Episode notes
Cable News Ratings Trends
- Fox News' primetime viewership is thriving while MSNBC and CNN are declining, suggesting a shift in audience preferences.
- Joy Reid's absence increased ratings, which indicates viewer dislike of her show specifically.

- Kamala Harris' campaign, influenced by corporate executives and neglecting economic issues, was flawed.
- MSNBC's vulnerability lies in its credibility with viewers, as their overly positive portrayal of Harris during the election proved false.

- The WHCA controls press access to smaller events, such as those in the Oval Office or Air Force One, through rotation among its members.
