he shot $44b on Twitter.
Given that X was instrumental in helping Trump win reelection, I'd say that investment (which I thought was effectively a charitable endeavor) broke even. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 19, 2024 03:12 PM (7oYYI) 268

Conceding all that you said, certain economic realities are setting in anyway. Comcast wants to unload MSNBC because it hemorrhages money. The slump in ratings comes at a terrible time for the 'status quo/tough it out' set. I don't expect Comcast to sit by idly and wait for MSNBC to return to "normal." From a business standpoint, how good was "normal'? MSNBC and CNN both suffer from something called "audience capture." They'll lose their existing audience if they try to move toward the center. Their audience now is a distilled essence of leftism. Posted by: mnw at November 19, 2024 03:15 PM (NLIak) Posted by: Anna Puma at November 19, 2024 03:15 PM (iU/IZ) 276

Posted by: Oldcat at November 19, 2024 03:08 PM (n7h9X) I think they would all call themselves Democrats. Or at least they do publicly. I've been listening to Rogan for, idk, 6-7 years. During that time, he said Obama was the best president ever, he endorsed Sanders, endorsed Tulsi, called Trump all kinds of names, parroted pretty much every leftist talking point Then started moderating after the media said he took horse dewormer and tried to get Spotify to cancel him. Then endorsed Trump. So I guess a bit of an evolution. But if you had asked him two months ago, I'm almost positive he'd say he was a life long democrat.

Twitter has porn? I didn't know that.
Posted by: Jordan61 at November 19, 2024 03:13 PM (DRSnL) Always has. Back a decade ago, Tumblr was the breeding ground for insane tranny, furry, pedo and ultra-SJW stuff. It was mostly contained there. Then Tumblr banned porn. Mostly because they were flooded with kiddie porn and couldn’t separate it from the legal stuff, so they gave up. It caused a mass-exodus of degenerates to Twitter. The tranny/furry/pedo stuff metastasized there and has now gone mainstream. When Musk bought Twitter one of his first acts was to ban pedos. Now those people (or, at least some) are leaving Twitter for Bluesky. It won’t be long before its drowned in kiddie porn.

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director and Pfizer Board Member at November 19, 2024 03:27 PM (FC8SQ) Yeah, I agree. Well, as I've said (to much controversy) since 2016 -- I think the "Bernie Bros" and "Trumpians" are mostly on the same page in identifying the problems. Different solutions, sure. But at least we're all coming at it honestly and in good faith. Big step forward from the corporate propaganda / mainstream political conversations. We can find common ground there. I would put Rogan and Tulsi in the "Bernie Bro" camp. RFK is ... I don't know. Probably not there, but closer to that camp than the Trump camp. In normal times. As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 19, 2024 03:29 PM (Evo1G) 357

Posted by: BruceWayne at November 19, 2024 03:39 PM (CIS44) My idea is food vending machines in every school. Students drop tokens in the machines and out comes an entree with sides.

Let's not pretend public school lunches were anything to write home about prior to 2008.
We've always had barely edible prison food in our public schools. At least in my lifetime. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 19, 2024 03:35 PM (Evo1G) They were better than what was shoveled out during THAT horrendous error of an administration. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at November 19, 2024 03:36 PM (Zz0t1) _______ Changing public school lunches will be hard to do. Like everything else in public schools -- or public anything -- the food service is a cartel with the sole purpose of enriching its owners, managers, and employees. You can feed kids with takeout from Masa every day with what it costs to feed them the sloppy dogshit they actually get. Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 19, 2024 03:41 PM (iFTx/) 421
Well, as I've said (to much controversy) since 2016 -- I think the "Bernie Bros" and "Trumpians" are mostly on the same page in identifying the problems.
Different solutions, sure. But at least we're all coming at it honestly and in good faith. Big step forward from the corporate propaganda / mainstream political conversations. We can find common ground there. I would put Rogan and Tulsi in the "Bernie Bro" camp. RFK is ... I don't know. Probably not there, but closer to that camp than the Trump camp. In normal times. As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 19, 2024 03:29 PM (Evo1G) *** Agreed. Ace linked an article a few weeks ago about how the real battle in America is between—I may be misremembering the terms—but “institutionalists” who think everything is fine, and “brokenists” who think the system is utterly corrupt. The former would include the Obamas, Kamala, Nikki Haley, the Cheneys, Mike Johnson. The latter would include Trump and guys like Rogan, Taibbi, Tulsi, RFK Jr. Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director and Pfizer Board Member at November 19, 2024 03:41 PM (FC8SQ) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 19, 2024 03:42 PM (dxSpM) 423
Do state schools run their food programs like state prisons?? Contracts go to lowest bidders ( including graft) and are delivered in big Sysco System semis once a month??

Joe Walsh = Joe Scarborough. Both are scorned women and hell hath no fury to match theirs. Both sought office from Trump in 2016. Both got nothing and both then proceeded to spend every moment of their existence thereafter seeking vengeance for the slight.

Solution: bring your own lunch.
Simple, really. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at November 19, 2024 03:39 PM (YqDXo) I usually did. But what we're really talking about is the poor kids who get free school lunches because their parents are broke and/or lazy who are forced to eat that garbage daily. Regardless about how you feel about free school lunch programs, I think the least we could do is try to make them somewhat healthy.

More Women Than Expected Are Genetically Men
Sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. Women are XX. Men are XY. However, genetically, a few women are actually men. They grow up as women with a woman’s body, and most only discover well into puberty that they are different. Danish researchers map for the first time how many women are genetically men. The proportion was higher than expected. Posted by: Commissar of Plenty and Lysenkoism in Solidarity with the Struggle at November 19, 2024 03:43 PM (VXcWv) 429
