Amy Siskind says to have TVs/streaming devices on NBC till 1 min. before debate, then switch to ABC

[highplainsdem]

Posting this, which she tweeted minutes ago, in case she's right that switching in particular is picked up by ratings companies.

Btw, I'd recommend NOT setting them on NBC until a few minutes before the debate.

So the game plan for tonight is to have your tv and streaming devices on NBC, and then one minute before Trump and Biden start their town halls, switch them all to ABC. I am told the ratings companies can pick up on people switching stations. Spread the word!

1. I turned off MSNBC already

not turning it back on until they apologize for giving free air time to a known criminal, traitor, liar, and complete asshole.

6. I am on CNN now. So, MSNBC lost one regular watcher.

2. I usually have MSNBC on for hours when I'm doing my Portugese lessons.

Not today!

3. I base this on zero knowledge...

Just like 87% of my meanderings.

But, if you happen to have a DVR set it to record Biden's TH too.

I've noticed they seem to keep track of those events.

4. Only if you're 1) a Nielsen household; 2) using a streaming service; 3) using cable/satellite

if you're using an OTA feed on your TV, no one will know otherwise.

5. Yeah, the only privacy these days comes from an antenna...

That is unless you've got a box hooked to that as well.

Everything else in the network-of-networks digital omniverse can and is being monitored.

7. I'm already done with MSNBC.

Leaving for good is the only way to get their attention. The talent there was already dwindling. As it is, for me, Rachel and Nicole were the only ones left worth a damn.

8. I will not tune in to NBC again, not even for a second

I have only tuned in to one NBC production since Jimmy Fallon touched the mess on Trump's head in 2016. That has been Seth Meyers.

I will not be tuning in at all anymore.

Sorry Seth.

FWIW, I gave up on all cable news after their cheerleading of GWB's invasion of Iraq.

9. I think this is silly...

You're not going to game the ratings. Nobody's going to care about how many "turned off" at the last minute. The ratings report will be who was watching when the Town Hall was on. Nothing more.

10. She has no idea what she's talking about

This does nothing.

Also, this is Amy Suskind, who not only loved Sarah Palin and Voted for her and McCain, but also helped raised millions for Jill Stein, and attacks anyone on her social media who criticizes her pet GOP. She also has a history of verbally atatcking progressive WOC.

Never trusted her, still don't. She deserves to be snarked about even more than Michael Moore.

11. All network tv is tRump tv. N/t

12. on CNN until 2 mins ahead, then switch to ABC. Sorry Lawrence and Rachel. Been good to know you

Screw NBC.
