How Bad Has Broadcast TV Become? Stats

The plight of broadcast TV prospects has been woeful for years already. Cord-cutting - while acknowledged and battled for some time - has actually accelerated in the past couple of years. The carriage dispute between Disney and Spectrum in the fall of 2023 reflected this, as the cable provider was not attempting to strongarm the entertainment giant; it simply could not afford any higher fees due to customer flight. With more people jumping to streaming, the four major networks have experienced a severe erosion, with the annual top series-- outside of sports programming--not able to average more than 10 million viewers per episode.

wrong with this woman? 13 replies
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) experienced what can only be described as a positive moment in his presidential aspirations on Sunday, given Liz Cheney’s popularity among Republicans.
Appearing on Face the Nation, Cheney was asked about DeSantis suggesting that as president he would look at the January 6 defendants on a case-by-case basis and consider pardons in response to concerns about the “weaponization” of government and the rejected ex-congresswoman responded by declaring the governor “unfit for office.” [Video]
“We have other Republican candidates for president like Ron DeSantis who have said they are open to reviewing the cases against these defendants and considering pardons for them,"

Accused of Killing Colorado Mother and
Her Teenage Son 3 replies
A four-time deported illegal alien is accused of killing a mother and one of her three sons in a fatal drunk-driving crash, a new report details.
Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alas, a 37-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, was arrested and charged in December with killing 46-year-old Melissa Powell, a mother of three sons, as well as her 16-year-old son, Riordan Powell, in Broomfield, Colorado, on December 12.
Jennie Taer at the Daily Caller broke the news that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency confirmed Menjivar-Alas’s illegal alien status and his repeated illegal re-entry into the United States despite being deported four times.
Menjivar-Alas has had four prior convictions in Boulder County, Colorado,
My first Townhall Column of the year was my top 2024 predictions, but one prediction did not fit with its snarky vibe. Let me make it now. In 2024, we’re going to see a massive terrorist attack here in the United States. I’m not going to sugarcoat it – I’m worried that we’re facing a terrorist threat unlike anything we’ve ever seen and that a lot of Americans are going to die. It does not have to happen, but because the people running this country are so corrupt, malicious, and incompetent, it will.
The people running this country have made choices – like throwing open the border –

Debates, Citing 'Age' Concerns and Making
Trump Look Good 5 replies
Republicans have had lots of opinions as to whether it was a good idea for Donald Trump to skip debating with his primary opponents thus far. Some have asked why would he need to when he is 30 points up on his next closest opponent. Some have said that it was unfair that voters were unable to see all their choices for the GOP nomination all together on one stage debating the issues. But as Trump stands a very good chance of being the Republican Presidential nominee, Democrats seem to be a bit nervous about any general election debates between Trump and Joe Biden.

