BREAKING: The gods must think we're crazy!

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018

As always, worst is more:
If it's information you seek, here's some information. Joe Concha reports for The Hill:
CONCHA (7/31/18): Fox News continued its command of the basic cable landscape in July by topping its competition in total viewers, with Sean Hannity leading the way in prime time.

Hannity and Tucker Carlson took the top-two spots overall in the cable news ratings race, delivering an average of 3.37 million viewers and 2.70 million viewers respectively in winning their respective timeslots of 9 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow continued to have MSNBC's top-rated program, with the Oxford Rhodes Scholar registering an average of 2.67 million viewers per night in taking third place.

Laura Ingraham, coming off her highest-rated quarter since launching in October 2017, finished fourth overall while winning her 10 p.m. timeslot, averaging 2.61 million viewers per night and topping MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell's 2.117 million viewers.
She's still Our Own Rhodes Scholar! Marketing never dies!

Though they've taken different routes to the bottom, it's hard to dispute the idea that Hannity and Carlson are currently running the two worst programs in primetime "cable news." The gods on Olympus must be laughing as they scan these ratings.

"Overall, when comparing the numbers of each major cable news network in prime time, Fox News won by averaging 2.41 million viewers to MSNBC's 1.66 million and CNN's 891,000," Concha reported.

He didn't say what he considers "prime time" to be, or if the numbers he cited were for weeknights only. At The Hill, Concha's report was close enough for mainstream press corps work!

Thumping the shark: Regarding Hannity, "the staunch Trump supporter also topped Discovery Channel's ratings juggernaut 'Shark Week' with 3.15 million total viewers to Discovery's 1.69 million during the week of July 23-27," Concha reported.

Based on the other numbers, we'll guess that other cable news stars must have topped Shark Week too. That said, Concha had our current alpha shark right there.

    Bullshit, you zombie-old-man.

    There's no doubt whatsoever that the Carlson's show is definitely the least worst of the whole shitshow business.

  2. So conservative s watch more cable news. So what? Younger voters get their news from the internet. Only the older voters watch cable and they skew conservative. It doesn't say anything about liberal appeal.

    Somerby makes yet another dig at higher education. These remarks make me more convinced that Somerby got poor grades at Harvard and would never have been admitted to any grad program. Ironically, Somerby is overeducated for a comedian, many of whom are drop outs due to the incompatibility of comedy club hours and daytime classes.

    Education is the foundation of democracy. Somerby shouldn't be disparaging it.

    1. I'll tell you want does say something about liberal appeal. Losing presidential elections to inexperienced, WWF, Hannity-esque blowhards.

    2. You might have a point if liberals lost the last election, but they didn't. It was stolen by Russia, Comey, Wikileaks and so on. That's why there is an investigation going on. You really should keep up with the news.

    3. Thank you Thank You Very much Doctor Otonokpo for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am Cordelia Sandra from Brazil and i am putting this testimony here too because i want to share my testimony of how i was helped by Doctor Otonokpo within 48 hours of contacting him. Yes, it was last week my ex boyfriend returned to me after i contacted Doctor Otonokpo. My boyfriend was always going back to meet his ex girlfriend because he never really left her. Her name was Sophie. I didn't know how it happened one day after breakfast that i saw him looking at his ex girlfriend's picture on Facebook and I flared at him that he doesn't care about him and he was with me and still thinking about his ex although we have been dating for 6 months. He stormed at me and left the house and never returned. I was heartbroken and wanted him to come back. I was in a nightclub with friend one evening that I saw him with Sophie there, I was humiliated that night and I regretted going there only to see him there. I went online after some days and found Doctor Otonokpo and read about him and I contacted him to help me get him back. I must say that within 48 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and pleaded for leaving me. Is this how spell works so fast? Please, if you want help, contact Doctor Otonokpo too to help you at otonokpotemple@gmail.com

  3. If you calculate the Maddow viewership (2.67 million) as a percentage of the US population that is of voting age (18+ years, which totaled approximately 234.6 million in 2010), that's 1% of that population. As a percentage of 2016 Hillary voters (approximately 65.8 million), it comes out to 4%.

    Those are remarkably low percentages. Perhaps the Gods are smiling at the 99% and 96% who aren't watching Maddow.

    1. If you did this same math about those who saw the latest superhero comicbook-based movie, you'd come up with similarly small numbers. Does that mean it was a bad or even an unpopular movie? Probably not.

  4. "Sometimes, gossips direct their wrath at worthy targets."

    Gossip isn't necessarily negative or "wrath"-filled talk. (Did you hear X is having a baby?)

    Honig's misstatement of fact isn't an example of gossip; it's just an error. His belief that they are "panicking" is the speculation, the gossip, if you will.

    Speculation isn't the same thing as gossip, though. It can be well-founded and logical, or misguided and biased. It's the fine line that opinion writers have to walk, between reason and propaganda. Honig was called on, not merely to recite facts, but to offer an informed opinion. Whether or not his opinion is worthwhile is a matter of judgment.

    Similarly, reporting based on anonymous sources can be accurate and informative when properly handled. One could denigrate this traditional journalistic practice as gossip, but that would be a broad brush indictment of a valuable tool.

    Finally, there is a fundamental difference between the loony worry over Gore's clothing and the discussions about Trump/Russia. The former is an invented non-story, lunatic ramblings, that seemed designed to tarnish Gore. The latter (Trump/Russia) is a real story that is important. Not all of the discussion about it can be said to be mere gossip.

  5. Well, there's a lot you could say but I'll leave it at this:
    Maybe if Fox News continues to get high ratings, Bob will
    realize that giving them a pass, wrong in itself, also makes
    his overall credibilty as a media critic suspect at best.

  14. Hi viewers online, I'm Alfonso Vázquez from Mexico. I'm here to share my testimony about how i was helped to get my wife back. I was a cheat and my wife caught me several times. I tried fixing myself and each time i ended up cheating over and over again. I guess i didn't realise what she meant to me until she had left me alone. I began to find a way to get her back but nothing seems to work out perfectly till i came across an article about Lord Zakuza who helped a lot of people globally to get their relationships back. I made contact with him on his WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483 and he assured me that my wife will come back to me within 48 hours with his powerful magics and i paid 410 Euros for the materials needed for the work. Surprisingly, my wife came back home after 2 days saying that she still loves me and i swore never to cheat on her anymore. All thanks to Lord Zakuza. Email him via ( lordzakuza7@gmail.com ) or WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483.
