Cenk takes a rare shot at MSNBC, noting their ratings problems brought to light in an article by Alex Wagner. Cenk breaks down the demographic of viewership between MSNBC and TYT.
You hate the lies the mainshit media tells like everybody. I don’t hate on any of the “news” stations because they are all stupid and that’s why i watch TYT.
Not trying to diminish what you said at all Cenk but “older viewers” tend to be way more valuable then younger voters for multiple factors. For example they tend to have much higher voter turn out and they have have more expendable income compared to the young who are just starting up their lives. Anyway just playing devils advocate, no hate :)
You’re missing the future perspective, people that watch TYT now in their 20s will be in their 30s 10 years from now. If your audience is 60+ they will be close to dead in that time and certainly not attractive to advertisers.
Additionally I would argue that young people that watch political content on TYT are just as involved in elections as the average old guy who watches MSNBC or FOX. Voter turnout for TYT viewers is probably much higher than the average in that demo.
While your premise is common sense, you do know the life expectancy for men in America is 76 and for women it’s 81, right? My personal bet is it’s even longer for liberals. When you factor in that right wingers (Rush Limbaugh immediately jumps to mind) brag regularly about eating whatever crap they want — FREEEDUMB!!!—-and don’t believe that the chemical additives in food are bad for you, yadda, yadda, yawn…………my unproven theory (common sense) is that tree-hugging, exercising liberals live longer than conservatives who seem to be so filled w/hate it’s got to harden their arteries assuming they have a heart ( DICK Cheney comes to mind).. Regardless, based on government stats, 70 isn’t “close to dead”…….at least not for women who get an extra decade + 1 year. “Close to dead” is someone on a respirator..
Also, it’s people WHO watch. Like you I’m optimistic that TYT voter turnout is much higher than the average in that demo. WAY TO GO TYT! Cenk and Ana are the best!
Wolf Blitzer and Chris Mathews isn’t who violins should be pulled out for… it is the Luke Russert and Ronan Farrow who just started their doomed careers, that there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth over.
I’m sure Cenk knows this, but he’s turning a blind eye to make a point. Similarly, comparing youtube views (available on demand) to cable TV views (in any time slot) is an exercise in futility.
I like that Cenk’s feeling confident enough to brag, but I feel it’s premature to say the least. And if he thinks that doing investigative journalism is basically the same thing as sitting on his ass and commenting what the talking heads on Fox News said yesterday… he’s in for a rude awakening.
In other news, Ana is getting unbearable. She doesn’t know shit about shit, but that’s not the problem – the problem is she’s now comfortable with that, with being Cenk’s soundboard. Once I used to assume she would look up your/you’re after embarrassing herself and learn that the former is called a possessive adjective, so she wouldn’t sound like a moron the next time around, but now… It feels like she’s OK with saying “he used to wrong your”.
“Your” grammar Nazi rambling makes no sense. It makes it seem like “you’re” the unbearable one, sitting and waiting to comment on pretty innocuous statements for “your” weird entertainment.

Regarding Alex Wagner’s numbers… You can hardly expect a different demographic at 3pm. It’s got to be heavy in retired or out-of-work people.

Correction: she said “he used the wrong your”. Like a twelve-year-old would.