Attacked, This Time the Outcome Was Much Different 7 replies
The video of Judge Mary Kay Holthus being attacked last Wednesday by a three-time felon whom she was just about to sentence for an April 2023 baseball bat assault is not something you can unsee.
As RedState previously reported, Holthus was right on the verge of handing down the sentence for Deobra Delone Redden, who is 30, when Redden jumped over the defense's table and the judge's bench and attacked her, knocking her to the floor as others in the courtroom tried to pull him off of her and subdue him, which they finally did but with some difficulty.
For those who missed the shocking moment, watch: [video]
Illustrating what a rolling disaster the Biden administration is, the executive-branch-controlled National Park Service decided it'd be a great idea to remove the William Penn statue that stands on the grounds of the founder of Pennsylvania's historic home.
Why? Because "equity and inclusion," of course. You see, "Welcome Park," the site of Penn's historic home didn't give enough representation to Native Americans, and the federal government decided the best course of action would be to remove his statue completely and turn the place into a woke shrine.
No doubt, the fact that Penn owned slaves was also a major factor in trying to erase his existence
Michael Roman, one of the 18 co-defendants in the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) case - which is centered on and includes former President Donald J. Trump - filed an explosive motion today
In it, he claimed the indictment she secured against him on August 14 was unconstitutional because the lawyer she subcontracted to investigate RICO charges, Nathan Wade, is her lover.
Roman requests the court dismiss his indictment and disqualify Willis from the case. The Atlanta Constitution Journal summarized it this way:
The bombshell public filing alleged that special prosecutor Nathan Wade,
My colleague Ward Clark reported on how the anti-Israel crew was causing trouble in New York again, this time by blocking some vital entry ways into New York City: the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, as well as the Holland Tunnel and the Williamsburg Bridge. If you're familiar with New York you know that there are thousands of people going through those arteries on any normal workday. If they wanted to do something and make people turn away from their "cause," they almost couldn't pick anything that will tick off people more than something like that.
Here you can see they're employing a tactic of the climate activists:
Perhaps the most misleading government statistic of all is the Consumer Price Index. The CPI is an incredibly important statistic because so many government programs that benefit American citizens are tied to that number.
It's usually cited as the inflation rate, but it's not really. The CPI is the rate of increase in a subjective "market basket" of goods and services. The things that concern you and me the most as far as price increases have very little to do with the CPI. The CPI doesn't track food or gas prices at the pump, so the CPI that we see every month doesn't tell us anything useful.
I am finding it increasingly difficult to be friends with these zombie-like power tools who obeisantly sashay into the voting booth and pull the Donkey lever because "RACISM" or some other myth that Snopes refuses to tackle. I believe "Democrat" should be a score on the IQ chart just a tad above "AOC" and a mile below "window licker."
FACT-O-RAMA! Gropey Joe Biden keeps banging his "white supremacy" drum, even though FBI stats prove year after year that black people murder more than twice as many white people, even though white folks outnumber black folks at a rate of more than five to one.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there is no dispute about the benefits of breastfeeding an infant. "Most health professionals are familiar with the benefits of breastfeeding,” the organization says on its website. "The AAP continues to support the unequivocal evidence that breastfeeding protects against a variety of diseases and conditions."
In addition to a long list of health benefits for the infant, there are significant health advantages for new mothers as well.
However, according to leftist academics, breastfeeding is “ethically problematic.” Want to guess why?
Campus Reform has the details:
“We are concerned about breastfeeding promotion that praises breastfeeding as the ‘natural’ way to feed infants,”
On the eve of July the Fourth in 1980, America was reeling. There were 52 US hostages kidnapped by Iran and trapped in Tehran. Unemployment was at 7.2%. Inflation stood at 12.5%. Thanks to a decade of the aforementioned out-of-control inflation, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at an anemic 876.02, only about a hundred points higher than it was in 1970. The Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan. A feckless Jimmy Carter saw his second term hopes being challenged on the left by Ted Kennedy and on the right by Ronald Reagan.
As always when the nightly news is grim, Americans need something to laugh about at the movies.

Members of the Minneapolis City Council will be meeting Monday morning to discuss and also vote on a resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza after a weekend of demonstrations in the city.
The Free Palestine Coalition ended a week of planned protests and calling for a ceasefire during a Sunday event, when they marched from the federal building to senator Amy Klobuchar’s Office.
However, as councilors meet, there seems to be a divide between some of them and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
With US forces under regular attack across the Mideast and the Navy actively engaged with Houthi forces in the Red Sea, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was out of commission in the hospital from Monday on.
Worse, no one told the White House; worse yet, neither President Biden nor National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan noticed. Not until the Pentagon let Sullivan know on Thursday.
Anyone thinking that the nation is well-led despite Biden’s blatant feebleness better think again: Austin and his deputies ignored the law here, while Sullivan was plainly asleep at the switch.
Again, with American forces regularly under fire, and our friends in Ukraine and Israel fully at war
This week’s Liberal Media Scream is a five-screamer featuring an ABC host and former Clinton handler acting as judge, jury, and executioner of former President Donald Trump and his effort to remain on the 2024 primary ballots and let voters, not partisan state officials, decide his fate.
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, on his Sunday show This Week, was quizzing his panel about the campaigns in some states to declare Trump ineligible for election because an official decided that the former president triggered a 14th Amendment ban on insurrectionists.
Yeah, yeah, another Democrat has likened a Republican to Hitler; this must be a day ending with a y. But Old Joe Biden has a way of making everything worse, and in his latest smear of the man he wants us to believe is the worst person on planet earth, Donald Trump, Old Joe came through for us yet again.
Barack Obama said it years ago: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.” On Friday, Old Joe proved his sainted predecessor right yet again in what was supposed to be a stemwinder campaign speech that would get his far-left base all fired up to do
Although Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin failed to inform the White House about his recent hospitalization, President Joe Biden (D) is not considering firing him, Politico reported Monday.
The outlet cited a group of senior administration officials. If Austin were to issue a resignation Biden would refuse it, a person among them said. “Austin’s going nowhere,” one official told Politico. The report noted Republicans have been calling for Biden to dismiss the defense secretary. (Photo) During a recent interview, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) told Fox News, “Apparently the National Security Council didn’t know it, the White House didn’t know it, congress didn’t know it.”
A mob of sticky-fingered migrants stormed into Manhattan’s Bloomingdale’s and tried to swipe a trove of Versace, Dior and Prada designer sunglasses totaling $5,300 — before all but one of them escaped, police sources said Sunday.
About 15 asylum-seekers swarmed the high-end Midtown retailer shortly before 6:30 p.m. Saturday and grabbed more than a dozen pairs of the pricey sunglasses before making a run for it, sources said.
An alert cop on paid detail at the store was able to grab one of the crooks while the rest ran off, according to sources.

