This meme omits a pretty key point:
š¹āIn terms of total viewers, āFox News Liveāsā total viewership of 1.106 million slightly outnumbered the total viewership for āInside With Jen Psaki,ā which stands at 1.094 million viewers before the rounded figure.ā

āŖļøPsakiās show did edge out āFox News Liveā in the 25-54 demo (137K to 123K) at the same time slot. Not too shocking that the vast majority of viewers of both shows are elderly, who watches cable news at noon on a Sunday?
āŖļøBut putting Tuckerās pouty face on the meme is pretty ridiculous considering he dominates the ratings. For example, on Wed Tucker had 3.2M viewers, almost triple Psakiās show, and 460K in the 26-54 demo, a quadrupling. In fact, every Fox show airing after 7 am had more viewers.

āŖļøAs an aside, I was shocked at how low CNNās ratings are. They didnāt have any show crack 1M on Wed, even in prime time. On weekends, most of their shows have less than 500K viewers.
Itās funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but thatās not whatās happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed itās rigged when it suits their political ends.
This is almost laughingly misleading, as it leaves out everything before the letter.
āŖļøAfter being repeatedly lampooned by the Smothers Brothers over Vietnam, Johnson finally had enough. One night at 3 am he called the head of CBS William Paley, demanding that he āget those bastards off my back.ā
āŖļøPaley then asked the heads of CBS entertainment to get them to back off of LBJ. However, instead of backing off the Smothers Brothers doubled down, booking a folk musician performing āWaist Deep,ā an anti-war song about a soldier being stuck in the mud while āthe big fool says to push on,ā clearly a dig at LBJ.
āŖļøAt the last minute, CBS cut the song from the pre-taped show to the outrage of the Smothers. They continued to push the boundaries off and on for the rest of his presidency, with CBS sometimes cutting segments that they thought went too far. Basically, it was a soft form of censorship.
āŖļøIt wasnāt until Johnson made his surprise announcement not to run in 1968 ...
