Trump's got to be loving this!
Ratings Rout: Last Place CNN Had Terrible 2017
Hey...this time he got it right.
---------------------------------------------
The ratings results are in for the full year of 2017 and show that CNN not only came in last place, but that the left-wing network’s primetime viewership eroded by double digits — even as second place MSNBC soared, and ratings champ Fox News held tight.
Fox had an extraordinary year, its second in a row where its total viewers beat not just its left-wing competition in the form of MSNBC and CNN, but all of basic cable. Fox News was not only the number one basic cable channel; its average primetime viewership of 2.4 million was not far behind the Fox broadcast network’s average of 3.5 million.
By comparison, ABC, NBC, and CBS primetime earned 4.6 million, 6 million, and 6.3 million viewers, respectively.
But it is up against MSNBC and CNN, where Fox’s ongoing dominance is most striking. The reasons for this are obvious and will be explained below.
Total Average Viewers Throughout Day
FNC: 1,501,000 (up eight percent)
CNN: 783,000 (up four percent)
MSNBC: 885,000 (up 47 percent)
Throughout the entire year, Fox attracted almost as many viewers throughout the day as MSNBC and CNN combined. Fox News also doubled CNN’s growth (eight percent, compared to just four percent).
An astonishing growth of 47 percent proves that MSNBC is gobbling up all President Trump-haters CNN tries so hard to attract and satisfy.
Average Demo (25-54 Years Old) Viewers Throughout Day
FNC: 321,000 (up 15 percent)
CNN: 257,000 (up 11 percent)
MSNBC: 203,000 ages 25-54 (up 33 percent)
This is CNN’s only second place showing. The demo is really only important when it comes to advertising rates.
Average Primetime Viewers
FNC: 2,422,000 (flat)
CNN: 1,060,000 (down 15 percent)
MSNBC: 1,624,000 (up 50 percent)
Again, but this time during the all-important primetime hours, Fox is able to attract nearly as many viewers as CNN and MSNBC combined. And in this case, CNN is in last place by a mile and losing viewers by double digits, a whopping 15 percent.
Average Demo (25-54 Years Old) Primetime Viewers
FNC 488,000 A25-54 (up 1 percent)
CNN: 370,000 A25-54 (down 13 percent)
MSNBC 370,000 A25-54 (up 37 percent)
While Fox held steady (a remarkable feat considering the loss of Bill O’Reilly) and MSNBC capitalized on the anti-Trump resistance, CNN again lost viewers by double digits.
The reasoning behind CNN’s ongoing ratings humiliation is fairly obvious.
To begin with, MSNBC is not built on the foundation of a massive lie. To its credit, MSNBC advertises itself as a left-wing network. CNN, on the other hand, is built on a lie. CNN is even further to the left than MSNBC but still claims to be an objective news outlet. No one likes to be lied to, to be played for a fool.
Secondly, CNN is a firehose of fake news and, therefore, wholly unreliable. Imagine how disheartening it must be for Trump-haters to be told over and over again by CNN that this terrible thing is true about Trump and that terrible thing will be Trump’s undoing, only to discover later that it was yet another CNN hoax, another deliberate and calculated lie told by deliberate and calculating liars.
NBC News has its share of problems — including a climate of sexual harassment, abuse, and enabling — but no one believes anything CNN reports anymore — nor should they.
CNN chief Jeff Zucker has been a catastrophic failure. Under his partisan and unethical management, CNN has dropped from second place to last place and suffered permanent reputational damage that continues to this day.
Like RICE-A-RONI... illegals are The San Francisco Treat
Illegal immigrant found guilty in murder of family of five in San Francisco
If you're going to use this guy as the yardstick...
Then I'm kind of shocked by the by the sentence handed down to Binh Thai Luc. I expected the charge to be 'reckless swinging of a hammer' then fined $100 and 1-month community service at the nearest Chinese daycare center.
March 25, 2012: Binh Thai Luc after his arrest for the murder of the family of five. (SFPD)
An illegal immigrant from Vietnam faces life in prison after being convicted Monday in the 2012 hammer-killing of a family of five after losing money at a casino earlier in the evening.
Binh Thai Luc, who had a violent criminal history and was supposed to be deported in 2006, was found guilty in the murders of a family of Chinese immigrants. He was also found guilty of five counts of attempted robbery and two counts of burglary.
Luc, who was in debt and served an eviction notice, killed the family during a robbery after he lost money at a casino on March 23, 2012.
Prosecutors said the family kept thousands of dollars in cash in the San Francisco home. Luc had more than $6,500 with him during his arrest. The jury was told that Luc settled his debt after the killings.
“This was a very gruesome, brutal murder, and we’re pleased we’re getting some accountability for the family and for the community,” District Attorney George Gascón told The San Francisco Chronicle.
Despite no eyewitness accounts of Luc’s involvement, investigators said one of the family member’s blood was found spattered on Luc’s jeans. Luc’s blood was found on a pack of cigarettes, a receipt and a cabinet drawer, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Luc spent a decade in prison for robbery and assault with a deadly weapon for the 1996 armed robbery of a Chinese restaurant. He was ordered to be deported from the U.S. to his native Vietnam after his release, but the Vietnamese government did not provide the proper documents.
U.S. federal immigration authorities released Luc into the community in 2006.
The defense argued that someone else murdered the family, possibly a Chinatown gangster or an ex-boyfriend of one of the victims. Defense attorney Mark Goldrosen said the prosecution did not establish a motive for the crime.
Luc did not speak after the verdict was announced. Goldrosen said he was “quite disappointed” with the verdict.
“He understands that this is the beginning of the process and there are appellate procedures,” Goldrosen said.

