| How the DNC's TV Ratings Compare to 2016 |
| 2020-08-20 |
| [Townhall] The ratings from the Democratic National Convention’s first night are in and the numbers were not as strong as they were in 2016. During the 10 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. timeframe, the convention brought in approximately 25 percent fewer viewers than the last convention, Deadline reports citing Nielsen Media Research. The convention drew 18.7 million viewers in the 10 PM ET to 11:15 PM ET timeframe, when the most networks were carrying the convention proceedings, highlighted by a speech by former First Lady Michelle Obama. That compares to about 25 million who watched ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC and CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... in the same time period four years ago. The ratings information is from Nielsen Media and was released by Fox News and CNN. The figures do not include viewers on other networks or on streaming and social media platforms, as the Democratic National Committee made a push to draw viewers to other feeds. According to TJ Ducklo, front man for Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden ... You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... ’s campaign, 10.2 million watched via digital streams, surpassing the level of four years ago and bringing the total TV and online audience to 28.9 million. (Deadline) There is a major difference between this year's convention and 2016, of course--the fact that it was a virtual event due to the Wuhan coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic. But despite having plenty of time to prepare and create a visually appealing package, it was poorly executed and painful to watch what amounted to a series of Zoom calls. "I get that we're in a pandemic and it can't be like a normal convention but this made a PBS telethon look like New Year's Eve in Times Square," The Hill's media news hound Joe Concha told "Fox & Friends First" on Tuesday. "It was just beyond boring, for lack of a better term, and it just felt too homogenized. There didn't seem to be any authenticity to it. Concha noted that even anti-Trump voices in the media characterized the convention as: "cringey, sad, slow, phoney, amateur, robotic, boring and painful." No wonder liberal networks are so worried about the Republican National Convention. |

| #6 The Anitfa/BLM folks are mostly staying away from where the mostly empty convention is being held in Milwaukee. They did try to get one going in Wauwatosa (fairly conservative city next to Milwaukee) and it didn't go as planned. The local police actually did their jobs. |

| #5 I think the entire first night of the 'Pub convention should be one massive indictment of the Democrat Party. Show them the streets of the major cities, name the Dem politicians involved in each city & state (mayor, DA, Gov, etc.). Show the U-Hauls and Penske moving vans leaving San Francisco and businesses like tesla pulling up roots and going elsewhere. Point out how Cuomo and others murdered thousands in nursing homes. Keep going and just pile on these motherfuckers until they're buried. At least that's how I'd do it. |
