People are getting over the canned pablum that passes for "news" on the networks as well

as the cable news. And we all know this happens to skew toward older white men with the rest of the falling on all the other demographics.

Cable news averages, in total, about 5 million pairs of eyeballs per day and that probably counts, as I said before, a lot of people at least twice...

Network news brings in about 21 million combined on any given night.

So on any given night, somewhere approximately 26 million people are all that tune in.

And remember, these are the numbers from the period leading up to the national election.

So 26 million people with is probably smaller still because again, many of those coveted eyeballs are watching more than one show.

Given that more than 120 million voted in this last election. I would say that the news, as we define it, is losing their audience. Especially with the younger people who are more likely to seek out alternative news. I would imagine more and more people look to places like DU to distill the crap that is passing for news these days…
