Media Corruption Election Fallout

[GURPS]

But that’s not even close to all! Corporate media is melting down. First, on Tuesday, the Daily Beast ran a story headlined, “Chris Wallace Quits CNN to Build Future in Streaming.” Okay, Chris, sure.



Buh-bye! Antique neocon, RINO, boomer, and sell-out journalist Chris Wallace, 77, announced early this week he’s “quitting” CNN to, and I am not making this up, pursue podcasting. Like Joe Rogan.

Good luck.

To his credit, Chris was the first CNN anchor to correctly predict Trump’s win on election night. Now he’s seeking productive employment. “This is the first time in 55 years I‘ve been between jobs,” he said. “I am actually excited and liberated by that.” Well, he’s liberated, that part is true.

We may glean a hint at what actually motivated the veteran broadcaster from other headlines. Just like Jack Smith, Chris is quitting before he can be fired. The Economic Times ran a story Tuesday headlined, “Massive layoffs coming soon: CNN to sack hundreds including top stars due to dismal election ratings.”

Womp womp.

CNN’s star has fallen faster than an expired StarLink satellite. Once the gold standard of network news, CNN only garnered 5.1 million viewers on election night, “severely trailing behind MSNBC and Fox News.” The podcasting business is about to get a lot busier. Top CNN anchors like Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett are reportedly on the chopping block.

There was more. Shore News ran a story, also Tuesday, headlined “Comcast to Put MSNBC and Oprah Founded Oxygen Networks Up For Sale in Cable TV Sell Off.” It’s a fire sale. MSNBC’s ratings tanked by over fifty percent after the election. Going out for business!



It’s baffling. How could this happen, given all the talent at MSNBC? While Kamala Harris was losing on election night, as CNN’s white anchors listened and nodded sagely, black anchoress Joy Reid opined that the high numbers of black voters bubbling ballots for Trump resulted from “black anti-blackness,” and opined those black voters were “down with White Supremacy.”

Black White Supremacy. That’s the kind of keen, insightful analysis that MSNBC viewers “enjoy.”

Anyway, early this week, Comcast —which owns MSNBC— announced it is “considering” selling the news network. Making that kind of ambiguous announcement is a way of inviting offers. Comcast is saying, please, somebody take this crappy network before we have to auction it off. Take a look at the MSNBC anchors’ glum faces while far-left Axios publisher Frank Bruni scolded them as useless elitists:

Sane Americans were forced to endure four years of MSNBC’s sneering opinions and smug political preening. Our measuring cups of sympathy are dry for these folks’ sudden and unexpected severance. They’d drunk the Kool-Aid. They were high on their own supply. They’d all planned profitable exits into a new Kamala Harris Administration (shudders of relief at avoiding that horrific potentiality are perfectly appropriate after reading the phrase), as the Democrats’ media-government-media employment turnstiles would have spun like roulette wheels.

But now, with the far-left media rapidly shrinking, and with the Trump Administration hiring conservative MAGA favorites like Matt Gaetz, these lunatic leftists have nowhere to go. Maybe podcasting. Or, as Nancy Pelosi used to call it, they can try “funemployment.”
