Biased Media Ratings Continue to Plummet

CNN viewership has dropped another 19% this year. The traditional explanation, that viewers are leaving because of expanding choice including the Internet, is easily disprovable. Fox News, which is indeed fair and balanced, is up 32% over the same period. There are three areas where leftists are refusing to adapt despite failure: news, politics (cf. Howard Dean as Chairman of the Democratic party) and movies. Michael Medved's 1992 thesis in Hollywood vs. America has been recently proven. G-rated movies are eleven times as profitable as R-rated ones.

The first major filmmaker to avoid liberal propaganda and develop a brand for simply entertaining stories will be enormously profitable. It looks like this may be Pixar, because they focus on G-rated entertainment. There certainly are politically correct messages, but they are less blatant than most.