Strzok – Hi. How was Trump, other than a do*che? Melania? And any luck with home purchases?
Page – Trump barely spoke, but the first thing out of his mouth was “we’re going to win soooo big.” The whole thing is like living in a bad dream.
Strzok – Jesus.

Page – Trump Enablers Will Finally Have to Take A Stand http://nyti.ms/2aFakry
Strzok – Thanks. It’s absolutely true that we’re both very fortunate. And of course I’ll try and approach it that way. I just know it will be tough at times. I can protect our country at many levels, not sure if that helps
08/09/2016
Page – He’s not ever going to become president, right? Right?!
Strzok – OMG did you hear what Trump just said?

Page -- Full on dog whistles too. "We do not want this election stolen from us. Everybody knows what I'm talking about." The racism is barely even veiled anymore.
10/20/2016
Strzok: I am riled up. Trump is a f***ing idiot, is unable to provide a coherent answer.

Somebody should put out an All-points bulletin on Jeff Sessions
Guess Who Bruce Ohr’s Wife Worked For
Justice Department Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Director Bruce Ohr's wife, Nellie, appears to be his link to Fusion
GPS founder Glenn Simpson (Left) and former MI6 agent Christopher Steele (Right), who concocted the "dodgy dossier" on President Donald Trump.
How much more stupid can Republicans get? First, they allowed the blatant conflict of interest tarmac meeting to slide with no investigation and now this! I swear to God under a similar situation Barry and his henchman Holder would be all over this like white on rice.
Wonder when it's going to sink into Trey Gowdy's skull the FBI can't be trusted. Comey, Mueller, Strzok, and now Ohr and he's still against a special prosecutor! If I was Trump I would fire Sessions and make Jim Jordan head of the DOJ.
This whole situation is a convoluted mess... but with familiar players who are known liars.
This is an excerpt from Wikipedia.
In early January 2017 a two-page summary of the Trump dossier was presented to President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump in meetings with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers.
On 10 January 2017, BuzzFeed was the first media outlet to publish the full 35-page dossier. In publishing the Trump dossier, BuzzFeed stated that it had been unable to verify or corroborate the allegations. The UK issued a DSMA notice on 10 January 2017, requesting that the media not release Steele's identity, although the BBC and other UK news media released the information in news stories the same day. Trump vigorously denied the dossier's allegations, calling it fake news during a press conference. Vladimir Putin also dismissed the claims.
------------------------------
It turns out embattled and recently demoted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr had even stronger connections to Fusion GPS than first announced.
FOX News reported Monday that the director of the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force’s wife, Nellie, worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 presidential campaign. It did not specify what kind of work she did, or how closely she worked with the opposition research firm’s founder, Glenn Simpson.
The Daily Caller reports her expertise, however, is Russian politics. She previously worked as a professor at Vassar College, and as recently as two months ago was employed by Accenture Security, a cybersecurity firm.
While it’s not clear if Nellie Ohr had anything to do with former MI6 Christopher Steele’s dossier on President Donald Trump, the Daily Caller’s report suggests it’s at least possible. It states she gave a presentation in early October at the 2017 Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center summit titled “Ties Between Government Intelligence Services and Cyber Criminals – Closer Than You Think?”
The report's description of that session states:
The past year has seen cyberthreat actors arrested, indicted or identified in intelligence reports by US and European governments that many experts believe point to potential ties between government intelligence services and cybercrime actors. In this session learn about the drivers and mechanisms between state and criminal cooperation through a case study that will explore how seemingly ordinary cybercrime can be combined with strategic espionage.
Bruce Ohr was discovered last week to have met with Steele during the 2016 campaign. He also met with Simpson shortly after the election, which was about the time the dossier became a household name in America.
The Justice Department was apparently unaware of his connections, and he was demoted a short time after the original FOX News report aired.
