Live — and die — by fake news: MSNBC’s ratings COLLAPSE after Mueller finds ‘no collusion’
The National Sentinel ^ | 3/27/19 | Jon Dougherty

Posted on 03/27/2019 3:16:45 PM PDT by SleeperCatcher

There is an axiom in the news business that says if you lie to your core audience, that core audience will abandon you once the truth is revealed — and the truth is always revealed.

It’s an axiom that MSNBC should have heeded.

For most of a year, the network’s ratings have been steadily improving with one of its hosts, Rachel Maddow, garnering double-digit increases to become MSNBC‘s prime-time behemoth, surpassing, on some nights, Fox News rival Sean Hannity.

And for that same period, Maddow and the rest of the network’s ‘talent’ line-up pushed the Russian collusion hoax to viewers.

Facing defeat, now they’re switching to the healthcare debate and how it’s a winning issue for Dems.

Morning Joe and Mika called Trump a liar this morning for allegedly breaking his promises.

I won’t be breaking out any champagne just yet.

If we’re lucky, the ratings drop is due to 10 million commies dropping dead from a heart attack.

Most likely they are frustrated.

That means they are not dead yet.

That means they will be back.

That’s what commies do.

Last night Hannity had a special address for his new audience.

I really don’t think this is as big a deal as some people want it to be. People tend to shut down for a while when the news is “bad”, then gradually they get back to their normal routines.

A few more wins by Trump will make a lot of these people very depressed. And they will stay away from their news stations. But Trump has the pound and the Attorney General has got to come up with some indictments.

Yes. When Obama won for a second term I dropped out. No internet “news” sites. No Free Republic. No TV. I even went out of my way to avoid seeing the headlines in the newspapers. I only came back when I learned Trump was running for President.

Obama’s re-election showed how bad things had become; he was a proven failure, but the media campaigned for him and he won. When I watch my political porn (YouTube clips of election night 2016), the leftist commentators reflect on Obama’s “joyless” 2012 campaign (comparing it to Hillary’s in 2016); there was no enthusiasm because even leftists knew he’d deliver nothing of consequence to most of them.

Black co-workers who adorned their workspaces with Obama pictures had removed them before a year had passed; turns out he wasn’t going to pay their rents, buy their gasoline, etc. (these were working people - no free sh!t for them). To this day he’s just an embarrassment that can only travel in certain circles; too many of his peeps still can’t see beyond the “gay marriage” thing - or their higher healthcare bills.

It is more than that; perhaps some lefties are realizing they’d been scammed by their commissars who used the lies for fundraising.

TV Newser: Scoreboard: Tuesday, March 26
For the second consecutive night, Fox News averaged more prime time viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. The immediate aftermath of the Mueller report findings seem to paying off for the network.

The liberals in congress, and the liberals in the media, all were counting on the fusionGPS dossier to have the goods on Trump.

So, the problem all along was that, the people who fabricated and paid for the dossier, didn’t do a good job in the fabrication, and it ended up being a flawed piece of junk. Next time they wish to take somebody down with a fabricated hoax, they had better make sure that it is credible to the point that, even God would be fooled. It was a half-ass job, and somebody will be held responsible for it, BY THE DEMOCRATS. Look for mysteriously disappeared or dead people in the months to come, or maybe later.
