Midknight Review -- new and revised: Why are the networks boycotting the 4th of July Celebration? We have the answer.

Why are the networks boycotting the 4th of July Celebration? We have the answer.

Understand that Trump's scheduled celebration complete with four armored/military vehicles and a number of flyovers, is nothing new. Eisenhower (in the 50's) had a much larger military show than Trumps, as did JFK (in the early 60's). No one complained. And the excuse, "But these are different times," is only an excuse. The fact of the matter is this: The major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and the failing CNN along with MSNBC) are using today's decision to boycott the 4th celebration as a first effort to defeat Trump in the coming election. I say "first shot" because they intend to boycott as much conservative programming, including the Trump rallies, as possible.

The problem is found in their inability to show a profit. Programming boycotts directly affect baseline income numbers. Understand that "baseline" - in this case - is the income needed to maintain current standards at a particular news outlet. When baseline income shrinks, people get fired, and, programing is affected. MSNBC, for example, is only a parttime televised news outlet. Late night programing and weekend schedules have little to do with the news of the day. Instead, the network sells ad time and non-news related features . . . . even a movie or two over the weekend.

In the end, the boycott strategy will have a serious affect on these networks, while Fox News will only get stronger and more competitive. Fox has already expanded to include a very successful business network and is now working to establish a members only offering. Understand that Fox News, apart from the business channel and the members only site, receives more traffic than CNN, HLN and MSNBC combined.

Expect the majors to violate all news broadcasting standards just in time to defeat Trump or so they think. Just know that One America News, fox Business, fox News the members only channel are gearing up for 2020 and, together, they will deny any advantage the "majors" hope to have in 2020.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
