The cause is obvious: inadequate levels of sycophantic devotion to the Democrat message. They can still turn this around! They just need to push harder!

Ummmm these networks have contempt for half their potential audience - and they wonder why they're going under? Is anyone that stupid?

Hussein will just send in one of his minions to kick out a few of the big wigs and rename it TvOne. Not that the quality will differ but the peacock will be unemployed and there’s not very many job openings for peacocks now days.

Time for GE share holders to fire GE’s CEO and to dump the NBC brands.

NBC is trying to save money by putting Jay Leno on (cheaper in long run) 5 nights per week starting this fall (and was
embarrassed when their Boston station refused to run him!
They have since changed their minds; one poss. reason was that WHDH/7 felt Leno would have older viewers and it wouldn’t be a good lead-in to their 11 pm news)

This cracks me up! The old media networks aren't dying with a bang...but a wimper. They are too stupid to even approach this in a business-like manner. Any good business person knows if you have a product that does not sell, get rid of it, change it, replace it...whatever. But no, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, even CNN see their "product" nosediving and they keep doing the same thing over and over. That is...taking the liberal slant on the news, broadcasting programs that are anti-American, anti-religion or anti-family oriented, or just continue programming that pokes fun of anything that is moral or ethical. They continue to promote violence and make sure they cover every event where any radical left group appears to demand their rights. While, of course, they debunk or deny coverage of any conservative demonstrations like the TEA parties around the country yesterday.
You think they would have taken the hint from the radio left programming. Most of those left-wing talk shows died a quick death. Or they would have seen how the liberal newspapers, which are declining daily, have become passe in America. But no...they are blind to the facts - Americans are savvy today, we no longer swallow their lie-filled reports and programs that degrade Christian and/or moral beliefs.
It is amazing how they can be so dumb and call themselves "businessmen," when they clearly are not selling what the public wants.
