Hannah Foslien/Getty Images It’s official: the 2020 Woke Olympics are a five-alarm ratings catastrophe. We are right now in the heart of the best competition. This is the time the American public should be tuning in, and practically no one is.
How bad is it? This bad…
During Tuesday night’s primetime coverage of the Tokyo Summer Olympics, a mere 16.2 million people tuned in. That’s across all platforms, including streaming. That’s also nearly 20 million fewer viewers than the 36.1 million who tuned in this same Tuesday for the Rio Summer Games in 2016.

The numbers are even worse compared to 2012 when 38.7 million tuned in on this same Tuesday. That’s a loss of 22.5 million total viewers or 58 percent.
“NBC’s primetime Olympics coverage is now averaging 17.5 million viewers across all platforms, more than ten million shy of the NBC-only average at this point in 2016 (28.6M),” reports Sports Media Watch.
And here comes the horseshit: The Olympics is far from the first sporting event to suffer historic lows since the wave of cancellations and postponements that decimated the industry in March of last year, joining a list that includes the least-watched Super Bowl since 2007 and the least-watched NBA Finals and World Series on record. Yes, it’s the “wave of cancellations and postponements that decimated the industry,” and not a wave of unappealing and obnoxious athletes preening their own virtue. It’s not a wave of divisive and partisan politics. It’s not a wave of ungrateful competitors more interested in posing as victims than becoming champions. And it’s certainly not a wave of cowardly announcers and commentators trying to make a hero out of Simone Biles for choking, something they know is a lie.

I’m not here to trash Biles. Choking is human. But to spin a choke into “bravely dealing with mental health issues” is pure, undiluted crap, and people don’t want to hear […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
