Worthless CNN. Viewership implodes. Conservative Rightwing Slant Turning Viewers Away Even More Now

52. Life outside the right-wing bubble can be surprising

Viewers might not care for so-called “conservative” (reactionary) “balance” and change the channel. Big-name right-wing influencers might not draw in legions of viewers after all. And viewers might turn away from “Fox News lite” in repulsion.

In some circles, circles found less and less in the US in these troubled times, this is called viewer feedback. It’s also known as “the invisible hand of the marketplace,” where consumers choose what they’ll watch under their own volition, not because they are forced to.

I may not be a corporate executive paid in a year more than many people see in their lifetimes, but even I can see that this is not a winning strategy to gain viewership.

And the cause of this is not the Democratic Party, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, the League of Women Voters or magical gerbils from outer space, but the senior executives of CNN who decided to cater to the reactionaries—and ran off many of the viewers they already had.

In days gone by, they would have been fired for blunders on this scale. But that doesn’t seem to happen any more.
