Election 24

MSNBC and CNN are praying or perhaps begging Trump to come out of the shadows. They are dying on the vine. While they still spend an inordinate amount of time rehashing old Trump stuff they need new material. Here are the results from 2022. Overall, Fox News Channel finished the year with an average prime time audience of 2.33 million viewers, well ahead of MSNBC (1.208 million viewers) and CNN (730,000 viewers). Fox News was down just 1% from 2021, while MSNBC declined 21% and CNN dropped a massive 33%. This will be the key to the upcoming presidential election especially if it is a rematch between Trump and Biden. Biden will hide out and the press will campaign for him just like last time. Issues like crime, the border and the economy will be placed on the back burner while climate and abortion will be front and center. The cultural issues like LGBT and teaching gender change in school will disappear completely. The headlines everyday will be some negative comment about Trump. All said the election will be determined by spending money on ballot gathering instead of TV ads. This will be a welcome change.
