TV Keeps Losing Ground – Bye Chuck Todd, Jim Acosta

It would be easy to miss the fact that we just bid adieu to Chucky Todd and Jim Acosta from the tube. Fired as they used to say. As the old guard media continues on its perilous decline into oblivion, let us take the time to mark the event. We read about the declining numbers of eyeballs over at CNN and MSNBC? It turns out that is just the tip of the action.

Zero Hedge fills us in:

Just 59 percent of people surveyed by Statista Consumer Insights in the United States in 2024 had watched linear television in the last twelve months. (Classic TV)

In contrast, 86 percent said they had watched digital videos during the same time period.

As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz details below, the decline of classic TV continues…

Gone gone gone….. and he wonders why.

Former NBC News Employee Chuck Todd Has Meltdown Over Elon Musk: He Destroyed the ‘Trusted Information Ecosystem’ (VIDEO)

Former NBC news political pundit and moderator of “Meet The Press” Chuck Todd is railing against Elon Musk and his recent efforts to trim spending and make major alterations to large swaths of the federal government.

Comments:

“Oh no. Ferreting out corruption and the sleazy abuse of our taxpayer dollars (while we are 36 trillion in debt) is “an affront to democracy” Good lord. We are making ALL the right people angry…”

Key phrase from Chuck…“as far as MY definition of America is.” Chuck….your definition of America got you fired from discussing the daily events with Americans.

Let’s check in with Rita over at Sky.

‘Good riddance’: TV host farewells ‘blabbering idiots’ Jim Acosta and Chuck Todd

Sky News host Rita Panahi discussed News Anchor’s James Acosta leaving CNN and Chuck Todd leaving NBC. Ms Panahi labelled James Acosta as “one of the worst of the fake news machinery”. “A man whose Trump derangement syndrome had him reduced to a blabbering idiot,” she said.

That’s a wrap… keep the good times keeping on Donald.

Crackerpiece Theatre: A Translation of the Zimmerman Trial

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day. I don’t have much energy or wish to opine on the heavy concerns of the day. I caught this over at McNorman’s blog, stop by as he has good stuff. Nothing offensive meant by this. It was just funny to me.

Happy New Year!

Best wishes go out to everyone for the coming year. Thank you for taking the time to pass my way, and to those who have shared your thoughts. I appreciate the new and old “virtual” friends who feel very much more than that. For those who have not seen any snow, some nice pictures in the video,

Biden poses with Rapper who called for death to U.S. military

This must make the military feel real good. Especially all those who served in South Korea and the Korean war. Maybe short boy would prefer living under North Korea’s regime. Just last night’s playtime for Obama, our party man. How much did this party cost?

Eight years ago, however, the “Gangnam Style” K-pop singer advocated the murder and torture of US military personnel and their family members.

The K-Pop star who once advocated killing and torturing American soldiers and their family members was photographed last night alongside the Vice President of the United States.

A sample of PSY’s lyrics:

Kill those f*cking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives

Kill them all slowly and painfully
