      the people tuning out are not the same people who never tuned in to begin with. dont conflate the two groups.

      the majority of conservative voters dont watch news ever.

        Well, not “legitimate” news. Capt. Erection’s Red State Journal Review Podcast-Wankfest is a type of news, just not a very useful one. The MAGAt media environs is the equivalent of a neglected public restroom floor and it’s all they eat.

        Of course - Corporate News Sewers like NYT in the first place are smoking ruins of failed journalism to start with, so - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          theres also another ~90 million eligible voters who just dont ever bother voting at all. anyone i talk to in these conservative/non-voting population are all 100% tv/cable/social media news agnostic. they dont watch annyy of it so all they end up consuming is what other people have on the tv at any given public location… and thats if they even bother listening to that. for all intents they live in a news desert. far more uninformed than even the rabid faux-news watching magas

      To be fair, he’s also surprising his voters by doing dumb ass shit he didn’t say he would too…
