"How are the liberal networks like CNN and MSNBC doing now that they no longer have President Donald Trump to attack anymore to feed the TDS of their liberal viewers?
"How they are doing is badly.
"According to a VIP analysis, while all the networks took a hit, the ratings for both CNN and MSNBC have taken a huge dive."
. . . "So what are their options? They’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Saying nice things about Joe Biden and trying to spin him as the second coming when people can clearly see how flawed and deficient he is doesn’t really work. It’s not stoking their hate.
"As we wrote, what did CNN’s Brian Stelter do, he went after Newsmax for their alleged ratings drop post-Trump. Their response was to throw it right back on him and do a stomp all over his head.
“Only CNN would do a story on Newsmax’s drop in ratings when its own Nielsen total day impressions fell by 45% last week compared to the week after the election, and Brian Stelter’s own ‘Reliable Sources’ show fell by 44% over the same period with, more recently, his show having lost nearly 1 million viewers since January of this year.”
"But Stelter is trying to hook onto a new person to sell to his viewers to hate: Tucker Carlson.
"He even proclaimed it on his show, “Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump,” literally trying to sell Tucker to his audience as a replacement for Trump. “Tucker has taken Trump’s place as a right-wing leader, an outrage generator, a fire-starter.' ” . . .
CNN’s war on Fox News goes nuclear – with a twist "CNN’s on again-on again war (that’s not a typo – it never ends) against Fox News is getting hotter, most likely because CNN is once again seriously trailing Fox News in the ratings. Brian Stelter, his network’s leading attack dog, was at it again yesterday on his weekly program CNN Reliable (sic) Sources.
"The program led with a full-frontal attack on Fox News’s most highly rated show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and its host, veteran reporter, editor, and television talk show host Tucker Carlson. CNN’s online transcript of the program offers this headline:" . . . More...
It was CNN, and Stelter’s program in particular, that assisted in promoting the effort that has now reached the halls of Congress to censor and de-platform Fox News from the country’s cable, satellite, and streaming television providers.
BPR: CNN’s Brian Stelter’s campaign of hate: ‘Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump’ . . . "Stelter proceeded to give a heavily biased, even distorted take on a series of recent stories Carlson covered last week, to include his little tiff with the Pentagon, mocking Meghan Markle, and the “berating” of a New York Times reporter.
"Again, while sounding envious of Carlson’s success, he called out the Murdochs.
" 'What Tucker wants is attention. What Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch want for him is attention — as this headline put it, he’s the post Trump MAGA champion,” Stelter claimed.
“ 'Fox News is increasingly the Tucker Carlson channel, and the Murdochs recently cut a deal with Tucker to expand his profile on Fox’s streaming service, too,” he ranted on. “It’s ultimately all about the Murdocks and what they want. How they’re going to keep the profits flowing by giving the viewers more and more radicalized content — led by Tucker Carlson.' ” . . .