Barack Obama recently had an off-the-books White House lunch with President Joe Biden to share his concerns and advice about his former running mate's campaign, according to a new report.
Obama grew 'animated' as he discussed the 2024 election and Donald Trump's bid to return to the presidency, and suggested Biden should restructure his campaign to be more agile, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The lunch meeting reportedly occurred in recent months, but has not been previously reported, and Obama does not appear in the White House visitor logs,
Bottles of plastic water contain hundreds of thousands of toxic microscopic plastic particles, new research has found.
The findings are likely to shock anyone who has swapped from tap to bottled water, believing it was better for their health.
Drinking water from a bottle could mean you are contaminating your body with tiny bits of plastic, which scientists fear can accumulate in your vital organs with unknown health implications.
Yikes! Barack Obama is so freaked-out with how Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is going that there was a leak in the press that things must change right now.
Democrat panic is real, y’all, and everyone is worried that Biden isn’t able to win re-election. During a previously unreported private lunch meeting with Biden, Obama spoke directly about the structure of Biden’s re-election campaign. He told aides and allies of the president that they need to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them first with the White House.
Three people familiar with the lunch meeting said that Obama grew “animated” as he discussed the 2024 election and the
The Democrats Can’t Disgorge Biden

Despite the pervasive angst among Democratic insiders about the hazards of nominating President Biden for a second term, he is all but certain to be at the top of his party’s ticket next November. The only elected incumbent ever denied the nomination of his party for reelection was President Franklin Pierce, and that occurred long before the modern primary system reduced party conventions to coronation ceremonies. It’s clear that the Biden campaign plans to win enough delegates during the primaries to secure the nomination well before he arrives at the Democratic National Convention. If they succeed, it will be difficult to deny him the nomination.
Well, well, well… isn’t this interesting. In a court filing today, one of the co-defendants in the Fulton County election case against President Trump is presenting very specific details of an intimate relationship between District Attorney Fani Willis and the Special Prosecutor she hired, Nathan Wade. At first review, if the allegations are true, DA Willis had a financial motivation to initiate the case against Trump, as her boyfriend was the primary financial beneficiary. The filing documents how Fani Willis and Nathan Wade took several extravagant vacations and indulged in an exclusive lifestyle as the result of payments Willis’s office made to Wade.
CNN has come out with its first electoral map of the campaign season and the "Road to 270." The map is based on polling and other factors they detailed.
And it is that path to 270 that we attempt to explore here. We base this current outlook on public and private polling, conversations with campaign advisers, Republican and Democratic political operatives, members of Congress, and political professionals involved with outside groups poised to be active in the race. First, let's start by saying how hilarious it is that they spent multiple paragraphs downplaying the map before they even started talking about it. Here's a small

I just checked what we have scheduled to record on the DVR. Of all of the shows on broadcast TV, we have three scheduled through the week. The rest of our favorite shows are on A&E or HGTV or Reelz or the like. I watch a lot of classic movies on Turner Classic Movies as well. Most of what is on broadcast TV is trash not worth the time to watch. That includes the self-congratulatory awards shows!
