re: Cable News Network Ratings- First Quarter 2025

Posted by deeprig9 on 4/29/25 at 10:41 pm

I think people on the left and the right are craving a plain old news station that just reads the damn news. There was an earthquake in some country today. The pope just died. Coup is underway in this obscure country. Five dead whales washed up on this other obscure country's shore. A new study shows cinnamon can cure some random medical affliction.

I think millions of people could veg out to that, instead of the panels of partisans all yelling at each other.

CNN, now at rock bottom, should consider this.

Cable News Network Ratings- First Quarter 2025

Posted by deeprig9 on 4/29/25 at 8:29 pm

I heard this on the radio today and had to fact check this online.

Of the top 15 highest rated (viewership) shows on cable news, 14 are on Fox and one is on MSNBC.

CNN has literally zero.

The list I found online only shows the top 15, but the radio guy I heard earlier said they don't crack the top 25. CNN's #1 rated show (whatever that is) does not even crack the top 25 in their own category of cable news.

CNN, literally invented cable news, and does not have a single cable news show that cracks the 25 with really only two main competitors.

This blows my fricking mind.

Yeah yeah left wing right wing blah blah, that's certainly a factor, but CNN's downfall is astonishing to me. It's insane.

If anyone has the full top 25 list, please share. This is the top 15 I was able to google.

re: Hannity claims Jimmy Kimmel Live is officially on “cancellation watch” due to low ratings

I can't stand Kimmel, but Hannity should probably focus on his own ratings. He's terrible.

I heard a thing on radio today (im about to make a separate thread about it) saying Hannity is one of the lowest rated shows on Fox. Still a highly rated show in the cable news space, but not even top 5 on his own network.

I used to enjoy NPR's variety shows, non political, but eventually even those became political so I haven't listened in years.

I've Never Seen Casablanca

Posted by deeprig9 on 4/29/25 at 1:05 pm

I'm aware of some scenes like Here's looking at you kid, and Play it again Sam. I'm afraid to watch the movie because of all the universal praise and hype, like if it's not the best movie I've ever seen I will be disappointed.

EPA Layoffs - Question

Posted by deeprig9 on 4/29/25 at 1:00 pm

An inlaw of mine was a recent hire at EPA and got laid off as a probationary employee. Luckily, found an even better job instantly, so that's good. However, she was just notified that her termination status was upgraded to "deferred resignation" I think was the term, and she's getting backpay and future pay through September. So that's another win, for her anyway.

Do any of you know feds who were laid off and have received this upgraded status?

Posted by deeprig9 on 4/28/25 at 9:25 pm

The movie-going public are largely parents with kids, so frick-movies are not in the best interest of the studios in what is largely a dying industry to begin with. People can get their frick-footage online. They don't need a sex scene in a movie.

It has nothing to do with puritanism.

Are they encoded in any way where I'd have to download their (browning in this case) software to view them, or I can just open them in MP4 or whatever generic format with any generic image viewing program on my windows computer? Would they still be day/time stamped?

I've been on Browning's site browsing but I can't find where I can preview an instruction manual to see how these things actually operate. Do you remove the SD card, take it home and use your own SD card reader to view images? This sounds like a dumb question, but I promise more dumb questions to come later. Also, they all seem to come SIM chipped which I won't be using, so does that mean if it comes with a SIM chip then the only way to get the imagery is through a service plan?

I know right?

I was in the target demo, 11 years old, and saw the multiple scenes with those dudes and thought it was extremely cringe and I wasn't even a full grown hater yet. That scene might have worked on 11 year olds 6 or 7 years earlier perhaps? That style of rap was only popular for like a year or two before rappers took it to different levels by the time 1989 rolled around.
