Summary
A new AP poll reveals widespread political fatigue among Americans, with two-thirds limiting political media consumption post-Trump’s election.
Viewership on CNN and MSNBC has plummeted, with declines of 35-54%, as many Democrats and independents step away from politics.
In contrast, Fox News has seen a 12% ratings surge, dominating cable news.
The trend mirrors post-election slumps in previous cycles, though the erosion is sharper this year.
Some suggest focusing less on Trump and more on broader issues to re-engage disenchanted audiences.
What’s the point when it’s all owned by billionaires anyway? It’s not like you’re gonna get the straight story without any corporate shenanigans. They won’t talk about anything actually important, or details about issues. It’s feels over reals from the media from here on out.
Step one: get people tired of following political news by over saturating.
Step two: politicize everything.
They may try to turn off the TV yet what they elected will come with full force at them beginning in January.
This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang, but a “yeah, whatever.”
And that’s how Putin stays in power. 😞
I don’t know if it is exhaustion for me. It is more of lack of trust given how in the tank for Trump every major outlet was.
Does anyone on Lemmy have cable TV?
Haha. Bud, I haven’t had cable TV since 2000
Tuning out of networks that are controlled by the government? Yeah, click.
I paid attention, I engaged, I voted, I urged others to vote. It didn’t matter. This country deserves what is coming.
