That’s a decline of 23% for MSNBC and 43% for CNN. Take a look at this table of MSNBC’s ratings now and four years ago: Meanwhile, Fox News has risen 8% in total viewers, thanks in part to Newsmax TV’s massive ratings gains being short-lived.Īn even better comparison would be looking at the ratings today versus four years ago, meaning this time in Trump’s presidency. According to the website Cable Rankings, MSNBC has shed 47% of its viewers this year, and CNN has shed 62% of its viewers. In fact, both of these networks’ ratings tanked in 2021. As such, the networks would benefit from having a Democrat President, right? Well, not exactly. MSNBC and CNN are well-known for being tailored toward more liberal viewers, and perhaps some conservatives who enjoy hate-watching.

Founding Director of Chicago Project on Security and Threats.Who are our neighbors? And how did some of them end up causing a historic riot? While some expressed shock at the riots on Capitol Hill after a speech from Donald Trump on January 6th, others have said they were not surprised that their neighbors were participants. The Surprising Demographics Of The Capitol Hill Insurrectionists Author of This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism."People are fighting tooth and nail to hold on to any power and privilege they have, but you cannot stop evolution and progression," Lemon said. Lemon added that the progression of racial justice in this country is only achievable through an overhaul of policing, and increased police training.

"There are certain professions where you almost have to be perfect, especially, when you are the gatekeeper of life and death," Lemon said. He holds Chauvin accountable for the arrest gone wrong. "If you see someone’s humanity and are in friendship with them, it is harder for you to put your knee on their neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds," he said, referring to the length of time ex-Minnesota Police Officer Derek Chauvin is shown on video kneeling on George Floyd's neck.įloyd's alleged struggles with addiction have been used as justification for the incident by Chauvin's defense team - but Lemon wants people to be focused on the humanity of Floyd. He recommended talking to friends of different backgrounds to discuss issues like the Chauvin trial. “The only way people are going to solve racial inequity is through relationships,” Lemon said. In the book, Lemon urges white Americans to lean into the discomfort to unpack the root of racism in the United States and that change will only start through conversation and listening. Lemon contends dialogue can bring about changes to the social constructs of race and racism. He argues that the pathway to a better American society is through discussion. In his new book, This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism, Lemon addresses that topic head-on. "The issue of race is not going to be solved by the people facing racism," Lemon said. With the emergence of several police brutality incidents around the country, Lemon joined Town Square with Ernie Manouse to discuss the lessons the George Floyd case should teach us about policing and racial justice.
