It’s “pay for play” here in Hollywood. Gosh, so many times I know firsthand some exec told Nielsen to fudge the numbers so their shows will go in syndication which is more lucrative than movie deals. What if I told you the NFL numbers are so bad, they were ordered by the NFL to come up with “acceptable” ratings numbers to show the sponsors they are still of value? I have MORE than 1 source at that company, and one of them is a die-hard Trumpster.
Sounds like the advertisers have a pretty good criminal fraud case.
