MSM absurdity today: only 26 people watched the live feed of New York Times striking staff.
26 viewers.
================
“A total of 26 people tuned in just minutes ago to the USA Today live feed of the striking New York Times journalists and other staff at the newspaper’s headquarters in Midtown Manhattan.
As the first strike of its kind in four decades, one would think such a labor action would garner more attention and curiosity from the public, but clearly, the American people could care less about pay disputes at the newspaper when trust in media is near a record low.
Hundreds of reporters, editors, photographers, and other employees are currently outside the newspaper’s headquarters holding signs that read “New York Times Walks Out” and listening to union speakers demanding higher pay for all positions.
If it wasn’t for a recent Gallup poll that showed only 34% of Americans trust mass media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly,” — the labor action would probably be more of a spectacle for the public.
But apparently, the American people don’t care after being lied to for years hence why only a few dozen people have turned to the live feed. …”
