Sympthsical
(10,557 posts)The demo, ages 25-54, frequently hits the same numbers as someone's random cat video on YouTube.
No, I tell lies. Cat videos get far, far, far more viewers.
No one's watching this stuff except older people. The format is literally dying. So whenever there's a "Did you see what someone said?!" it's like, no. No one else saw it either. Literally no one else saw it.
Frankly, I'm baffled how they're able to pay the talent the amounts they do. Do pharmaceutical companies pay that much? On any other network, most of these shows would be cancelled after the first season.
I think it's a media/political circle jerk whose time has passed. Everyone gets paid for the mutual access and back scratching. It's not a healthy relationship in a democracy, IMO. The press should be adversarial to power, not busting out their wallets.
