Title: They're moving Jay Leno because . . .
Post by: Miyabi on January 09, 2010, 01:56:24 AM: Too many people watch Jay Leno instead of the News so affiliates are threatening to cancel because their ratings are too low. :D

I found this very humorous.

TV news is failing because it sucks. It's always sucked, of course, but now that we have the Internet, we're all starting to wake up and realize just how bad it really is. When I can go online and read or watch only the news stories I want in whatever order I want, what use do I have for traditional news programming?

Of course, to admit that would be to admit to their own irrelevance, and denial is easier. So they blame it Leno instead, whose show also sucks? Seriously, how do you sell that? Leno seems like an all-around good guy from what I can see, but his talk show is dreadfully boring, and I don't know anyone that watches it.
