Sunday was the final day of the 2022 Beijing Olympics and the overall numbers for how many people watched this year’s winter games were the worst ever for NBCUniversal. The games, which started Feb. 4 and went through Sunday, averaged 11.4 million viewers across all of the network’s platforms in primetime, according to the Hollywood Reporter in a piece published Monday.Those numbers are down from the average number of 19.8 million who watched the games in 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the report noted. Not only were the average number of viewers down by 42%,

Comments:

I've sworn off the NFL, but not the Olympics. Nevertheless, I really didn't watch much of it. I'm very busy, there's so much program to choose from everywhere look, and when the time came to switch on the Olympics, I had to decide if I wanted to watch the leftists at NBC stroke the communist Chinese government. Ultimately, I guess the answer was mostly, "no."

The Olympics is dead to me. I have zero interest in watching lefties play. It’s a political sham.

I didn't watch them either but my wife had them on every evening because they preempted her favorite shows. Go figure.

I guess I'm 2 for 2. Missed the NFL thug championship, with the BLM halftime show, and now I've missed the Wuhan Games. Shouldn't say missed, more like didn't watch, since I didn't really miss them. Life went on!

I tried to watch a couple of times...but the commentary was so orchestrated/heavy handed and there seemed to be a lack of the pageantry and excitement that I remember in earlier okympics. They were just too 'flat' to watch. The over the top gay ex-US male ice skater didn't help as one of their primary announcers.😒

The fixer-upper channel had a two week special during the Wolympics. It featured a remodeling of a basement and one got to watch our hours straight every night on prime time paint dry. Vastly more entertaining than the Wolympics.

We did watch curling and one event of downhill skiing. One thing I did notice this year is China managed to neuter all national identities this year. Hard to tell who was playing against whom. I did not like that at all.

The Olympics are near dead if TV can't sell it. The US has no rival since the Soviets left. The public doesn't care to watch snowboarders or alpine skiers they don't know from Adam or Eve. Figure skating on the male side is so fraught with homosexuality it ought to be folded into the womyn's. Virtually no one follows any of these sports/games. Wide World of Sports used to bring these odd-sport events into American homes each Saturday. No more...and no more interest in these "events".

Message sent by we the people. Stay away from woke and commies; we dont support it. I never watched a second this time around and winter olympics was the only televised sports i enjoyed in my life. But when the usa team and media was pro america and china with the usa help had not unleashed a bio attack for control of americans.

I have watched none of it, although I used to love to watch the downhill racers and the biathalon for the extremely difficult shooting/skiing mix. My wife recorded some of the curling, she enjoys that. The ChiComs are evil, across the board. I won't support them.

My husband and I can proudly say that we did our fair share to keep those rating in the toilet by not watching a second of the Olympics. I can remember being a young girl, and watching the Olympics when it was a bunch of patriotic amateur athletes competing for the pride of being a citizen of their countries. But now it is a bunch of uber lie-beral professional athletes competing for the highest bidder. Nope, not going to be watching this ever again.

Changed the channel nearly every time it came on. About 1/3 of the Olympic "sports" don't need to be included. For example, I like watching ski jumping and downhill racing, but snowboard acrobatics seems more performance art than competitive athletics. The mere fact that it's in China is a turn-off. I'm not "into" anything Asian--travel, tourism, movies, cuisine, music, history, art, literature--none of it. It's all "inscrutable" to me, and boring.

CNN Gives Jeff Zucker Huge Payday To Go Away 2 replies

Former CNN President Jeff Zucker allegedly reached a multimillion-dollar exit deal with parent company WarnerMedia prior to resigning in February. According to people familiar with the situation, Zucker was owed $5 million from his 2021 bonus, The Wall Street Journal reported. The agreement was finalized before Zucker announced his resignation when it was revealed he was involved in an extra-marital, consensual relationship with Chief Marketing Officer Allison Gollust. Zucker and Gollust’s affair violated company policies, according to an investigation conducted by a law firm retained by CNN, the outlet reported.

Researchers are churning out biased studies promoting medical gender transitions for children, often supported by pharmaceutical companies and activist organizations, and the media frequently promotes the conclusions uncritically. A March 2021 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence comprehensive review of nine studies failed to find evidence that hormonal therapy and puberty blockers were helpful. The review pointed out common flaws in transgender treatment research, such as confounding variables and bias resulting from observational studies that lack control groups. Yet the media has widely publicized studies funded by pharmaceutical corporations and activist groups which claim to find that “gender-affirming” medical care

President Joe Biden’s team had hoped the signing of the infrastructure law last year would be a turning point for the administration. No such luck. Instead, Biden’s position has looked weaker despite some other positives he could point to — falling unemployment, a respectable January jobs report and the upward revision of previous mixed ones, a Supreme Court vacancy Republicans might allow to be filled with relative ease, and the lifting of COVID-19 mandates in the bluest of states. February’s Quinnipiac poll shows that just 37% of registered voters approve of Biden’s performance in office, while an eye-popping 56% disapprove. Biden’s approval rating among Hispanics sits at 36%, with 49% disapproving.

A few days ago, the Houston Rockets traded for Enes Kanter Freedom and subsequently released him. Kanter Freedom has been unapologetically outspoken over China’s human rights abuses as well as the league’s hypocrisy over putting domestic political issues at the forefront of its messaging while turning a blind eye to Chinese labor camps. For taking a political stance, Kanter Freedom was silenced. Colin Kaepernick was not available for comment. In recent months, Kanter Freedom has increasingly been a thorn in the side of the NBA, which is increasingly dependent on China for both cheap Nike labor, a sizable audience, and market expansion.

There is perhaps no greater example of Democrats in disarray than everything to do with how they are handling Build Back Better. The legislation, a key part of President Joe Biden's agenda, died last December when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) came out against it. Yet his fellow Democrats are still clamoring to revive it, as if it has any life left to it at this point. Biden just last Thursday tried to encourage passage of the bill in the Senate, even quipping that Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), whose district he was visiting, should convince Manchin to get it passed.

President Biden’s announcement that the United States will ban imports of Russian oil caused the price of crude to surge on Tuesday morning. However, the pain that Americans are set to feel at the gas pump could eventually be offset if Congress were to pass Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, a new study finds. An analysis released Tuesday by the nonpartisan think tank Energy Innovation finds that the climate change provisions of Biden’s now-defunct proposal, such as tax credits for buying new electric vehicles, would have reduced U.S. oil consumption by 2025 by half of the roughly 200,000 barrels of crude oil from Russia

The advancement of the America-First policy agenda in Washington has been ground down to a halt due to ineffective leadership and Republican infighting within the House of Representatives.
