The above headline is a choice cut lifted verbatim from a Tuesday morning article by CNN media guy Brian Stelter who, as you probably already guessed, now has the ratings numbers from last week’s Republican midterm convention in Dallas to compare with the Wednesday night NFL kickoff Super Bowl rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Like the game itself, the ratings contest saw a defeat for the team owned by a Mar-a-Lago regular with a history of hiring prostitutes and employing murderous psychopaths who wrap themselves Old Glory to loudly announce themselves as “patriots” while downplaying their history of cheating and corruption.

However unlike the SEA 13 – NE 10 snore, the ratings battle was a fucking massacre: 25 million for the NFL to 3 million for the Dallas convention kickoff. And as Stelter has larger testicles than a large majority of other adult males in the mainstream media, he did not omit convicted felon President Trump’s premature declaration of victory from the reporting on the brutal ratings defeat for MAGA.

Now are television ratings necessarily the fairest measure given the disparity between the paywalled nature of NFL broadcasts and the wider distribution of the convention via YouTube and Rumble streams? No, but Stelter’s got that angle covered, writing “NBC announced on Monday that the game averaged 25.1 million across both broadcast and streaming. By contrast, the most-viewed YouTube videos of Trump’s night one speech have only hundreds of thousands of views,” thus supporting his thesis that the “patriots” still got thoroughly stomped by their competition.
