It seems there are still plenty of God-fearing Americans who have zero interest in supporting the propaganda machine of the brutal Chinese regime:
NBC is facing a cataclysmic loss of audience for the 2022 Winter Olympics as viewership tanked for Friday's Opening Ceremony, averaging just 16 million.
It is a record low for the Opening Ceremony (20.1 million for 1988 in Calgary was the previous record) and a whopping 43 percent below the 2018 Games in South Korea that notched 28.3 million viewers despite also dealing with a less than advantageous Asian time zone for American audiences.
Yikes.
That is brutal.
I mean, I don't feel sorry for leftist NBC (and especially not the Chinese commies), considering that NBC was straight-up preaching Xi Jingping's propaganda during the opening ceremony:
NBC said the 16 million is a "total audience delivery" and includes all of its networks and streaming. The television-only average audience was below 14 million for the day, per the preliminary data released by the network.
While ratings tend to increase over the first week, as more viewers get caught up in the action, NBC will have to work out of a ratings hole.
The host country, China, is a serious problem.
Yeah, tell me about it!
Friday's Opening Ceremony from the famed Bird's Nest in Beijing was scaled back (just over two hours) and rich with politics and propaganda, including a speech from International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach that might as well have been written by the Chinese Communist Party...
It ended with China using cross country skier Dinigeer Yilamujiang, who the state run media said has Uyghur heritage, as one of the cauldron lighters. It was a clear counter to the claims of genocide — see, look at this smiling, celebrated Uyghur.
NBC, continuing with the propaganda, is spinning this as a wonderful thing:
Back to non-propaganda land:
It was a disturbing and dispiriting moment, a young athlete and an iconic moment in every Olympics used as a propaganda prop to cover up a campaign of slavery, torture, forced abortions and internment in reeducation camps. It did nothing to build good feelings toward the competition.
NBC has a $7.75 billion contract to broadcast the Olympics through 2032, which could mean a seriously massive loss of revenue if people don't tune in.
But again, these networks have spent years ignoring China's abuses, alienating half of America, and peddling Covid fear, so when we're left with empty Olympic stadiums with no fans, no hosts on the ground in China due to fears of Covid and China's quarantine camps, and a bunch of ridiculous propaganda, NBC can partially thank itself for the situation.
Right now it subtracts into fewer and fewer viewers, who so far have too many other options than to tune into a passionless, fanless, overly political event from a country trying to use the Olympics to brush aside the horrors occurring inside its border.
Rest In Peace, NBC! 😭
