It’s gotta’ be the only good laugh, folks isolated in Lockdown have had in over a year: Democrats and Cable Television both sinking in their boats!
For the Democrats and cable television media, hating Trump only ended in sinking themselves while life goes on for the masses, even amidst all that Marxist misery has done— and is still doing—to them.
That’s largely because obsessive hatred doesn’t float boats, it only ultimately sinks them.“Mr. Biden’s approval rating now stands at 51 percent nationwide, with 42 percent of the country disapproving. That’s a much narrower split than his 54 percent approval and 30 percent disapproval in another Monmouth survey that was conducted just after he took office. “Congress, too, is bearing the brunt of Americans’ impatience. The country now disapproves of the job lawmakers in Washington are doing by a 29-percentage-point spread, compared with just 16 points in January.”Whoever thought they’d read this headline five months after Election Night? ’Donald Trump was right, Cable News Needs Him’. Not CNN, not MSNBC, and not even leader of the Cable News gang Fox News!
“First with Fox. August thru November 3 was the highwater mark for Fox News programs from 4pm on. Fox’s current numbers show a dramatic drop when you compare the numbers for March 25, 2021 with those for August 23, 2020. Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham have suffered the largest loss–Hannity has shed 4,185,000 viewers while Laura’s losses approach five million. Even Tucker Carlson is down 40% compared to his August 2020 numbers. “While Fox is struggling compared to last year, it is outpacing CNN and MSNBC. “They were competitive with Fox in November 2020 and, in some cases (such as Rachel Maddow) they were walloping Fox. Those days are done. “MSNBC’s numbers are almost as bad as CNN’s, but there are two exceptions–Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell. Maddow is besting Hannity on most nights while Lawrence O’Donnell is competitive with Laura Ingraham. “When you compare August 2020 to March 2021 for total viewers in the 8pm and 9pm time slots you will see how big a decline Cable News has suffered–8pm has 4,055,000 fewer viewers and 9pm dropped by 4,162,000. “I do not believe this drop is going to change significantly in the future. I am sure that CNN and MSNBC will get a daytime boost out of the George Floyd hearings, but the evening without Donald Trump to bash leaves CNN and MSNBC scrambling to find their raison d’être.”
