Joe and Mika's Ratings Continue Collapsing Since They "Slithered on Their Bellies to Lick Trump's Boots"

That quote is from Megyn Kelly.

Remember, the Adulterous Pair had already lost half of their audience. Then, they announced they went to the Wolf's Lair, I mean Mar-a-Lago, to meet with Literal Hitler, I mean Trump.

And their audience dropped by another 15% overall, but far worse, the ratings in the demo most sought by advertisers dropped 41%.

Ratings continue to sunset at MSNBC's "Morning Joe" after the hosts surprised audiences earlier this week by announcing they had gone to visit Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago following years of feuding with him.
On Wednesday, MSNBC's morning mainstay lured an average of 647,000 viewers overall, and just 51,000 viewers between 25 and 54, the demographic most coveted by advertisers in news programming. On Monday, the four-hour program reached 770,000 overall and 86,000 viewers in the demo, meaning Wednesday's overall audience fell by 15% and its viewership among people between 25 and 54 tumbled nearly 41%.
The figures mark the second consecutive decline in viewership since co-anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski told viewers Monday that they had gone to visit the former and soon-to-be next U.S. President at his home in Florida in a bid to reach a sort of detente after years of criticizing him on the program. On Tuesday, the four-hour broadcast of the show captured 680,000 total viewers, and 86,000 viewers among adults between 25 and 54, both representing a decline of 12% from Monday's program.

Breitbart reporter John Carney says he has sources at Comcast who tell him they considered the possibility of attempting to reform the gonzo propaganda and defamation channel, but realized that leftwing activists inside the operation would attack the executives for even trying. (As leftwing activists did at CNN when Chris Licht attempted some minor shifts to bring CNN slightly closer to the center. They ultimately succeeded in pressuring Warner Discovery to fire Licht rather than face a general revolt by their leftwing staffers.)

A source close to the Comcast spin-off decision tells me the fear of the far left inside of the cable networks—especially MSNBC—was one of the reasons they decided to spin it off. They considered trying to reform the programming but believed the internal resistance would be too…
— John Carney (@carney) November 21, 2024

David Strom rounds up some more good news: CNN and MSNBC and other leftwing propaganda organizations will be firing some of their most toxic activists.

The Washington Post is leading the way, but other outlets like MSNBC and CNN will be shedding even more of their worst "journalists" as the collapse of the Pravda Media continues apace.

what the hey: I was informed Monday that I will be removed as senior politics editor at the end of the year. I will leave it to others to explain why." Eggen says he is "crushed" by the news. I have reached out to @washingtonpost for comment.

Don't worry, there's a place for you at Bluesky, dude.

CNN just posted its worst ratings in 24 years.

Long-struggling CNN had its smallest Tuesday audience in 24 years this week among the demographic most coveted by advertisers.
CNN averaged only 61,000 viewers from the critical demographic of adults age 25-54 on November 11, its smallest audience on a Tuesday since June 27, 2000, when former President Bill Clinton resided in the White House.
CNN also had its worst turnout during daytime programming in a decade on Tuesday, as the struggling network managed only 60,000 average demo viewers from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. ET for its worst non-holiday weekday rating since 2014.

As we've talked about before: CNN is asking its top "talent," such as it is, to accept big pay cuts or else to Seek Opportunities Elsewhere. Anderson Cooper cannot continue being paid $20 million per year to deliver among the worst primetime ratings in basic cable TV.

Speaking of massively overpaid toxic pigs:

19 Remember "Springtime for Hitler," the intentionally bad musical at the center of "The Producers" with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel?

Well, apparently someone thought that movie was an instruction manual, not a comedy, and actually came up with an idea for a musical that's more ridiculous, more irrelevant, and more guaranteed to lose money than Springtime for Hitler -- but in real life:

Gay camp Broadway musical about Tammy Faye Bakker Loses $25 million in a matter of days:

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/ 2024/11/21/elton-johns-25-million-broadway- musical-announces-closure-days-after-opening/

Yes, with music by Elton John.

Apparently Tammy Faye Bakker is "popular"with aging queens and trannies -- a status known as being "an icon" -- because she looked like a grotesque parody of womanhood, thus reassuring trannies that their grotesque simulations of womanhood are actually accurate. Or something.

But there aren't enough aging queens are trannies, even in Manhattan, to fill more than a handful of theater seats.

Investors lost $25 million.

There's MUST be some secret backstory - tax writeoff, Ponzi scheme, something -- behind this debacle.

75 Since the election, MSNBC has nosedived 38%, CNN viewership has plummeted 27%, while the Fox News audience has skyrocketed 41%.

We're about to see true state run media. Fox, Newsmax and the like are going to be the norm for every newscast.

Fox going up 41 percent when it was in first place is horrible. We need a channel that gives the other side of reality. I know some are upset with morning Joe and that’s fine. But punishing the entire channel doesn’t appear to be helpful.

