MSNBC has seen 33% of their primetime viewers leave since the war in Israel has begun.
Why are viewers leaving? Their woke reporting.
Andrea Mitchell was interviewing an Israeli mother on MSNBC news. The woman’s two sons 12 and 16 were kidnapped by Hamas, and Mitchell tried to get sympathy for Gaza being bombed. The mother was incensed and lectured the woke news reporter.
“I can’t be sympathetic anymore. I can’t be sympathetic to animal human beings — well, they’re not really human beings — who came into my house, broke everything,” said Renana Gomeh, whose children were kidnapped.
“Look, you’re looking first for a symmetrical situation. And I must say it isn’t. If you were dealing with a war who is between two countries, countries don’t take children hostages,’ she said. “I’m sorry. It’s against the laws of war. It’s against humanity. It’s against anything that we all believe in. Israel never done that, and it will never do. So there is no symmetry.”
In another interview, Gomeh was more descriptive of what happened in her home.
“[They] Stole everything, took my children from their bedrooms and took them to the Gaza Strip. I was on the phone with my youngest, I wasn’t at home at the time and all I could hear was him begging for them not to take him because he is too young,” she said.
What else is driving down the ratings?
Unlike other outlets (like CNN) MSNBC has decided to publish a “joint death toll.”
Meanwhile, Fox News has seen a 42% increase in primetime coverage. That is mainly due to their on-the-ground reporter, Trey Yingst, who was in the country when the attack broke out. His account on X (Twitter) is a must-follow. During a 72-hour stretch, Yingst was constantly reporting for 63 of those hours. Recently he was safely able to get into Be’eri, which was one of the first small towns hit that was pillaged by the terrorists.

We entered the town of Be’eri with the Israeli army. 10% of the community was slaughtered by Hamas. A Major General told us on-camera that people were found without heads. Others with hands tied behind their backs. Don’t look away. pic.twitter.com/1bva9ilLwz
