That kind of started me laughing a little right there.
Idiot talking to bigger idiots, no truth needed.
“As TV Newser reported, the Evening News averaged 5.7 million viewers the week of June 3, ABC World News had 7 million and NBC Nightly News had 7.5 million.”
These are still formidable numbers (unfortunately). CBS, NBC, and ABC are ideological appendages of the Democrat Party. Even if one assumes they operate independently instead of receiving their talking points directly from the Democrats—a BIG assumption—they are ideological bedfellows of the Democrat Party. They couldn’t report the truth even if they wanted to—and they don’t.
Unfortunately, too many Americans still rely on the big three networks for news. That’s a sad fact. Most Americans don’t even realize they’re being propagandized on a nightly basis. Oh, well. It is what it is, and conservatives—who will never get a fair shake in the media—have got to learn to deal with it.
GLBTABDisney has never represented my views.
SeeBS has never represented my views.
N-BS-C has never represented my views.
NPR even on "all things liberal considered" has never represented my views.
I'm not a libtard socialist red diaper doper baby. My views have never been represented by the MSM since at least 1968...
He is on drugs. There are no Neilsen boxes in India, Ireland, Germany, South America etc...also viewers in hotels, bars, restaurants, airports are not registered by Neilsen. Pelley is WRONG. CNN and Fox News are global and have ridiculous viewership numbers. Not to mention online streams and mobile streams.
I had no idea CBS news still had 7.5M viewers, five times Fox. I have not watched news from the big three since the 70s and 80s
he lumped FOX and MSNBC in the same sentence thusly:
" Certainly. It’s no surprise. Fox is associated with the right and MSNBC is associated with the left and they’ve done that because it is a business model. It’s a strategy. They’ve decided to bite off one small part of the viewership and be happy with that 200,000 viewers, 300,000 viewers that they have"
And the 200,000 to 300,000 is actually true for MSNBC but the way he says it, it sounds like he is saying it for BOTH stations.
Lets call and complain and MAKE HIM make a retraction on-air and apologize and kiss Roger Ailles' butt on live TV.
Pelly obviously has been guzzeling the cool-aid and/or playing too much with Anthony Weiner.
There are lies, then there are cBS lies.
[Pelley’s most recent report, like his first, did not pause to acknowledge global warming skeptics, instead treating the existence of global warming as an established fact. I again asked him why. “If I do an interview with Elie Wiesel,” he asks, “am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?” He says his team tried hard to find a respected scientist who contradicted the prevailing opinion in the scientific community, but there was no one out there who fit that description. “This isn't about politics or pseudo-science or conspiracy theory blogs,” he says. “This is about sound science.”. . .But doesn't the fact that there are a lot of Americans who are skeptical of global warming – not well respected scientists, perhaps, but ordinary people watching the segment – warrant at least some recognition of the other side? “There becomes a point in journalism where striving for balance becomes irresponsible,” says Pelley.]
Like most at CBS Pelly is not a journalist but an actor reading copy, written by someone else, in front of a camera.
While liberal news media might have 25 million viewers, and Fox News has roughly 2.5-3 million viewers, over 95% of Fox News views listen to the content of the news, while less than 5% of liberal news viewers listen to anything other than their political bias.
The news service isn’t an entertainment media, but an information reporting service. It’s to report both the popular and unpopular news, not a propaganda theme.
Network news gets these ratings because their viewers are lazy to change the channel after Wheel of Fortune.
I wonder how many people don’t watch CBS news BECAUSE OF Scott Pelley...not a few I think, to say nothing of the lies, distortions and odious general content of the whole network.
Hmmmmm...could be a business model there.
How can all of these big-wig MSM news babblers be so f-—ing stupid?
Of course he is right, conservatives are 1/10 of “normal” people-ask any liberal.
If Fox only has 200,000-300,000 viewers, it is 200,000-300,000 MORE than SeeBS!
I can't remember the last time I watched C BS, N BC, or A BC, news. Is “The Huntley Brinkley Report” still on? How about Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner? What about “The Walter Compton News” on the Dumont Television Network?
The smirk on Pelley’s face in that picture, for some reason, reminds me of that socialist kook Lawrence O’Donnell on CNN. Does anyone else see the similarity? That very look on his face reeks of arrogance towards anyone he deems lesser than himself, which means anyone not a liberal.
Fox News Channel has far too many liberal anchors and commentators to be considered right-wing. BTW, how many conservative anchors and commentators does MSNBC have?
but calling Iranian Mullah’s the “TEA Party” is not biased at all, right?
