FILTHY LIBERALS
O M G ,………….nobody cares.
I stopped cable TV so many years ago, I forget how many. I just was not watching it but I was watching documentaries on youtube and I was getting my news from this site and http://www.iotwreport.com.
It totally “burns my biscuits” that my tax dollars have to support the CBC, CTV and Global here in Canada.
On my computer the top row on U-tube is a series of blogs the Internet thinks I want to watch. Scroll past that and the next set of rows are Canadian content (not sure how to disable that) with links to CBC, CTV and so on. Then a host of popular blog posts (some good, some bad) and finally I scroll into the world of music, from electronic to 1970s Kenji psychedelic (pretty good stuff) and lately Three Dog Night (Kenji again).
My point is, if people like me (not brand new) won’t even watch a CBC or CTV 2 minute blog post, how on earth do they expect us to tune into their channels to watch an entire news cast? Forget the young people who have never seen a newspaper let alone a coaxial cable connection. No customers, no advertising, no revenue.
The Neilson ratings don’t matter any more because it measures the interests of professional TV watchers, and then projects that across the whole population, but most people have moved away from that model
“Whole company now waiting for a live or die email”
Uh huh. You asked for it, you got it. Toyota.
Learn to code, bitchez…
Bezos finally realized he can’t financially prop up a progressive cesspool.
Now I hope he turns an eye towards the similar cesspool that he owns, Twitch.
One third laid off.

Learn to pick fruits and veggies.
The dominant idealization of sound journalism has shifted from fearless seekers of objective truth to champions of social justice. Objective truth isn’t just not sought, but often openly mocked.
There will always be, I trust, a robust market for the first. The second requires little skill and thus lacks an economic moat.
Send them to the cobalt mines in Africa, since they love “green energy” so much.
Send their kids too. Fun for the whole family.

I’ll be happy when the poor fckers die and “decrease the surface population”.
In a related story … MY President elbowed PBS, NPR, and the CPB right out of business.
It’s funny that Democrat voters won’t support those outlets.
There’s no one cheaper that a Leftist. They expect YOU to support those outlets for them. That’s socialism.
Leftists are so benevolent. But only when someone else has to pay for or deal with it.
PBS, NPR, and the CPB were kickback streams to certain special demoncrats, they weren’t meant to be actually useful anymore.
