Eric, I can’t believe you didn’t post this article and video:
“Eric Boehlert Annihilates The Press For Appeasing Right-Wing Trump Voters For Four Years
On Cross Connection, Boehlert tells Tiffany Cross, "There's been a complete failure to understand this has been a hate movement, this has been a dangerous, radical hate movement, that the Republican party has completely enveloped."
You might have heard me cheering when I watched it. I have only one request — next time you ask why the media doesn’t care about Biden voters or Obama voters, please don’t forget Hillary voters. Millions of us women are still furious and heartbroken about her loss.
What I find amazing is that either Newsmax or OANN could attract any viewers at all. The former is dull as dirt - soporific. A bunch of angry uncharismatic bores droning amidst plain production at best. The latter is more interesting because what happens there is just plain crazy. OANN is an insane asylum of people whose talent is somewhere between Newsmax and Infowars. I mean, who the hell is Alex Salvi and why do they have a 14 year old hosting a program?
Like O’Reilly before him, Hannity found it impossible to stay on top of Bullshit Mountain. But what none of them ever thought was possible, the entire landscape is moving under them.
It's great news that Hannity is failing at Fox News but I'm just startled that for so long, so many watched this guy. I read that Hannity earns around 40 million a year, that's more than Francisco Lindor, the newly acquired shortstop for the New York Mets will make this coming season and likely years to come. I would feel much better if Fox was slipping because people have woken up and are turning to more fact based news like CNN and MSNBC. But the fact that Newsmax and OAN is taking much of Fox's share suggests that a lot of folks, not all, but a lot didn't wake up and see the light. They have found better propaganda that aligned with their confirmation bias on these newer more outrageous outlets.
This is very welcome news, Eric. But as we both know, once Biden settles into the Presidency and the Trump trials (in New York) are over, ALL the cable news ratings will plummet.
On another note, please write an essay exhorting the media NOT to cover Trump and his family once they leave the White House (unless it’s about the aforementioned trials).
One of the things I've noticed over the last month or two, Fox News and its online version (Fox Lies Online? Can't remember what it's called), have been putting on ads during NFL games. I don't remember seeing them last year, or even earlier in the football season.
They're getting desperate for viewers that aren't sitting around their homes in Boca waiting for the sweet release of death.
I think it's ironic since the red hats all said they weren't going to watch the NFL anymore.
Hannity's post-election ratings collapse

I want a news presenter not a presenter of how I should feel about the news. "Good riddance tabloid media" can't come soon enough.
