Deep dives
Decline in Cable News Ratings
Recent cable news ratings indicate a significant decline in viewership for several legacy media networks, notably CNN and MSNBC, while Fox News has seen a remarkable increase in ratings. In particular, CNBC experienced a staggering 20% drop in prime time demo viewership, suggesting a drastic shift in audience preferences. Factors contributing to this trend include a growing distrust in cable news and an increasing reliance on social media as a primary news source. As viewers turn to platforms like Twitter for immediate updates, traditional cable networks face the challenge of competing with the rapid dissemination of information.
Kamala Harris’s Immigration Rebranding
Kamala Harris is attempting to reshape her image as tough on immigration, distancing herself from her previously more progressive stances. During her recent campaign appearances, she has touted her record as California's attorney general, claiming to combat transnational crime and trafficking. However, polling indicates that many Americans tend to trust Republicans over Democrats regarding immigration issues. This shift in Harris's rhetoric marks a notable departure from her past views, where she expressed intentions to expand DACA and even suggested abolishing ICE, thereby complicating her current campaign narrative.
George Soros’s Influence on District Attorneys
Investigative findings reveal that George Soros significantly influences local prosecutors through substantial financial backing, effectively reshaping the justice system. Over the past several years, Soros has invested millions to elect 'progressive' district attorneys who prioritize social justice over strict law enforcement. Reports indicate that these prosecutors are not only elected with his support but continue to receive guidance from organizations like Fair and Just Prosecution, which regularly coordinates with them on policy decisions. This close relationship raises concerns about the autonomy of elected officials and the implications for law enforcement across the United States.
