Joe Concha: Let’s Move on from Russia and Talk About the Issues People Actually Care About

‘They are talking about wages, education, and public safety’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CONCHA: "Let’s be clear about that. CNN last quarter had its second-highest watch quarter ever. Congratulations. Here’s the problem. All other cable news network’s are up as well, and CNN despite being up year over year, they are in a distant third place in terms of total viewers in prime, and they are in third place in terms of this younger demographic that advertisers covet most. I want to quote Chris Murphy. He is a senator from Connecticut. He is a Democratic senator. He takes the bus home sometimes, because he wants to talk to people that don’t go to political rallies. Just regular people that maybe aren’t as involved with politics. But they still care. Here’s what he says. He says normally people don’t call my office, don’t write my office. I go on the bus and talk to them. I will say that they are never talking about issues like Russia. They are not talking about what’s on cable news and night. They are talking about wages, education, and public safety. Let’s take a cue from a democratic senator saying let’s move on and let’s talk about issues that people actually care about and want to be educated on."
