Reruns of 'Andy Griffith,' 'Gunsmoke' OUTDRAW Jill Biden in prime time

Jill Biden had a special televised interview this week – on Monday night – and a "tiny audience" actually "stumbled upon" it, according to a new report from Fox News.

That network, in fact, confirmed her ratings were lower than "TBS' midday repeats of 'Friends,' Investigation Discovery's 'Murder Comes Home,' 'Andy Griffith Show' and 'Gunsmoke' reruns on TV Land Classic, Hallmark's decades-old airings of 'The Golden Girls' and Lifetime's 'Castle' were among Monday’s basic cable offerings to outdraw CNN’s 9 p.m. ET program."

Bluntly describing how her "primetime special" on CNN was a "flop," the report noted the whole network has been struggling to viewers.

The 9 p.m. Eastern slot, in the heart of prime time, actually has been in turmoil since Chris Cuomo was fired more than a year ago.

"The 'CNN Primetime' special, branded 'Jill Biden Abroad,' featured an interview CNN White House correspondent Arlette Saenz that shed a staggering 43% of viewers of CNN’s average 2023 9 p.m. ET viewership," the report said.

Jill Biden had "a dismal" 368,000 total viewers, far behind Fox News' 2.7 million and even MSNBC's 2.3 million for the same time.

"It was CNN’s worst weekday performance at 9 p.m. since June 17, 2022, with the exception of Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Martin Luther King Jr. Day," the report said.

Do the Bidens realize how unpopular they actually are with the American people?

The report did note that the "tiny audience" that "stumbled upon" her show "got to hear her profess love for her stepson Hunter Biden," who repeatedly has provided scandal after scandal to his father as vice president and now president.

Those range from video encounters with prostitutes to drug-induced stupors to cutting huge financial deals with those living in states that are enemies to the U.S., such as Russia and China, in what critics have charged has been nothing less than a pay-for-play business.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.

This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.

This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.

Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.

That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
