Get woke, go broke: A&E's viewership plummets 49% after canceling 'Live PD'

[jaF0]

The network was originally founded in 1984 as the Arts & Entertainment Network, initially focusing on fine arts, documentaries (including its then-flagship series Biography), and dramas (including imported series from the United Kingdom). In 1995, the network rebranded as A&E, in an effort to downplay the negative perceptions of arts programming and generally market the network as a "thought-provoking" alternative to other television channels. In 2002, at the expense of its arts programming, A&E began to gradually focus more on reality series to attract younger viewers.[1] By 2017, the network had also phased out scripted programs, making reality shows its primary focus.

That's when the beginning of the end began.

They were killed on live tv. Do you not get the difference?

Who gives a shit? TV news is full of people getting killed in real time. Stop with the self degrading pearl clutching. When it isn't going on in real time it's all Hollywood delivers these days in one form or another.

The beginning of the end started when they chose weak woke people to run their company. Stockholders should throw them all out.

American cops sure do 'enforce the law' by shooting people quite a lot.

Uhhh...nope.

It's actually a microscopic issue.

Funny how other 1st world countries don't have that problem, isnt it?

You mean where they let grooming gangs operate freely for fear of being called racist?

LOL they can keep it.

Technically the US isnt a 1st world country, but you get what I'm saying.

Based on what???

They were killed on live tv.

AND????

Put an "M" rating on it for mature content and rock n' roll.

Put a good soundtrack to it and get paid...this is America, not the fucking UK or NZ.

We have free speech, at least in the red states still.

Do you not get the difference?

Can you explain the difference??

PG-13 flicks got people beating/stabbing/shooting 280 people to death in 90 min.....gory as fuck too, way nastier than real life.

That's totally ok...bring the kids.

But not real life!!! That has to be hidden, censored, kept quiet.......why??


Why is pretend violence ok but the real deal so taboo???
