I now look at every morsel from the MSM from the perspective of what political angle are they pushing now. If one can even believe this metric, which is questionable, I think Reuters is pushing a “source grapes” angle on the game. Since the evil, Trump supporting, Patriots won, then the MSM pitch is “so what; nobody was watching anyway.”

Yes, it’s possible that roiders news is pissed because Trump’s America won last night, so they will want to paint it in the worst light possible through the ratings fail.
But the ads and the choice of lady gag gag was a blatant effort to push a lefty agenda, so they too failed to generate higher ratings.
