Audience decline an old story

I'll read the FReepers who watch say about it :-)

Amen! If I had a news program, I would see to it that only the news was reported. No eyebrow lifting, no eyeball rolling, no, "Well, the American public threw a temper tantrum today," and no invented documents. If the news item offended a birkenstocker or a clean cut NRA member, the news would still be reported in a professional manner. Can't the alphabet channels understand this? The place for opinion and slant and sarcasm is on the opinion shows. CBS news is so tainted with pink journalism that they don't care about revenue decline, their joke status, or the value of their network's stock. Neither does their parent company. The party line comes before everything, even survival. Forgive my venom tonight.

My newspaper pulls stuff of the Reuters and AP wire that would curl your hair. They have articles on terrorism written by Arabs. They can't work the spell check function. Oh! Don't get me started. And the Birkenstockers think that the paper is "conservative." It's all about redistribution veiled as diversity and such Orwellian claptrap. They want me to subscribe to the fish wrap! I'm going to tell them why they are losing readership one day, after I've had a couple of strong cups of joe.

ashtanga you are a great American!

And if enough of us state our opinion of the so called News slant being spewed out by these anti/american pukes from the 60's and their viewership keeps going down and down maybe they will fire/retire all of them

Today, roughly 90 percent of television-watchers don't bother to tune in on an average night.

10% of the people watch Dan Rather? I don't know a single
person that watches network news. Everyone watches cable
news or gets their news from the Internet.
