Thanks for the number “in context”.
As I told my friend this morning the NY Times doesn’t cite were they source these numbers from, such as Nielsen.
It therefore is a hit piece by some haplASS hack, who has an axe to grind.
How could Beck’s numbers crater? They didn’t. The times and all my friends make it sound like he lost 1 million viewers in his daily numbers. That would be one hell of hit for a guy who can draw 1/2 a million people to Washington, D.C. in a hot and muggy August afternoon just 6 months ago.
If he had lost 1 million viewers a day that would translate to roughly 20% and sure, advertisers wouldn’t be happy. Neither would Beck or Ailes.
“IF” he lost 1 million in a week, which still doesn’t seem probable, then again maybe Beck confirmed the numbers, his actual loss is just under 4%. Not a problem if isn’t trending and I doubt it will.
Beck said all contracts have an expiration date and his is in December. He praised Fox (not that I do any longer) and stated that his first contract was sealed with Roger Ailes over a handshake. He said that he has always been treated fairly at Fox, that he had no such concerns and that the ny slimes was wrong about everything in the article. He also pointed out that the ny slimes... a year ago... attacked him for being a doom sayer and listed several things Beck had predicted (such as high gas prices and food inflation) that they had accused him of being a delusional fear monger... over a year ago... and these delusional predictions have become front page stories in the communist rag today.
These are our enemies doing what enemies do... trying to destroy us by destroying our confidence and our will to fight. Yeah... like that is going to happen... FUBO!
