TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they’re tuning out]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto"><a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-fatigue-trump-gop-democrat-cnn-msnbc-b67aebae1a0853a1a3170ac588100bbd" rel="nofollow ugc">https://apnews.com/article/politics-fatigue-trump-gop-democrat-cnn-msnbc-b67aebae1a0853a1a3170ac588100bbd</a></p>
<p dir="auto">What's real: Weeks after USA election, MSNBC &amp; CNN are still down 50%.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">After election night through Dec. 13, the prime-time viewership of MSNBC was an average of 620,000, down 54% from the pre-election audience this year, the Nielsen company said. For the same time comparison, CNN’s average of 405,000 viewers was down 45%.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">But people are not "exhausted by political news".</p>
<p dir="auto">Fox is up. &amp; "alternative media", Twitter/X &amp; independents, are way up.</p>
<p dir="auto">Fox has LOST many of its older viewers to independent media - even as Fox picks up new viewers who flee CNN &amp; MSNBC.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">At Fox...the post-election average of 2.68 million viewers is up 13%, Nielsen said. Since the election, 72% of the people watching one of those three cable networks in the evening were watching Fox News, compared to 53% prior to election day.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Remember, Associated Press is also part of "Fake News" system which suffers.</p>
<p dir="auto">AP wants to say "Oh, it's not any of us, it's our audience being lazy &amp; tired" - rather than truth.</p>
<p dir="auto">Truth is: Fake News system - AP, MSBNC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NYT, BBC. NPR, WaPo - has lied, for years. &amp; people are sick of it</p>
