CABLE NEWS DIED LAST NIGHT AS 185 MILLION AND GROWING VIEW TUCKER-TRUMP INTERVIEW

Akron, OH: Today, Tom Zawistowski, President of the National We the People Convention (WTPC) organization, proclaimed that “Cable News Died Last Night” as the Tucker Carlson interview with Donald Trump reached 185 MILLION views on “X”, formally know as Twitter, crushing the “Republican Debate” on FoxNews and reaching the largest single event audience in US History.

Zawistowski said, “What America and the World witnessed last night is truly HISTORIC. Before last night the most viewed debate in US History was the September 2016 Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton with 84 Million Viewers on ALL Networks Combined. Trump’s “Counter Debate Interview” viewership is more than double that this morning with 185 Million views - and GROWING. The most viewed singe television event in US History was the July 1969 Apollo 11 Moon Landing which drew 150 Million viewers - when American had a much smaller population - and the next closest events are Super Bowls which hit 110 Million Viewers. In July, this July, overall viewership of cable TV dropped below 30 percent for the first time ever. Viewership for Broadcast and Cable TV dropped below 50% for the first time ever. This is a sea change in our culture and the reason that “legacy media” can no longer control the political narrative in the US or the World. They have destroyed their credibility with lies and blatant partisan political interference and viewers are NEVER coming back. They have been replaced because they can not be trusted. Last night proves it. Cable News is DEAD!”

Zawistowski concluded, “In the 2020 Election a TOTAL of 158,431,190 Americans Voted for ALL Presidential Candidates combined. Trump has had 185 Million Views of his Message in this one event. Never in History could any politician get such massive reach to his audience for ANY PRICE. Trump did it for free. Look at it another way. There are approximately 257 Million Americans over 18 in the US. So theoretically 72% of ALL eligible voters, 185 Million, cared enough to tune in to hear what Trump had to say. Now it’s much less than that because many people watch more than once and I am sure that millions of viewers were from overseas, some say only 10% watch it all. Still that is 18.5 Million Voters. What were they looking for? They were looking for Truth and Honesty instead of a pre-packaged corporate “show” that did not reflect their views or interests like FoxNews delivered. It was rejected by the American people - “Bigly”. The Corporate media still haven’t gotten the message but they will in the 2024 election.”

LAST NIGHT BROADCAST AND CABLE NEWS DIED! 

by John Nolte, Breitbart.com, August 15, 2023

For the first time in history, overall viewership of cable TV dropped below 30 percent in July. This is terrible news for a left-wing Hollywood that has utilized the affirmative action of cable TV to prop up its divisive, terrible, and hyper-political programming for decades.

Reality is about to slap Hollywood in its fat, smug, fascist face: 

Broadcast and cable TV dropped to a new low in July 2023 in terms of total share among American viewers — dropping below 50% of total TV usage in the United States for the first time, according to Nielsen.

Meanwhile, streaming services like YouTube and Netflix accounted for a record 38.7% of total U.S. TV usage, the category’s largest share reported in Nielsen’s The Gauge monthly report to date. Overall TV usage increased 0.2% during the month (and usage among audiences under 18 was up 4%).

In July, cable’s share fell below 30% for the first time, losing a full share point to stand at 29.6%. Broadcast usage fell 3.6%, down 0.8 points. On a year-over-year basis, broadcast viewing was down 5.4% (-1.5 points), and cable viewing was down 12.5% (-4.8 points).

So, according to Nielsen, fewer than 50 percent of America’s entertainment viewing came from the traditional sources of linear TV or broadcast and cable TV (which includes satellite providers like DirecTV). Where did all those viewers go? Well, they didn’t go outside. Overall, TV viewership increased in July. Instead, they went online. We are either watching TV through streaming services like Netflix or messing around on YouTube.

But-but-but if TV viewership is up, isn’t that good for Hollywood?

No, no, it is not.

For going on 40 years, cable-satellite TV has been the one-legged stool keeping Hollywood in business. Instead of Americans paying to view something specific, we were paying $150 a month for a giant package of entertainment we never watched. And because we paid for and subsidized channels we never watched through our cable bill, Hollywood could afford to keep basement-rated, left-wing propaganda networks like CNN, the Disney Channel, the Comedy Channel, MTV, etc., operational. You might not watch those outlets but you fund them if you pay for cable TV.

But as you can see in that report, people are canceling their cable subscriptions and moving online. Sadly for Hollywood, there is no way for them to recreate their rigged cable TV game online. People will now only pay for the outlets they watch, which is very different from cable TV, where they pay for a hundred outlets they didn’t watch. Meritfinally matters again. Once cable TV dies, and it will within a decade, Hollywood can only make money through merit — by delivering a streaming outlet or outlets we’re willing to pay for.

And now we get to my favorite part…

Because Hollywood sucks at delivering content, we’re willing to pay for, other than Netflix, all of these streaming services are losing billions. Bottom line: Americans are moving away from the type of entertainment that delivered billions in annual unearned dollars to Hollywood and moving towards entertainment that costs Hollywood billions.

I laid this all out in greater detail here, but this is a seismic change in the way Americans consume their TV. Once this changeover is complete, Hollywood will actually have to create a product we like because millions of conservatives will no longer fund dozens of left-wing propaganda outlets like CNN just so they can watch Fox News or Turner Classic Movies.

I kid you not: canceling your cable or satellite package does more damage to left-wing Hollywood than anything else.
