Phone posted:Crooked Hillary!!! How exactly did Clinton "trick" them. This seems like a GOPe vet trying to damage control/lose more softly due to the Trumpster Fire. Also Clinton's going to release an Oppo Research bomb the week of the debate, the day before, and the day of to win the debates.

Hell, I'm not sure the fate of cable television in the main what with Netflix eating the world. They're doing a pretty poo poo job of transitioning. I ended up watching half of the primary debates via illegal Youtube streams because the news networks didn't offer decent streaming options.

Netflix is having a hell of a time expanding globally.

What the gently caress would an opposition research "bomb" against Trump even look like? The guy has a million scandals already; how would a new one even crack the bubble?

Fox is going to have to pivot hard to remain watched, scale down operations or close down altogether. It's not like Fox pivoting to the center would even ball that unprecedented. When Otis Chandler took over the LA Times, it went from a mouthpiece of the republican party to being an actually good newspaper.

You're talking about a political party on a local level that is quite seriously shrieking "I'm not owned! I'm not owned!" as the ground beneath their feet sinks into the ocean. Their viable candidate pool is way shallower than Miami is going to be in 20 years.

Rubio is still doing the robot thing in his victory speech as well, it was very much' Bill X that I wrote, I endorsed, and we passed' repeat three times goto 'Only I can X'. If he's their great Hispanic hope for the rebuilding then they're doomed.

Kilroy posted:What is it? I'd rather not try to guess what you mean by this. Going with the whole Russell's teapot thing, say you have a laser you want to shoot past the moon. It's the difference between saying "I am certain there is an absence there, the laser will hit its destination" and "I'm pretty sure there will be an absence, the laser should hit its destination". It's hedging, basically saying the existence of some singular omnipotent God is a massive longshot, but not a provable impossibility. I think the main concrete difference I've noticed between the two mindsets is the level of scorn and mockery towards religious people and religion in general. This isn't even talking about any particular variation of God, because the more specific you get, the more falsifiable that version is, and the more open the belief is to ridicule. So someone saying 'God is nature' would be less silly than someone saying 'God prefers followers of the Christian faith and directly caused the Great Biblical Flood' would be less silly than someone saying 'I treat my children with homeopathic medicine.' Each is roughly equivalent in likelihood of being true (nearly zero), but as they increase is falsifiability, the more justified it is to ridicule the belief.

Hell, I'm not sure the fate of cable television in the main what with Netflix eating the world. No TV channel ever stays in their present form for long. I mean you do remember that being 90 years old, NBC started out as all about radio even though nowadays it's a combined TV and movie production company owned by the largest ISP? You're also full of poo poo if you really think no one under retirement age watches any NBC or Fox content, while CNN is sitting on all over the place being watched - airports, hotels, waiting rooms in general. And even if cable goes away, hello, NBC and Fox operate broadcast networks, and given how digital TV broadcasting works they could up and put many of their channels on subchannels. Especially with upcoming changes in digital TV broadcasting that uses less bandwidth for the same quality, meaning they can put more HD channels on a single station. Fitzy Fitz posted:They're doing a pretty poo poo job of transitioning.

Not sure why you're expecting them to invest money in something that wouldn't actually make them money. Ice Phisherman posted:Half of Fox's viewership is 68 or more and isn't replacing fast enough to stay viable. Fox is going to have to pivot hard to remain watched, scale down operations or close down altogether. That's Fox News, which is just one tiny fraction of FOX. Other Fox channels remain wildly popular, with widely watched shows.
