Fox News, the preferred propaganda outlet for Donald Trump and Republicans everywhere, has announced plans to launch a new slogan, one that will leave you screaming. From AdAge:
Fox News is readying a new ad campaign with the tagline, "Real News. Real Honest Opinion."
The cable news behemoth will release a teaser for the campaign on Monday on its own properties, with additional creative planned to be released next week.
By featuring its prominent hosts like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson along with journalists Chris Wallace and Martha MacCallum, Fox News is looking to reinforce its dominance as the most-watched cable channel.
You can’t even make that up. The network backed away from their “fair and balanced” tagline in 2017. And it’s true, MSNBC is beating Fox News in the ratings race. From Forbes:
MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show was the most-watched show in all of cable TV Thursday, with a total audience of nearly 3.2 million viewers. Maddow's ratings were high enough to put the show on the Top 20 list of programs on all of television, landing at #12 behind shows like Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy and Will & Grace.
Maddow, who has been focusing relentlessly on the investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the campaign of Donald Trump, often devoting long segments to methodically reviewing documents and timelines relating to the unfolding investigation that has shaken the White House and threatened Trump's presidency.
Maddow's ratings came on a big night for the network, with three of the top ten shows on all of cable, including The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell (#5) and All In with Chris Hayes (#6). MSNBC, which had record ratings in 2017 and finished second to long-time cable news leader Fox News in the February ratings period, took a decisive overall win Thursday, beating both Fox News and CNN among viewers 25-54, the demographic coveted by advertisers. Fox News remained on top among total viewers.
