From The New York Times to Slime Time Tabloids and the Moronic TV/Cable “News” stations, by their deeds you shall know them. Journalism is dead. Audience and subscription bases are all that count.
As we had reported back on 21 April 2020 when CNN, The Cartoon News Network, then head of the freak show, Jeff Zucker—who got fired last year for screwing a woman that worked for him—pumped up the coronavirus to pump up CNN’s sagging ratings:
“Ratings Soar, Ads Vanish at CNN
Pandemic coverage boosts viewership”
“On a recent conference call, CNN chief Jeff Zucker urged editors and producers at the network not to shift focus from coronavirus new updates despite weeks of wall-to-wall coverage of the pandemic.
‘You need to stay on the news,’ Mr. Zucker said, according to a person who listened. ‘People are coming to CNN for the news right now.’”
Have you “Heard”?
Keeping on the “Build Audience” regardless of how stupid the “news” can be or how low the mass media can go, the “BIG” news in America that the Presstitutes sell and the dumbbells swallow is about two people that no one with a brain could give a shit about.
Sure we may be on the cusp of WWIII, a massive recession, crime rates spiking, inflation skyrocketing… but for most Americans, the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial is what’s on their mind.
Is their attention diverted to this TV drama to keep from hearing the non-stop depressing news of the day? How many times can you read about a fully vaxxed politician coming down with COVID-19, or hear President Joe Biden announce that he is going to send Ukraine a new batch of stinger missiles plus multi-billion dollar “aid” packages to keep the Ukraine War going?
This is the American spirit that gets higher when they look to someone who makes them feel better about their own lives. How else do you explain the rise of the Kardashians?
The numbers don’t lie.
The New York Post, citing NewsWhip, reported that the Depp-Heard trial has averaged 508 social media interactions for every published article over the span of about a month.
The number represents about five times as much engagement as articles on abortion and 10 times the amount interactions for articles about COVID-19. (Interactions tell publishers what articles resonate with readers and can be a gauge on the public’s general interest.)
Rachel Stockman, the president of Law & Crime network, told Axios that the Heard-Depp trial has been “hands down” a “record-setter for us.”
Dan Abrams, who founded the Law & Crime Network, said the Depp-Heard trial has drawn more than 1 million viewers per hour to its YouTube page, which he said is a record for the channel.
The hashtag, #JusticeForJohnnyDepp, has garnered more than 11 billion views on TikTok and #JohnnyDeppIsInnocent has gained more than 3 billion views, CNN reported.
Depp, who is a far bigger star than his ex-wife, seems to be winning in the court of public opinion: #JusticeForAmberHeard has pulled in only 41 million views.
“I think this is captivating because we have been told for years now that Johnny Depp did this, that he is an abuser,” Angenette Levy, a reporter for the Law & Crime Network, told News Nation Now. “Now, we have audio recordings where that’s in dispute and where Amber Heard is essentially challenging him to tell the world he is the victim of domestic violence.”
TREND FORECAST: Again, the massive media coverage of two actors and America’s devoted interest in watching it day-by-day illustrates the mental unconsciousness of the general public and their disconnect from the real world.
Therefore, being that they are unaware of the current events forming future trends, not only are they blinded by the future, they are easy targets to swallow propaganda and obey orders given to them by their political “leaders.”
