Monday's inauguration TV viewership numbers: poor

[thewayne]

I know that my having my TV play Inglorious Basterds for many hours made no difference, but it amused me. regardless, Monday's viewer numbers were lower than the 2017 numbers, and also lower than Biden's or either Obama inauguration numbers!

This makes me smile.

I did have to pay $4 to rent Basterds for 48 hours, I consider it money well-spent.

It is a plot!! The Democrats are lying about the viewer numbers!

That is excellent news. Too bad they didn't track those of us who either kept our radios off or turned them off the instant any inauguration news came up.

I smiled really big too. :)

We all know how he loves his ratings, and he had an epic failure on Monday.
Poor Baby. :p

The article I read did state that the coverage was too long, and they could not determine at what point viewers tuned out. Regardless, he’ll state otherwise.

It was interesting to watch the ‘ceremony,’ like seeing a taped rally back at The Zeppelinfeld Arena, with his sycophants cheering in unison while the old guard watched sadly in the background.

I think that renting Basterds was a clever gesture. Kudos.

Well, of course. The only people who were interested in watching him a second time around were the people who had to cover it or the people who don't care whether they're seen as his supporters or no. For as much as he has covert supporters and people who won't publicly associate with him, but privately vote for him, most people still think that publicly displaying your support for him is a social faux pas.

Not that reality will make a dent in him, because he's already convinced himself and lined up his sycophants to say that it was the biggest and best ever and that nobody can compare to him.
