They aren't going to "merge".  They may get spun out by Comcast and WB-Discovery into Toxic Dogshit, Inc, but they aren't merging.

 

At the end of the day it ends up in most of one of those organizations being a memory.

The non-Fox News shows are all losing money. One reason is that many of the top names are getting paid as if their ratings were higher. My understanding is that all on-air talent has been approached about taking significant pay decreases. If they're not open to that, they're done.

Now if an on-air talent has a sizable audience they may well likely earn more money if they can take a percentage of their audience to their own platform: substack, youtube, podcast, etc.

The only viable solution for CNN and MSNBC is to merge. They can and should retain multiple brands and channels, but a merger would significantly reduce costs.

Makes a lot of sense. Almost too much sense. Wait a minute, are you one of those intelligent, college-educated commies?

Same. 

I liked her show, and her guests. I get that the way she brought smoke could be off putting to some. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This was nothing more than a politically driven purge directed by Trump buddy and chairman of Comcast.

Honestly her show is no different than 90% of the other also-ran, nobody-cares about shows. She wouldn't draw the ire she does if she wasn't all three of a) black b) unnatractive woman c) overly/everything is race/race-baiting. So I agree she was the victim of the times (but her ratings drop gave a very convenient storyline and narrative to fire her and did her no favors):

You can be any 2 of those 3 and succeed. You are all 3 and that's what sunk her. Try the exercise for yourself:

  • Unnatractive Woman & Black - Whoopi Goldberg, current talk show career
  • Unnattractive Woman & White- Most female talk shows that exist in all formats currently (that one thread we have notwithstanding)
  • Black & Overly Race/Race-baiting- Our very own Emmanual Acho seems to do okay. Don Lemmon found a platform and success after leaving CNN.
  • White & Overly Race/Race-baiting- See: FoxNews Business Model since Obama
  • Unnatractive Woman & Race-baiting- Laura Ingraham, Candace Owens Show

She had the fatal flaw of being all three and America can't hold that in for too long. Eventually America will cough.

You think Joy is unattractive? And who gets to weigh in when a show/host is deemed to be overly race baiting?

I think she is a normal looking person and just fine. I'm just pontficating (and agreeing with you it was a thinly veiled washing her out) on what the general consensus probably is!

Here is part of the tweet that prompted aggy to ask the following:

“Is it fair or unfair for Democrats to be mad about this tweet from a political perspective? 

Dear Mods. I rephrased the question in a political manner without mentioning "paleoconservatism". I also phrased the question in the most neutral way possible with even asking if it is fair for Democrats to be mad about this. If not ok then please remove and delete. Thanks.”

In my 90% white town, I can walk around wearing all of my jewelry, a cashmere coat and a nice handbag with a wallet full of cash. I can leave my doors unlocked. I can leave my laptop in my car overnight and no one steals it

The formatting is fucked up because you continue to insist on NEVER posting a shit in plain text, so I'm only going to guess that the enlarged, italicized font is the actual deleted post, to which I can only respond by saying that poster is a fucking bigoted asshole.

The automatic assumption that 90% white means no crime (complete horseshit) belies the lived experience of people, such as myself, who live in communities Anglo-minority ones who still keep doors unlocked without any concern, at all, that some pack of wild minorities is coming to get them at night.

Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not advocating people leave their doors wide open, but all I can say is that it's some fucked up, paranoid thinking. It's the exact same type of divisive indoctrination that got us where we are today.

Divide and conquer.

I wouldn’t say never. The important thing is you were able to get the point. That’s what really matters.

It's a hard methodology to be strict about I guess, because her personality and just general personhood is such an ick.

As my gran’ would say, her ways make her ugly.

She's a monster I wouldn't want to be within fifty feet of, but if she had a good twin that twin would be a solid 8 at least.

I mean, Melania Trump is same. Aesthetics in a vaccuum and she's top 1% of women her age. I'll say it. I don't have to like it, but it's my truth as a red-blooded, cisgendered (older) man.

yes, but the better-formed male brain overrides that analysis and says they're both fucking demons and not hot.

She's 54 years old. In the age 50-54 demographic there are ~231 million woman in the world (as of 2023). So that's around 2.3 million women in that age group for your 1%, I think you can do much better than her out of those numbers. Especially if some of those women had the money to have a spa day.

Cisgender…. You can drop the d. No one is blacked, or whited. Or gayed, well I mean we are actively recruiting so that last one is a bit of a gray area. Anyway pos rep for trying. 

and I agree she’s a very attractive woman. I recently doubled down on my beauty regimen and it’s a cold hard fact - you got the time and money - you willing to spend it - you too can look more beautiful.  I guarantee you her beauty budget is easily $10,000 a month. And I wager she’s spending half her day doing something related to maintaining her beauty. It’s unrelenting and exhausting to be honest with you.  But hey, dose athletic competition trophies are so worth it!!!

My ex SIL was model gorgeous. For that matter my ex was really attractive too, but not like her sister. Sister was offered all sorts of cash and benefits to travel with ultra wealthy men she was so beautiful. When she opened her mouth, vapid, selfish, drivel came out. I never once found her truly attractive.  She ended up forsaking the man she loved because he was poor, married a day trader from back in the day, he was a one hit wonder. They currently are broke and on the verge of divorce … but they don’t believe in it because they love Jesus, so they are just miserable and poor together. Not sorry.
