21. These jerks really think they shape public opinion

the wag those loudspeakers up on posts shape it in North Korea.

Uh, wrong country and wrong culture, guys, and if you turn off your core audience, expect them all to turn you off. And if there is ever a Russia style choke hold put on the net, expect non participation there , too, as ewe find alternative and old school ways to communicate, making maximum use of sarcasm and irony, two things this bunch will just NEVER GET.

Lower ratings are just the first stage. Those will continue to drop, people either offended by the McFox content or just following the current trend of finding better content online. Broadcast news is going to have to fight to keep viewers and the likely demise of DBS might be the sad but necessary wakeup call for that.

Well, unless they chicken out again and Bari Weiss is out on her bony butt about the time the first anti discrimination lawsuits start to pour in over her very selective firings.
