NBC News In Crisis Mode?


It seems David Muir, who recently had his first win, among total viewers in 6 years, at the helm of "World News Tonight with David Muir" against NBC's "Nightly News with Brain Williams", has driven NBC News to hold a crisis meeting.

NBC News isn't taking second place, among total viewers, lightly. Perhaps the fall of "Today" from the number one morning show ("Good Morning America" continues to dominate the morning ratings and recently racked up 1 million more viewers than second place Today) is a painful reminder.

However World News Tonight's recent win could be a glimmer of hope for ABC News. Should ABC News dominate the morning ratings and evening news, which would a historical win, NBC News will need more than a crisis meeting. We've always been fond of Brian Williams, as has America, that's why Nightly News was/is number one. Perhaps World News Tonight's recent win is just a case of "new kid on the block". (Yes, we've switched to Muir too!) Uh, oh.... Calling Olivia Pope.... Oh, that's right, she's over at ABC!

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
