Viewers flee left wing TV again
The last time I remember viewers ditched left wing TV channels in big numbers was after Muller's Russia collusion probe ended. Mueller found no evidence of collusion. This was a big blow to the dumb libs waiting for Trump to be punished for treason. Many right wing pundits claimed people finally realized they were being lied to, and left in anger. But this proved to be wrong - the drop in viewership didn't last long. It was like people left in frustration and despair. They returned after they recovered from their emotions.
Viewership numbers for CNN and MSNBC fell a lot after Trump won the election. Some pundits are claiming that people left because they saw that left wing TV channels are peddling lies. This could be wishful thinking again, though. Exactly which leftist lies are exposed as lies by Trump's win?
CNN and MSNBC never tired of calling Trump Hitler. But Trump's win doesn't necessarily mean he is no Hitler. It's possible his supporters are all terrible people too, or may be some are just ignorant. Yes, he won the popular vote, and more than half the country voted for him. But there's no rule that more than half the country cannot be bad or ignorant people. This is the exact argument that many on the left are peddling. Sunny Hostin, Joy Reid, and that Capehart fellow from PBS all asked what is wrong with America. Several others are more subtle. Many Dems are blaming the voters for Trump's win.
The polls (with a few exceptions), and the TV pundits also claimed Trump is less popular than Kamabla. They gave the impression voters are flocking to the Cackler. (Apparently, this was news to the Harris campaign itself. The dummies that ran her campaign claim she never led Trump in the swing states in their internal polling! If that was the case, why she didn't take more risks is a mystery. She played it safe like she believed she was ahead.) Trump's win showed this to be wrong. But will the dumb libs treat this as a lie, or as a mistake by the TV pundits? Or, may be they don't care, and they are simply staying away out of frustration. May be they will come back after a little while.
TV viewers are a tiny segment of the population. I think the people watching CNN and MSNBC are a self-selected group of morbid Trump haters. It's true that viewership has been dwindling steadily over the last decade or so, but any sudden falls are suspicious. People just don't change that quickly. I think the viewers for CNN and MSNBC are a perfect match for the hateful TV pundits. Neither group can survive without the other.
