Almost half of MSNBC’s audience has vanished, challenging the liberal network to rethink its strategies in a fast-evolving media environment. What is going on? Why are so many people leaving? Steep Audience Decline Post-Election MSNBC’s viewership fell dramatically post-election, plummeting by a staggering 47%. Reports highlight that the network’s once-loyal audience turned away at unprecedented rates. Analysts cite redundancy in political coverage and competition from digital media as contributing factors. Post-election exhaustion, with viewers avoiding the news cycle, compounds the issue, challenging MSNBC’s once-solid footing. MSNBC’s primetime lineup suffered the most, with a 52% decrease to just 644,000 viewers. Infamously, Rachel Maddow’s ratings hit a new low, drawing just 1.3 million viewers. A repeat of ‘Ancient Aliens’ outperformed Maddow in key demographics. With liberal viewers avoiding negative news cycles, MSNBC’s formula proved less appealing. MSNBC Loses Over Half of Its Primetime Audience as Ratings Tank – https://t.co/1sWlcuLtfj — News ADDICTS (@News_Addicts) November 12, 2024 Competition and Challenges from Rivals While MSNBC struggled, Fox News thrived, boasting a 24% increase and securing 62% of the cable news audience. Experts attribute this to Fox News capitalizing on traditional reporting styles, reminiscent of times with solid propositions for conservative audiences. In contrast, CNN’s struggles mirror MSNBC’s, with significant viewership drops, reflecting cable outlets’ broader crisis in attracting eyes in the digital age. MSNBC’s liberal standpoint, once a strength, now backfires. Efforts to defeat Trump narratives alienate viewers. As one executive noted, the ‘Trump Bump’ effects no longer buoy ratings. Current strategy seems out of tune with America’s current television consumers who demand more nuanced content.

Viewers’ preferences lean towards streaming and customizable content, offering MSNBC potential pathways to regain audience traction. Historical recovery post-election cycles suggest possible comeback, encouraging innovative digital strategies, and cultivating broader appeal. Transitioning from traditional cable to digital platforms requires innovative thinking. Tailoring content to regional and personalized preferences might rejuvenate MSNBC’s remaining audience. Rising demands for quick access news means leaning into the transformative ways media consumption is evolving in the landscape dominated by multitude online sources.

‘Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong’

'We need to start organizing'

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has recently passed through a channel in which pure sulfur rocks litter the ground, and scientists aren’t sure why. In July, GNN reported how the rover had found a strange white stone, broke it open, and found sulfur crystals, shocking the rover’s science team back at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Now, […] The post Mars Rover Takes Another Look at Mysterious Sulfur White Stones – (LOOK) appeared first on Good News Network.

It is truly a remarkable thing for Americans to make a holiday out of gratefulness, and it is very fitting for us, as we are among the most fortunate of people on the face of the Earth. We have so much to be grateful for in this country. We are incredibly wealthy compared to most countries; we have more freedoms afforded to us by our constitutional traditions; we have more opportunities for success and for failure. She excitedly asked if she could press the buttons on the machine. Then she sat in front of it, watching it work as if it were entertainment. It is a recognition of these blessings that made me a conservative and continues to sustain my belief in conservative values despite the constant challenges to that understanding of the world. At the top of that list is the free market, which is the source of so many of the blessings we have to be grateful for. And this is not to say that the free market should be unfettered or that there are no abuses of this system. Of course there are abuses, and the causes for those abuses run a spectrum from lack of personal responsibility all of the way to systemic failures. If anything, the free market brings us so many blessings that we take them for granted and forget quickly how our lives have improved in such a short time. I have a great example showing this tendency. A while back I had a dental check-up, and the youngish assistant notified me that we were going to take X-rays of my teeth. I got ready to go to the X-ray room. Of course, she just pulled over the X-ray machine, put it up to my face, and snapped a few images. “That machine is so amazing,” I said to her. She didn't understand what I meant. I explained that just a few years back, X-ray machines were much bigger and more expensive and it was not as convenient to take them. She had no clue. I felt like that meme of an aged lady telling some young person about the olden days and young person responds by saying, “That’s great! Let's get you to bed, Grandma.” Now part of the reason that story happened is simply because I am getting older, but it’s also because things get better and better every moment of every day through the invisible hand of the free market, and we benefit from it and take it all for granted. It simply blows my mind that people are born on Earth in this age after thousands of years of incredible technological and scientific advancements, and instead of looking around in overwhelming wonder and gratefulness, they look for the problems and call for it all to be wiped away. I’ll bother you with one more example that I always refer to when challenged on this subject, if you’ll indulge me. There is a Ted Talk that can be viewed on YouTube about the laundry washing machine and how it absolutely revolutionized women’s lives and changed human society. Swedish academic Hans Rosling details the day when he was a child and his parents finally were able to save enough money to buy a washing machine. His grandmother, who had spent a lifetime heating water over a wood fire and washing the laundry of seven children by hand, excitedly asked if she could press the buttons on the machine. Then she sat in front of it, watching it work as if it were entertainment. “To my grandmother, the washing machine was a miracle,” he explained. He goes on to explain how that one technological advancement that we all take for granted allowed women to have more leisure time, and that allowed for some of them to read, and even more advancements gave them the freedom to work and find their own careers. Go watch it. It’s worth your time, and it only has 736,000 views, shamefully, after being available for 10 years. It really is worthwhile to stop and consider just how much freedom we have been given, for good and bad, because of all the advancements invented and developed in the free market — and to remember those blessings when we decide whether to be on the side of policies that increase freedom or on the side of those designed to stomp it out.

While making a game with incredibly popular IP isn’t a guaranteed route to success (Marvel’s Avengers and Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, I’m looking at you) it certainly gives any project a big head start. The concept alone of Marvel Rivals was enough to cause an eruption of hype, and its betas showed that it's delivering in the gameplay department too. Now, just over a week out from its full launch, it’s ticked one final (but very important) box - it’s gone gold.
