Reply #8: It's Always The Ratings...

[KharmaTrain]

This Week has been in the ratings dumpers since the days of David Brinkley. Overall Sunday numbers are down as these shows have become cattle calls for political spin. I blame the "full Ginsburg" where these shows are flooded with the same guests...or one guest will make the rounds at all the shows...giving the same talking points. There's no there there.

Looks like ABC is gonna try to shake things up a little. The fun will be how long it takes for a lie to slip and the fact check to come back. If it's only done on the website or after the show, it is a nice feature but of no real value as the tactic for many of these Sunday spinners is to get the lies out early and often and when the fact check comes out later in the day it's too late, the misinformation and the dirty deed is done.
