* Steve,
You could write an reoccurring series on how the Advertising Industry favors left-wing media outlets over conservative news and talk radio channels.
CNN has a third of the FNC audience yet it seems to at least pull in substantially more Fortune 1000 advertising.
Part of this is perhaps the fact that the Advertising Industry’s bias to the 18-35 demographic.
When in the car I am amazed that despite his huge audience, Rush Limbaugh as a pretty down market selection of advertisers.
But I lot of this suspect is the work of Liberal TPTB and TWMNBN networking. So much for the persistent left-wing myth of the power of Conservative Madison Avenue as in IKE was still president.
* It’s the left wing bias of those in advertising. How come GM, Ford and other automobile makers don’t advertise on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh? The advertising “industry” has a de-facto boycott of right wing media. Rupert Murdoch’s sons run Fox now. They are silly rich liberals and they salivate after getting the same mix of national advertisers CNN gets. And they know that all they have to do is steer Fox News left-lib and they will get them. In fact they are already doing it by putting Meygyn Kelly in her slot
I have seen the most cheap-ass advertising on Fox’s big 6PM news hour for automobile window repair and they will be on night after night. And that’s just the one that immediately comes to mind.
* Murdoch explained to a friend of mine: To do business in America, you don’t need all the Jews in New York on your side, but you do need some of them.
* That’s partly behind Trump’s current success running a Buchananite campaign, which generally would repel more or less all New York Jews if run by a Pat Buchanan or similar figure.
* RT’s coverage of the European migration crisis has been top notch, complete contrast to the BBC. The Russians will stick up for their fellow Europeans and ultimately don’t want a bunch of failed states on their western border. Thing is in Europe you have a whole bunch of nationalist parties who are sympathetic to Russian concerns, in the US you have just Trump.
* I follow some other European news outlets, and the Euros are really clueless about the racial/ethnic/HBD issues, of the sort that gets discussed on this blog. The stuff that we discuss here routinely is so far outside of their frame of reference, it may as well be from a different planet.
What I said above holds most strongly for ethically homogeneous countries, so Eastern Europe, Nordics, etc. I would assume that the French, the Brits, and the Germans have had the most exposure to these topics, by the virtue of their sizable non-Euro minority populations. But with their lack of First Amendment-type protections of free speech (not that ours is worth much), they are even more unwilling to discuss the issues openly, or even acknowledge the issues exist.
* Although paleocons probably make up 25% of Internet commenters or bloggers, they make up at most 5% of the general population. There’s simply just not enough of a market to pay for a cable news channel. Same reason you don’t see a libertarian, democratic socialist or fascist news channel in the US.
* Benghazi is a red herring, heaven forbid that FoxNews actually talk about the flood of Muslims and Africans into the Europe or our open borders or the nightmarish impact that free trade has had on our economy.
It’s really amusing to watch FoxNews talk about our economy, nothing but rah, rah, pump monkeys. They never touch off-shoring, H1-B visa workers, etc. Then they wonder why the consumer has stopped buying Chinese made junk.
And their constant attacks on Trump are just revolting. Murdoch’s attack barbie – Megan Kelly can’t stop trying to stab Trump, same with a bunch of the other NeoCon talking heads. They hate him because he’s a populist and the only one who wants to secure the borders and throw the bums out.
FoxNews is at best a Neo-Con/Globalist propaganda network.
Conservatism is a movement of cowards led by crooks.
This is perhaps the best definition of Conservatism I’ve ever read. The whole movement is a joke and snob fest for a lot of monied types to a large extent. These people never cared about anything about Western civilization or it’s preservation.
* Steve, you are missing the big point about Benghazi. Obama/Hillary ran guns to the ISIS folks to fight Assad through Benghazi and when their pet jihadis killed the Ambassador and Navy SEALS were fighting for their lives they threw them under the bus.
Not only an Iran-Contra moment in violation of about a dozen laws, but massive disloyalty to their own ambassador and Navy SEALs. So that is a big issue. Deservedly.
And as noted, Murdoch’s sons run Fox News, and its moving VERY Liberal. Megyn Kelly and the rest of the actual anchor and editorial people DESPISE Donald Trump as a traitor to their class, and are out to get him. As are the uber-liberal Murdoch sons who despise Israel, White people in general, White ethno-states, and want mass third world immigration into the West because that’s their religious dogma.
Yes Fox News when it fires Roger Ailes and makes the people who work there and the Murdoch sons happy will implode in audience share and likely trigger cable-dumping among its viewers. And Fox News will no longer supply the $1 billion in profits that pays down the heavy debt load of Fox/News Corp. So what? The Murdoch sons are idiots — they really believe their own diversity/pc/anti-White stuff.
But to start up a competitor to Fox News is now almost impossible because of capital costs. Not even Trump could fund it. Cable is in rapid decline over consumer pressure — people can’t afford $100 a month just to watch TV when rabbit ears or some flat wave antenna can pull in broadcast for free and there is a lot of low cost or no cost streaming content. People will pay a $40 internet bill over a $100 cable bill every month.
And its affecting mobile phones too. What’s behind T-Mobile/ATT/Verizon price wars? Consumers don’t have the money to spend. See also the wave of SoCal grocery store consolidations and the failure of Haagen and Fresh and Easy.
Meanwhile Ben Carson has a big lead in Iowa. No surprise, the Magical Negro, Republican Version, is a failing of White people who having abandoned belief in Jesus have found it in some Racial Redeemer: King, Obama, now Carson. [I say this as an agnostic who understands that the vast majority of people MUST believe in something to give meaning to their lives.]
