All of the network and cable news shows are showing major declines in their audiences, and everyone knows why.

 It’s like if a fat, orange baboon escaped from the zoo and went on a continual rampage across the city, protected by arcane laws that prevent shooting or capturing the beast.

Every day brings new antics, from throwing feces to raping dogs, cats and even small children and old women. Then, imagine a contingent of whackjobs actually encouraging the beast and joining in the crime spree.

Each day the news outlets would report on the day’s atrocities, with the audience saying OMG, can you believe that stuff? Every day would bring a new OMG moment as the deranged baboon got more out of control, encouraged by a crowd that egged it on, wearing orange caps in a sign of solidarity. The cable news shows would enjoy their time in the sun as the baboon’s reign of terror got continually worse, culminating in a mob of simians storming the local courthouse, killing and maiming guards and spreading their feces on the halls and walls as they searched for the inhabitants. An insane lynch mob, emboldened by the fat orange baboon.

Then, all of a sudden the rampaging beast is removed from the scene of it’s crimes. There are no more headlines of a giant monkey terrorizing the defenseless populace. The evening news contains mundane events like mass shootings and a raging pandemic. Nothing to compare to the deranged beast and it’s band of double digit IQ followers.

No wonder the ‘news’ shows have lost most of their audiences....
