You think ex CNN or MSNBC viewers are going to Faux? Ever?
-
CNN has been in the shitter for a long time. They’re ratings were always a sham anyway because of the imputed viewership in airports etc. CNN doesn’t have viewers to shed.
-
MSNBC’s audience is far too mind controlled to go anywhere.
There is NO AUDIENCE FOR FAUX. It does not exist. The audience that it captured and kept within the honeypot for two decades has gone. It will not return. No one else wants to join.
So when someone like Bannon says: the Murdoch’s made a business decision, I call for further clarification. Only an incompetent fool alienates an existing affluent, loyal audience for an audience yet to be acquired and that likely does not exist. Rupert Murdoch might be many things, but an incompetent fool is not one of them (except for the MySpace acquisition and the News of the World-ending phone hacking).
If a decision to shipwreck Faux was made just in the effort to get Trump, cover up the steal, and demoralize his “base”, it’s because someone has paid the Murdoch’s to do it - as in: we want you to take down Trump’s base and here’s $25 billion or $50 billion to do it. What do the Murdoch’s care? They’ve plenty of other media properties.
The Faux teevee actors are just casualties. They’ve been paid well. But this is the end. They will NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN.
