They don’t care, this is the point of legacy media. They will always have funding as long as they keep pushing what is told, media companies are not driven by what sells anymore.
Antifa and BLM have done us a service. The real problem is government and corporations selling everyone's future to enrich themselves. As they have done with China for the past 50 years.
Another problem is the government and media seeking to divide people, because without a bogeyman people would be asking pretty quickly what the fuck is the point of government and media.
Now ordinarily, the former problem flies under the radar because who is going to scrutinize what happens in Washington, or Nike's boardroom, when you have kids to feed, a wife to eat, shit to do.
The same lack of scrutiny, or even difficulty of scrutiny if you live in a geographical area that is too skewed, makes their FUD far too effective in the latter problem.
But with the riots last year, people sure are paying attention to what the government is doing. And every clown move stretches the rubber band a little tighter.
And while left and right division still exists, the left is now heading towards a civil war with the far left, while the right can just take care of itself and watch them eat each other.
That is not changing. The right is not aggressive. And the right still has turnip farms to tend far removed from city liberals. Just as the city liberals still have BuzzFeed articles to write far removed from the turnip farmers who they were told are all Klansmen. So any realignment within the left isn't going to come from attraction or openness to the right. It isn't going to come from "You know, Chauvin might not have asphyxiated Floyd." It's going to come from finding that they themselves are on the right of the extreme left. It's going to come from "Cops shouldn't intervene in stabbings when the stabber is black!" Hence my saying Antifa and BLM are useful to us.
You can't read anything into this. It would be nice if everyone was deciding they were sick of Hollywood's bullshit, but it could just as easily be because it's an awards show for a year of movies in which there were no movies.
They probably do. The number of viewers they draw from the sample likely assumes that something like 2+ viewers are watching through each stream their data feed catches, so there were probably something like 4 million TVs and streamers tuned to it. They then extrapolate that to roughly 10 million viewers but in reality probably half of those TVs and streams were watched by a single woman or gay man because the people who watch that shit today don’t have families of 4 gathered around the idiot box anymore and no one in their viewing demographic is having watch parties due to The Germ.
The real number is probably closer to 5-7 million viewers. Ad rates and cable carriage fees are tied to those ratings so they have to come up with ways to polish the turd because if they reported raw feed data the collective “guh” would cause eardrums to explode.
Don't forget a lot of those "views" are TVs just left on, bar rooms and airports and dentist offices where waiting rooms are for one-person-only now, etc.
The biggest media event of the year has about the eyeballs of an above-average youtube thot.

This data isn't about the media though. It's about confirming there is a silent majority out there whose response to the woke shit is STFU.
The silent majority are irrelevant. The peaceful majority are irrelevant.
Black Lives Matter and Antifa have shown in no uncertain terms: Violence works.
Violence works when it is permitted violence. If it is not permitted you get your life destroyed for walking through an open door.

This kind of complacency is why the right finds itself in the ineffectual position it is currently in.

I think we can fairly assume most viewers of the Oscars tune in for the celebrities and not the movies.

Feel like for years since the numbers are at record low. They just don't give a shit anymore.
