I don't think the major networks understand how they offend half of the available audience, namely conservatives. But if they are in business to make a profit, rather than advance a political agenda, I suggest they try to understand.

Why not commission a focus group - a real group of conservatives, not a manufactured audience of rinos. Ask them to watch their news shows for a week and provide feedback - real feedback that will be taken seriously. Don't play games with questionnaires to lead an answer or dilute an opinion. Then, they will have the necessary data to make strategic decisions about their shows and stars. Personally, it's so painful for me to watch NBC, I couldn't tell you which channel it is on our Comcast service or what the shows are. But if I knew NBC was serious, I would consider giving my opinions.

It's simple. What business are they in?

No more McClatchey Watch? That sucks. I hope someone picks up the reporting they did.

NBC will fill the 5 primetime hours vacated by Leno with a new, ongoing version of “the Biggest Loser”, starring Jeff Zucker.