We were full of so much shock and rage that we pulled the plug on some sort of sanity and now we will have nothing, unless we tune in again.

Liberal media has never done well. I don't know why. Remember Air America? I really liked it. Nobody tuned in. Not even liberals.

I tried, but gave up. Ed Schultz was usually on at the time I was listening and I couldn’t get past how much his voice and speech patterns reminded me of Rush Limbaugh.

94 Joe Rogan going all in on the Dragon Believer thing was the absolute best response.

I watched the Dragon conversation Rogan had on his show that Joy was ranting about. What she doesn't get is that even if a guest spouts nonsense on his show (in this case a theory that we don't have evidence of dragons because they are like birds, and bird bones don't fossilize), Joe doesn't shut down his guests. He will push back, and make them restructure or reexamine their points. But he has the gift of curiosity, and genuinely wants to understand others' POVs and examine them and hear them out, no matter how ridiculous what they say might be. He's not afraid of differing weird POVs. He is confident in his ability to gather data and come to his own conclusions, and trusts his audience to do the same.

That is rare in media. Leftist media has a dogmatic POV and beats you over the head with it, and shuts down anyone that thinks differently.

Judy Garland sang "Over the rainbow" (hint, hint), Elton John was, as you know a gay singer who was very successfu and flamboyant. I don't know what the attraction was about Streisand is.

Tammy Faye was sort of over the top in her looks with the puffy hair and huge eyelashes and she was remembered as someone who was kind to gays after she left Swaggart.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

Almost all icons are aging female divas.

Elton only counts as an icon because he himself is an aging queen -- sort of an honorary membership into the club.

A partial list of people deemed to be "icons" for the drag queen crowd include

Judy Garland
Diana Ross
Barbra Streisand
Cher
Madonna
Carol Channing

What do they all have in common?

-- All are known to be "difficult" bitches
-- All have a sort of drag-queen vibe -- instead of appearing to be actual women, their fashion sense, hair styles, make-up and personalities more resemble those of drags queens, especially on the downside of their careers
-- All are self-important narcissistic "divas"

At least that's the best explanation i can come up with.

The screeching harpies on the View are genuinely uncurious about the world around them. They've constructed a safe bubble of correct thoughts and feelings that they must now reinforce. People like Rogan don't have such a bubble, or are happy to puncture the bubbles they do have if they are wrong, and are happy to puncture the bubbles that society has built.

294 Fen and Red Turban, I've researched this, because I research weird things. The original pride flag had 8 colors. They could only print 6 colors because of manufacturing limits in the 70s.

"In the late 1970s, Harvey Milk – a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the first openly gay man elected to public office – asked his friend Gilbert Baker to design a symbol to represent (what was then referred to as) the gay community. Baker collaborated with his friend Lynn Segerblom (also known as Faerie Argyle Rainbow) to design the rainbow-striped flag with eight colors.

Baker and Segerblom’s flag debuted at the Gay Freedom Day Parade in SF in 1978. Each of the original eight colors had their own unique symbolism. Hot pink: sex; Red: life; Orange: healing; Yellow: sunlight; Green: nature; Turquoise: magic and art; Indigo: serenity; and Violet: spirit. The original flag’s hot pink and turquoise stripes were soon removed because of difficulty manufacturing and/or dying the fabric, resulting in the six-color rainbow flag we are familiar with today."

Multiple re-entry vehicles, deployed exo-atmospherically, entering at high hypersonic speeds. Presumably kinetic kill payloads (no large explosions upon impact).

As I have noted all along during the "WWIII!!!!! eleventy!!!" hyperventilation sessions, Russia has many ways of "escalating" if it chooses. And Russia is winning on the ground, only place it counts, anyway (glacially, but as inexorably as a glacier as well).

Tammy Faye was raised Pentecostal. Most of those ladies couldn't wear makeup back in the day. At least some of the Pentecostal churches have relaxed those rules. I know a lot of Pentecostal ladies who love being able to wear their makeup and bling now.

But remember, Comcast is already spinning it off and cutting ties - so all the execs with pull are already bailing. The ones that are left are going to be short termers who can rip as much cash as possible out of it before it goes belly up. And of course that will make the process happen even faster.

Not necessarily benign. Here in IN at a store 1/2 mile from us a nutso went in to shoot up black people. He had horrible aim and nobody was injured but only because he apparently didn't know how to use his weapon.
On the other side of town a man had a disagreement with the lady who was supervising the U-Scans, he went out, came back with a knife and killed her.
In MI, before we moved, a guy who heard voices went to a large grocery chain looking for an elderly person to kill. He knifed some poor old guy to death. He was stopped by a woman carrying, who held him until police got there.
So, just fyi. I don't think anyplace is benign with all the crazies out there.
