That's really too bad.
What was "woke" about National Geographic?

As a matter of fact I have. I have a copy that discusses the reconstruction/renovation of Notre Dame cathedral. Granted it's from February 2022, but the articles hardly seem "woke". There's a photo essay about a family's military service, an article about Julius Caesar's image, and articles about fish, a K2 climb, and the future of Sudan. None of them seem particularly "woke".themanintheseersuckersuit wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 4:33 pmHave you tried reading it over the last few years?

Disney has become the king of wokeness if you haven't been paying attention. And they are losing money hand over fist as well.
Go Woke, Go Broke.
Ask Target, Ask Bud Lite, Ask Fox News. Ask Bed Bath and Beyond.
And it won't stop until this wokeism fad runs its course and goes away or they find a way of eliminating all of us that think it's, well to be kind, absolute foolishness. I could use another word that many people describe it as, but I will not go there.
You would be correct. That issue almost caused me to stop my subscription (since 1983)-but I decided to hang on for awhile.BackInTex wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 10:58 amNot every article will be "woke", but some are.earendel wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 9:40 amAs a matter of fact I have.

I didn't read, but I'll wager it's pretty "woke".

I was unaware of Disney's ownership. I thought their wildlife documentaries were in partnership with NatGeo.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 11:52 amNo mention of Disney owning 73% of National Geographic?

Fox has lost a good portion of their audience since they fired Tucker. Look it up, ear. Their ownership has taken a left turn, and it is not unnoticed by their erstwhile loyal viewers, who have left it in droves. They censor what their on-air people can talk about.earendel wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 8:57 amI was unaware of Disney's ownership.

I am not one of those that have left recently, since I ditched cable a few years ago. I can't even watch Hannity even if I wanted to.
I guess all those people who were watching Tucker Carlson are now checking out Rachel Maddow.Champagne corks were flying at MSNBC in June, as the news network is significantly closing the gap against Fox and CNN for the much-coveted 25-to-54 age primetime viewer demographic in the second quarter of 2023. With a 23% hike in the age-bracket advertisers favor most with ad spending, and a 16% rise in total viewership, MSNBC is generating momentum at a time its largest competitors are losing ground, according to Nielsen ratings. MSNBC also clocked in at second place for total primetime viewership in June while also finishing second in total daytime viewers, gaining 14% of total day viewers in June, while adding 20% of viewers in the 24-54 demographic over the same time period.
The left-leaning network’s ascension comes at a time when broadcast news mainstays CNN and Fox are losing viewers at an alarming clip. Both networks have suffered double-digit declines in the past month as internal struggles have seemingly impacted viewer numbers. Fox News lost a whopping 37% of viewers in its May 2022 to May 2023 primetime numbers. CNN is floundering as well, as it lost 21% of its 25-to-54 viewers in May.
As CNN and Fox News stumble, MSNBC is taking full advantage. The network is gaining fast on industry leader Fox News, tightening the total viewer gap to just 174,000 in June. MSNBC has also generated double-digit viewer growth across the board, led by weekday news broadcast Katy Tur Reports (up 44%), The Beat With Ari Melber (up 28% in total viewers), and Monday night’s The Rachel Maddow Show (the leading primetime cable news show).
With wall-to-wall coverage of the 2024 presidential election already on the horizon, there’s no doubt CNN and Fox will double efforts to regain lost viewers, but it won’t be easy. As the months of May and June have demonstrated, MSNBC isn’t backing down as it solidifies its burgeoning viewer base and closes the gap on two industry news leaders who’ve lost much of their luster.
