Truth, Rumor Or ?

Truth

 As FOX News craters in the ratings, they just fell behind MSNBC, maybe it's time to take another look at what everyone calls the Main Stream Media.  As we pointed out just a few weeks ago, even when FOX News was riding high with Tucker, they were only drawing 3 million viewers.  And the population of the United States is 335 million people.  So that meant that 99.2% of the American people weren't even looking.  Now both FOX News and MSNBC draw around 1.5 million each which means that 99.6% of the American people don't give either of them a sideways glance.

But this got us looking at the other alphabet members of the so called Main Stream Media and we found that ABC Nightly News averages around 7 million viewers, NBC Nightly News around 6 million and change and shock and amazement CBS Nightly News only 4 million and change.  Contrast this against The Joe Rogan Experience which draws 11 million people a day and Crime Junkie which averages around 10 million viewers a day and they're Podcasts.  Maybe all these so called Newscasts are really just Podcasts.  But then the Podcasts are out drawing them, so that wouldn't be accurate would it?  Perhaps Blogs, are more appropriate?  The ABC blog, the FOX blog, the MSNBC blog and the CNN blog.  Although CNN at a half a million viewers an hour, is probably way behind a lot of blogs.

Rumor

Alec Baldwin aka The Man Who Shot the Cinematographer and the Director, has been seen walking around our fair city with a cane and we want to kill the rumor that he shot himself in the leg.  We can confirm through sources, that he had hip replacement surgery.  People have to stop saying that he shot himself.

The story that once Kevin Spacey is acquitted in his sexual harassment case in London that he'll be starring in a new rendition of House of Cards, is persistent.  In this one, he doesn't play Frank Underwood.  This isn't a prequel.  No, in this one he plays another President, who unlike Frank Underwood couldn't finagle his way out of it all or manage to die either.  So this guy is in prison.  But he is still the President.  The House of Representatives impeached him but the Senate did not convict.  So this new series is about how this President wheels, deals and runs the country from his prison cell.  Some people say this plot is too far out to be possible.  Others think it's not so far fetched and only awaits, Kevin Spacey's acquittal.  

Oh yeah, rumor has it that the working title for this new Kevin Spacey series is 'Solitaire'.
