Ignorning the Feast and Fighting Over Crumbs

Apparently, CNN has now fallen to third place behind MSNBC. The problem the FOX rivals are going to have is that there have always been more conservatives than liberals in America, so by ceding the conservatives MSNBC and CNN are fighting over the smallest piece of pie — and I guess MSNBC has won by being more earnest about it. Still, FOX News has higher rating than both CNN and MSNBC combined since it’s the only one smart enough to go after the larger viewer segment. I guess that’s an indication of how leftward journalist skew that they’ve ignored basic economics for so long because giving a fair showing to conservative viewpoints was just too anathema for them. Thus they go the way of the dodo and the newspaper.

  1. Speaking of newspapers… why do people think they’re useful? I mean we don’t use telegraphs or the horse and buggy any more. Newspapers are an outdated, inefficient mode of communication.

  2. Reminds me of childhood when we’d put two spiders in a jar and try to make them fight. Maybe we can put CNN and MSNBC in a big jar. “Two go in, one come out.” Then we can prod them with sticks and shake the jar until they fight. Even if they don’t fight (because they’re a bunch of wussy pacifists) it would still be fun to prod them with sticks and bounce them off the inside of the jar.

  3. Going the way of the newspaper indeed. The only reason the messiah wants to bail out newspapers is that said newspapers are so loony left, they will continue to support “O” no matter what he does. It’s not the “outdated medium” that keeps me from buying newspapers, it’s the content. Even if I owned a bird, I would be hesitant to line the bottom of the cage with most newspapers, fearing the bird might happen to look down and develop brain damage. But then again, that’s the left…they’d rater go broke than except that no one wants to hear / read their demented point of view.

  4. Lost market share? At least they kept their ideological purity and went down with their heads held high. Murdoch is laughing his ass off right now.

    In that spirit, I nominate myself for “Worst Person in the World”. It is a singular honor to be on a twit’s hate list.

  5. I’m sure there is a back-up plan in the works to keep the newspapers alive. And yes, it does involve using your tax dollars. It’s all in the name of fairness. In an leftist egalitarian utopia, there is no right and wrong. “Wrong” should be funded and “right” should be punished.

  6. But…but…but…think of all of the trees that will be saved if the newspapers fail. Come to think of it, with all of the trillions that O is printing, I’m surprised that there are any trees left.

  7. Ha Ha, The Hot Air article mention cnn and reporting in the same sentence. Leftists are turning to msnbc because cnn and nbc aren’t buiased enough, and don’t speak retard like keith uberdouche.

  8. The real problem is ALL our big Universities are run by Marxists and socialists. They propagandize the young “skulls full of mush” and they graduste into the “media” and government. The media promotes socialism and the average high school graduste doesn’t know why they are wrong.

    The future of a prosperous middle class in America is in dire straights. Personally I see God’s hand in this. We are being brought down for allowing the perverts to take over.

  9. Just dawned on me: You know your a useless pos organization when an even bigger waste of airspace beats you in the ratings. the scum over at msnbc must be snorting extra cocaine this week.

  10. Well Frank, CNN and MSNBC are also trying to get a leftard audience that knows nothing about this country’s politics to watch a network with 24-hour political programming. Kinda like having the calculus textbook booth at a Britney Spears concert.

  11. “Polish bunny droppings and they are still bunny droppings…….they’re just prettier bunny droppings.

    I’m sorry, I taught my kids not to use the T..d word, so I really can’t use it. I try to keep the hypocrisy in check.

  12. This is the exact time for a right-wing oil zillionaire out of, say, Texas to buy up an ‘MSNBC’ and turn it into a real rightist network. None of this ‘fair and balanced crap’! Why bother? We’re right, they’re wrong!
    How about ‘kill a commie/socialist/liberal for America’ sort of presentation?

  13. Ignoring (typo in your heading) the Feast and Fighting Over Crumbs

    Same reason that fashion designers all but ignore the 60% of American women with curves and extra padding and disposable income, in favor of unemployed teenage toothpick bodies.
