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

By Rich Kozlovich Tags:

Years ago there used to be reality cop shows, and the benefit of seeing what cops had to deal with daily.... hourly....  was encouraging.  Why?  Because you knew no matter what was going on in your life, it was much better than what was happening in much of the rest of the world.  The same is true for watching the Pravda media, including MSNBC.

It's a look into a "parallel universe".  A universe where only far left insanity is considered sane, and anything that smacks of traditional values is not only insane, but vile and hateful.   All whites, conservatives, Republicans, practicing Christians and Jews, are evil and must be ridiculed constantly.  

It's all make believe, nothing going on in reality changes their views, always believing they're the true voice of America.  In spite of their ratings collapse they still arrogantly and smugly act is if the nation cares what they're saying, but those who run MSNBC  know better, and there are penalties for ignoring reality....the loss of viewership, and the resulting funding that goes along with that.

As a result of their loss of viewership, it's become too costly to maintain their overpriced staff.  Top anchors faced huge pay cuts after Comcast cut ties with MSNBC:

That's bad news for the exorbitantly compensated and increasingly unhinged personalities who call the left-wing network home (for now). MSNBC and other declining television assets—but not the reality TV powerhouse Bravo—will be spun off into a new publicly traded company by the end of next year. That means MSNBC will soon be divorced from the ostensibly more serious and less overtly partisan NBC News, which routinely shares reportage, fact-checking (if you can call it that), and contributors with its sister network. Comcast brass on Wednesday told MSNBC staffers that  the network's name and peacock logo might not survive the breakup. The outrageously inflated salaries of the network's top anchors almost definitely won't.

Joyless Reid’s Show on MSNBC CANCELLED. 

 

Does all of this signal a shift in MSNBC’s editorial policies? No. They intend to continue their radical brainwashing of the limited audience they reach. They’re just going to do it with fresher faces who haven’t obliterated their credibility completely… at least not yet. Give it time. The new hosts be recycled as well once they’ve been proven to be just as wrong as their predecessors.  ‘My Show Had Value!’ — Joy Reid Melts Down After MSNBC Axes Her.............By way of example, she cites her promotion of Black Lives Matter and the anti-white 1619 Project, among other far-left causes.......“[A]nd where I come down on that is I’m not sorry,” she concluded.

 

Of course the fact she was unhinged, and her ratings were in the toilet isn't the real reason she was fired.  Oh no,....here it comes...and I know you're all going to be shocked.... it's because MSNBC is racist.  And we know that because Rachel Maddow "hints" they're racists, so if Rachel Maddow says it, then it must be true!  Right? There's talk MSNBC should be investigated for racism, and I agree.  It's clear they hate white people and something needs to be done about it. 

Here's a reality check on Rachel Maddow,  who loves everything about Reid saying she's learned so much from her and has so much more to learn, but isn't so outraged over her firing she's quitting her $25 million dollar a year job...which she hardly show up to do.... Reid was making a piddling three million a year... spewing out hate against whites and screaming nonsense about white supremacy. 

 

Running fast-and-loose with the truth is a much-heralded trait of Maddow, and her now departed former network colleague, Joy Reid. Reid, who was never at a loss for vile condemnations, was subject to an avalanche of critical comments on social media by viewers from both sides of the political aisle........

 

She also failed to mention MSNBC fired other propagandists, all shows no one was watching.   Marcus Ebenhack asks if Rachel Maddow just plain stupid?  Calling her the "left’s high priestess of political drama", the queen of Russiagate, implied J6 was an armed revolt and political violence, which it wasn't, and yet ignored the devastation caused by violent, destructive riots by Antifa and BLM that went on for a couple of years.  He ends saying:

 

 I’ll leave it at this: unless she is knowingly lying to her audience, then unequivocally, yes, she is just plain stupid. 

MSNBC, with their unending comparisons to Adolf Hitler, called Trump’s J6 pardons an effort to create an army of Brownshirts, and the "mostly peaceful" fire bombing attacks on Tesla dealerships protests. 

