Preaching to the Choir

Don Surber is known for speaking (and writing) his mind. Here he blogs on the subject of the MSM. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
This summer, 91% of the news stories on ABC, CBS and NBC about President Trump were negative, according to a study by the Media Research Council.

His job approval went from 44% on Memorial Day to 44% on Independence Day to 43% on Labor Day, as measured by Rasmussen.

Now if I were an advertiser and saw this, I would question why I am buying ads from these Bozos.

They huffed and puffed and could not blow the man down.

ABC, CBS, and NBC are so weak that combined they could not blow a candle out.
As Surber could have written, but doesn't, the three 'legacy' networks preach to the choir. Who watches their news shows, and PBS? People who like a left-wing slant to their news.

Who doesn't watch the 'legacy' nets? Trump voters don't; they are over at Fox News catching Hannity or Baier or, it's rumored, Laura Ingraham soon.

The old big three plus one aren't going to change many minds. What they do is segment the 'progressive' viewership.

Ironically, that makes reaching 'progressive' viewers expensive while reaching the conservative/populist viewship is a bargain as it's all concentrated in one place! Rupert Murdoch is a canny dude.
