President Trump has often said he is good for ratings. It seems CNN and MSNBC agree. One analysis claims that in 2016 he received $5.6 billion in free media during the primary and the general elections. This is an astonishing sum but goes a long way to supporting the president’s assertion. Love him or hate him, people were tuning in to see what he said and the corporate media knew it.
Some of the same outlets that got eyeballs and clicks during the 2016 election and continued to accumulate views by being rabidly anti-Trump for four years are worried. Or at least contemplating what their strategy should be going into what is already a very boring Biden era. His speech following the Electoral College vote was full of platitudes yet received drooling coverage from the corporate media.
Another indication of the media’s reliance on Trump for the last five years is a question asked by The Washington Post‘s David Ignatius on a December podcast:
“One thing we can be sure of is that Donald Trump is going to wanna take up as much of our national bandwidth as he can,” Ignatius observed, adding, “How do we get off of that ‘sugar high’ and treat him after Jan. 20 as a former president?”

CNN is ATT
MSNBC is Comcast
These two malicious telecom operations have destroyed the Country.
Death by a million cuts. Cut cable tv.
They will be very upset at a new national media organization that will broadcast nationally, taking over what is a vacant journalism market.
Donald Trump Jr. will be the CEO.
Welcome to Trump Broadcasting LLC, HQ’d in Florida.
Right dumbshits... don’t worry about the upcoming destruction of the greatest country on Earth by two of the most incompetent, unethical, vile individuals since the jug-eared halfrican, worry about your ratings.
Exactly become a chord cutter as even Fox is just going to be a stenographer for Biden and he is going to treat the press like his little puppy
By going out of business like they deserve.
The fun part is, as an EX president, he will be under NO obligation to entertain the fools in the eneMedia . . . he will be able to function as a democrat and get only favorable interviews, where he will be free to go on without rudeness and angry furrowed brows. The enemies will miss it, save for a few who will be invited as sacrificial targets.
How could they destroy the country when their viewership is trivial? I remember before the 2016 election Trump was talking to Wulf Blister on CNN and joked that maybe 20,000 people are watching this.
Every thirty minutes on the radio, there is the MSM news networks celebrating a President Elect Biden victory. You would think Biden is the Savior of the World. Biden can hardly put together a coherent sentence without a teleprompter.
DNC Propaganda Machine is in control of the news.
They are going to drop like a bag of cement and I hope FoxNews goes with em.
My guess is Fox goes faster than them since their rating are today off by as much as 80% and I am telling everyone “We don’t watch Fox anymore”
Watch OANN(women are really beautiful) or NewsMax.
I don’t watch any of them because I prefer to read but, I have seen a few News Articles from each and I’m fine with them.
Fox turned on their customer base and GF Themselves.
Lachlan and his wife are Aussie Trash...
These two malicious telecom operations have destroyed the Country.
My mind immediately clicked on the film "The President's Analyst(1967)" wherein TPC (The Phone Company) was attempting to take over the world. Every human would be prenatally implanted with a tiny Cerebrum Communicator in the brain. Of course that was pre-divestiture AT&T, but even back then there was a great deal of animosity to make the plot embraceable. The film let us know that James Coburn, Godfrey Cambridge and Severn Darden appeared to win the struggle, but the TPC secretly was securely on the path to global hegemony.
I finally got my 76 year old mother to do so. Proud day for me. Starve The Beast.
They will go soonest because the other alphabets, hence also their viewers, still blame FoxNews for everything they think is wrong with Conservatives. Fox has angered their viewership with no way to snag new viewers who already hated them and will continued to.
The Corporate Media Ponders a Post-Trump Era and They Are Worried.
Of course they’re worried. They collectively have their noses so far up the Demoskunks butts, they are afraid that if someone passes gas,they will choak to death.
Yours is the post of the month. Perfectly stated.
That’s a keeper.
Great graphic
