I am not watching the SOTU. I'm not even having the DVR alt channel tuned. Fuck Trump's Ratings!

.

The best way to get to that fucker is to give him the lowest viewing audience possible.

My DVR records the primary and the last tuned channel. I'm making sure it's tuned to something else.

Even though I'm not a Nielsen family, the cable viewership gets resolved a day or two later for accurate results.

I prefer to read commentary about that pig's antics tomorrow morning. I cannot bear to listen to that orange asshole's voice just whining about his lot in life. Fuck him with a nail-studded dildo. Excuse my language--seriously. I absolutely LOATHE him.

Get out the old rabbit ears antenna and listen over the air. Not to watch, maybe to just listen. I cannot take both watching and listening to him for any real length of time.

Or, I might not bother

There will be ubiquitous coverage tomorrow, and a re-hashing of the hash, and I'll see how much of that I can take before ignoring that as well.

It doesn't matter what you tune your DVR to.

I'm not watching because I just don't want to hear the clown talk.

But you or me not watching doesn't affect the ratings at all.

.

The major cable companies send in their data later on to provide more accurate numbers.

Those number take 24-36 hours to come in.

Some numbers do come in later.

The numbers that have to do with shows that were recorded and watched later, or streamed later.

But these all come from Nielson families.

Your cable company doesn't know which channel you have your tv tuned to.
