On cable news that most people are seeing it.

Almost nobody is watching cable news, we are obviously but we are a tiny minority.

I don’t know where the vast majority of the United States of America gets its news but it’s not on MSNBC CNN and Faux. If 70 million people tuned in every night to MSNBC and watched Rachel Maddow, probably all this disappears but of course that does not happen like it did in the Walter Cronkite days.