Both CNN, MSNBC  falsely called Garcia ‘Maryland Man’ 506 time in or order to conceal the fact he's here illegally.  He is not a citizen of the US and he's not a Maryland citizen.  Then they bring on that brilliant orator, Jasmine Crockett,  to defend Garcia, smear Trump, and then in turn praise her.  She cries.

 

Biden stranded those astronauts, but MSNBC spreads a massive lie about it.  The astronauts think Trump saved them. Lies cost, as MSNBC pays $30 million to settle defamation lawsuit, and that's a trend we're seeing across the board with the Pravda media.

• MSNBC Legal Analyst Blows Apart Narrative That Trump Is 'Losing' Legal Battles 
• ‘Morning Joe’ Panelists Give New DNC Chair Chances to Take a Popular Stance on “Cultural Issues” . . . He Blows It.
• Don Lemon Blasts MSNBC’s Scarborough and Brzezinski for Preaching ‘Civility’ Towards

And the hits just keep right on on coming.

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.

MSNBC Commentator Likens Ted Cruz's SCOTUS Questioning to a 'Hate Crime'

By Landon Mion Mar 22, 2022

 

 MSNBC commentator Chai Komanduri claimed Tuesday that Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz questioning Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson about whether she supports critical race theory was like witnessing the senator "commit a hate crime" against Jackson. Cruz posed several questions to Jackson about her knowledge of critical race theory and if she supports the controversial doctrine. Jackson serves as a trustee of Georgetown Day School, an elite Washington, D.C. private school that promotes author Ibram X. Kendi's book, "How to be an Antiracist," among other works tied to critical race theory. The judge has also previously offered praise for New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones' book, "The 1619 Project."..........To Read More.....

A Shameless Lying MSNBC Hack is the Face of the Media

Lies, smears and the new media normal.

September 4, 2019  Daniel Greenfield 

At the end of July, MSNBC’s biggest and dullest conspiracy theorist got some very bad news.
After over a year of booming ratings, The Rachel Maddow Show’s viewership had crashed. It had been a long road for Maddow, the former blonde Catholic high school girl who had decided she wanted to be a media personality and ended up with an MSNBC show through the efforts of Keith Olbermann.

And after Keith was gone, MSNBC had to settle for a slightly less effeminate version of Olbermann.
Maddow had retained the key elements of Olbermann’s personality, the unhinged conspiracy theories, histrionic delivery, the dark hair and even the fashionably ugly boxy black glasses. The former blonde not only looked and sounded like Olbermann, but she had learned to hit the same buttons in her audience.

One man had made her MSNBC career possible and another moved her show into the top cable spot.
That man was Robert Mueller. There was no Russian conspiracy theory too bizarre or insane to earn a rant from Rachel. Going where few dared go, Maddow began insisting that Russia was conducting a “continuing operation” and might even be in control of the White House and the entire country now.

And then the Mueller Report and later, Mueller’s testimony, destroyed all of Maddow’s conspiracies.............To Read More......

CNN and MSNBC Lose Almost Half Their Viewers in One Year

By Noel Sheppard November 27, 2013

It's been a tough year for the liberal cable news outlets.  Data released Tuesday show CNN shedding 48 percent of total viewers since last November and MSNBC dropping 45 percent.  The numbers were even worse in the all important demographic of people aged 25 to 54 as CNN's ratings dropped 59 percent and MSNBC's 52 percent.  In an off-election year, and with last November's numbers skewed higher as a result of the presidential election, it should be expected for ratings to decline.

However, Fox News didn't see close to these losses. In total day, FNC is only down 18 percent since last November and 30 percent in the demo.  As you might imagine, prime time numbers were also down.

CNN was off 54 percent in total viewers and 62 percent in the demo. MSNBC declined 50 percent in total prime time viewers and 57 percent in the demo.  By contrast, FNC was second in all of cable in prime time this November averaging over 2 million viewers. This represented a decline of 21 percent in total viewers and 41 percent in the demo.  As such, no matter how you slice it, the liberal cable networks fared much worse in the past twelve months than their far more centrist competitor.  This Appeared Here.....
