Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Part III

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: My Media Commentaries

 

I'm lumping NBC and MSNBC together because they're part and parcel of the same package, and what we're seeing is a lot of hand wringing and gnashing of teeth now that Trump has been elected.   

Chuck Schumer has been disgusting with his a record of lies, vile hate speech, and even threats against conservative SCOTUS jurists promoting violence. But now, all of sudden, little Chuckie Schumer has had an epiphany.  Now he's all about bipartisanship.  "Please don't do to us what we did to you, let's all be happy and embrace unity." Ya just gotta see the humor in that.  

• Trump: From 'Fascist' to 'Let's Do Lunch'

But he's not alone, the media, both print and electronic, are wetting their pants. It turns out someone at MSNBC has decided those two nitwits, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski need to kneel and kiss the ring!   Here's what happened when Crazy Mika and Psycho Joe met with Trump, with Trump saying:

 

I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension," ...... "I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth chance — that is where I hold the line." 

That's a mistake.   Napoleon once said never interfere with an enemy when he's making a mistake, and these vile characters deserve no compassion.   As J.D. Rucker points out MSNBC is desperate, and terrified because they fear for their continued existence as a network, and rightly so.  Now that the norms are back, they fear the administration will use the DOJ against them, which they applauded when the Biden administration pushed censorship of all conservative views.   They've worked to destroy the norms, vilified the norms,  and yet want the norms to protect them.  Here's a taste of who and what they are.  

1. MSNBC’s Maddow: Is Trump Trying to ‘Destroy the U.S. Government’ with Cabinet Picks?
2. MSNBC’s Scarborough: ‘It’s Insanity’ — White Elitist Dems Are Setting Up Party to Lose
3. MSNBC Anchor Wonders How to ‘Live With’ Family and Friends Who Voted for Trump
4. Joy Reid Says Black Women No Longer Interested in ‘Saving America’ After Betrayal by White Female Voters
5. MSNBC’s Wallace: Even Though Trump Has a Mandate, He ‘Doesn’t’ Understand Power in Washington

MSNBC is garbage, and NBC turned it into garbage, deliberately, and as a result their audience is draining faster than they can tell lies, which is really fast.  And along with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, there are:

 

"Mike Barnacle, Claire McCaskill, Willie Geist, Al Sharpton, Donnie Deutsch, and whoever else they shake out of their chardonnay slumber early in the morning to round out their throuple or whatever they call in early-morning orgy of lies – are irrelevant in the overall scheme of things, or at least they used to be.  Now that mommy and daddy went to meet with Adolf Hitler Jr. and didn’t try to von Stauffenberg him might lead to an awkward Thanksgiving meal and an excommunication from the left.".......  “What we did agree on was to restart communications,” ........"They’re heroes, just ask them."

 

And now they're facing a payola scandal involving Al Sharpton:

First, there was the revelation that Al Sharpton pocketed a tidy sum from the lavish-spending Kamala Harris campaign, where the bad reverend was granted $500,000, and he repaid Kamala when he delivered a tongue-bath interview on October 20. This is a severe breach of journalism ethics, and the network heads have not addressed this payola scandal in any fashion.

 

But the fact remains, they need viewers to stay in business, and their numbers are staggering, all because of their unflinching commitment to fake news has caused their viewership to crater, and now they're on the market to be sold, and they've admitted they have no clue how to win back their audience.   

 

Here's the real issue for them, without subscription cable where people were forced to bundle paying for shows they didn't want and never watched, they can't survive....."for nearly a half-century, Hollywood somehow convinced 100 million American households to pay a fortune for TV channels they never watched......you are subsidizing hate outlets like CNN and MSNBC. A piece of your monthly cable bill goes directly into their pockets. CNN could not survive in a merit-based system. Too few people watch CNN for it to make any real money from advertising......"

 

America is abandoning cable for streaming services, and no matter what you may not like about them, it's merit based.  You only pay for what you want, and as the author points out the reasons:

 

..........millions and millions are canceling their CSTV packages is the insane amount of free programming through streaming. If you have a Roku box and high-speed internet, you’re blown away by all the free stuff. Pluto, FreeVee, and Roku TV are basically free versions of cable TV with fewer ads. There’s news, sports, classic TV, binge channels of newer shows, true crime, movies galore…

 

It turns out Crazy Mika, Psycho Joe, and the "execrable" Joy Reid may not have jobs much longer, as it appears Comcast has decided to leave this sinking ship behind, rats and all.

 

As for the print media, they're even in more trouble as newspapers are trying to go out of business as fast as restaurants.  Jeff Bezos is shaking up the Washington Post, which one writer described saying he's seen restaurant menus that are bigger, a common trend for all newspapers now. He lost 250,000 subscribers because he wouldn't endorse Kamala, and lost $77 million over this last year, and has been losing tens of millions every year.  His solution is to call for more conservative writers.  It's too late, his readership are all far left lunatics, they won't stand for it, so he's either going to keep losing tens of millions of dollars every year forever, or close down the newspaper. 

 

The Los Angeles Times refused to endorse Kamala, but not because she's so far left.  The owner didn't think she was far left enough, and now the owner is going to fire his editorial board and hire "an all-new editorial board" saying:

"I will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American's view."....."Coming soon, a new Editorial Board. Trust in media is critical for a strong democracy."

So what exactly was he saying here? He said he knew his newspaper was blatantly biased, corrupt, totally unconcerned with facts, truth, or reality, and was nothing more that a Pravda media mouth piece for leftist Democrats.  But in spite of all that everyone can now can trust him to do the right thing.  What a load of horsepucky.  

 

This isn't a singular event, it's nationwide, The Dallas Morning News another leftist rag reports they suffered "a net loss of $3.9 million for its third quarter of 2024"...."compared to the $1.4 million loss in the same period last year", two and a half times, an almost 10% decrease in revenue, and that kind of loss will only grow, because of who and what they are, and their readers won't be coming back. 

The print and electronic media are heading for a crash!

 

Update 11/22/24:   MSNBC headed for hospice care - November 22, 2024 by Silvio Canto, Jr. - The moral of the story is that hatred will eventually destroy the hater.
