brenthutch 444 #1 Posted December 12, 2024 (edited) “The audience of the long-running show hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski is down 35% among total viewers, averaging just 720,000, and down 37% among viewers in the advertiser-coveted demographic ages 25-54, according to Nielsen Media Research.” “MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” has lost 43% of its total audience in 2024 since Election Day” Looks like the Lefties’ self righteous intolerance and hatred extends to their own kind. Meanwhile at the other end of the political news spectrum… “Fox News has seen its audience surge. In November, the Murdoch family’s network captured a 70% share of the cable news audience in the weeks since the president-elect won another term in the White House; that’s the largest in its history.” Looks like Americans like winners, not whiners.

TriGirl 318 #2 December 13, 2024 That's a bit of a stretch to come to that conclusion from the data provided. Just because the market share has dropped doesn't mean the number of viewers has stayed the same (and they all just went to another channel). More likely that a lot of us watched a lot of the shows for information from the candidates as the different platforms covered the public appearances. Now that the election is over, I would conclude that the people still watching as much FOX as they did before the election is skewing the percentages, since they're still getting the dopamine hit from the continuous victory laps and hate rhetoric toward the other party, which fuels more desire to keep watching. The rest of us are just decompressing and moving on to the holidays. But that's just my take on the data. I'm not hearing whining on this side, just some self-reflection on the messaging during the campaign and concern over the unqualified nominees to the cabinet. YMMV (obviously). 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
