One of the topics Tucker Carlson and I addressed on the X interview this week was the future of network and cable news. Ratings are down across the board, especially for Americans under the age of 50. Few watch anymore.

The primary reason for that is predictability. Many broadcasts lack snap; some are simply dull. The corporations who run the television media are risk-averse in this cancel culture era. Commentators and anchors know they had better play it safe.

Also, there is a certain laziness in speech. How many times does the audience have to hear the phrase "at the end of the day?" Or "deep dive?" How about "full stop?"

It's tiresome and annoying to listen to inarticulate, cliche-dependent broadcasters.

So, let's unpack this. No, I refuse. Let's agree to disagree. Blank you with that. Maybe we should all just "trust the science" as TV sets are turned on.

Don't think so.

Once upon a time, there were strict standards in broadcasting; there were editors and creative producers.

Today, they have largely disappeared.

It is what it is.

See you tonight for the No Spin News.
