Sub-19 and Sub-5: Big Three Nets’ Drew Under 19 Million Last Week; CBS, at Under 5 Mil, Ties All-Time Low

They’ll have all sorts of excuses (but only if asked) about why it happened: It’s because they had a lot of guest anchors last week, it was hot, summer vacation season is still on (though lots of kids around in Greater Cincinnati were already back in school by last Wednesday), cable is killing us, blah-blah, etc., etc. But the Big Three networks won’t be able to avoid the fact that their ongoing decline reached a painful low last week of 18.82 million average viewers. Here is the graphic that appeared this morning at ABC’s lipstick-on-a-pig blog post : I don’t know whether that’s an all-time low, but Kevin Allocca at Media Bistro, who hadn’t posted the full numbers as of the time of this post, has noted that one of those networks indeed scraped bottom last week: ‘CBS Evening News’ Ties All-Time Low The network newscast ratings for last week are in and “CBS Evening News with Katie Couric” tied its all-time low in total viewers with an average of 4.89 million tuning in during the five days. The low was set last June, when ABC also hit its own low. (Ratings records date back to the 1991-’92 season.) It’s not unreasonable to believe that the Perky Ms. Couric’s pathetic performance might have more than a little to do with her compulsion to lecture us . Here is how the overall numbers compare to those from one and two years ago: Week of August 18, 2008 — 21.44 million Week of August 17, 2009 — 19.76 million Week of August 16, 2010 — 18.82 million This past week was down 4.8% from a year ago, and almost 14% from two years ago. NBC’s audience, which was a whisker shy of 9 million two years ago, has fallen 17.5%. Gee, do you think that might have something to do with Brian Williams’s open contempt for the Tea Party Movement? Though the comparison isn’t apples to apples because the 2010 numbers are for a summertime week, the nets’ average audience during calendar 2005 was about 27 million . There’s little doubt their 5-year decline is in the neighborhood of 20, and possibly much more. The U.S. population grew by about 4% during that five-year period. As Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds might say, though usually in a more positive vein: ” Faster, please .” Cross-posted at BizzyBlog.com .

Did The CIA Assassinate Matt Simmons For Blowing The Whistle On The BP Gulf Oil Spill?

Matt Simmons, a prominent oil industry expert who lately has been very outspoken about the BP Gulf Oil Spill coverup, was found dead in his home after supposedly drowning after apparently suffering from a heart attack. But did Matt Simmons really die of a heart attack or was he assassinated? Matt was very vocal on several nationwide news programs making claims that have led some people to question his sanity along with blowing the whistle on BP and Government on several issues. Matt Simmons was very well connected to other oil industry insiders and top government officials in charge of regulating the oil industry. As a result of those connections Matt has blew the whistle on several lies BP and Government where telling to the public. Matt called the claims that only 5,000 barrels of oil were leaking preposterous and instead conjectured there must be at least a minimum of 120,000 barrels of oil per leaking into the Gulf. Matt also reported that there were leaks 5 to 7 miles away which were later confirmed by a NOAA report issued by the Thomas Jefferson. Matt Simmons also revealed that NOAA ships discovered a huge underwater plume of oil at 1100 meters below the surface which could possibly cover up to 40% of the Gulf of Mexico at a time when NOAA and the federal government were publicly denying the existence of underwater plumes of oil. Matt made national headlines by stating BP would go bankrupt because they didn’t have enough money to clean up the Gulf of Mexico as well as making claims that the well integrity and pressures were so high that nothing short of a nuke could close this well.

Tea Party Infiltrator Busted

A videographer at this weekend’s Fancy Farm political celebration in Kentucky hounded a man pretending to be part of the Tea Party Movement, wearing Rand Paul swag and holding up a racist anti-immigrant sign, badgering him to reveal who he was. The cameraman caught back up with him when, later, the man walked with supporters Paul’s Democrat opponent, Jack Conway. added by: CarlosBobthe3rd
