Christie was ratings but not for FOX.
I’d feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such a YUUUUUUGE! asshole.

Christie does not have a chance by imitating Trump or playing by the fables of any of the rightwing Republicans opposing him.
If he ever had a chance, it was long ago and he needed to imitate Fiorello LaGuardia, another short fat Italian man with populist POVs. But he didn’t. Long ago he decided to go after the opulent lifestyles and dubious policies of corrupt rightwing politics. So he has his government perks and billionaire friends (and accompanying statewide crony scandals), but he wants more. Good for the country, he will never get it. He has peaked.

Wow. So the two of them admitted that Fox News and journalism in general is about ratings and not information. Exactly
Journalism is part of the entertainment industry, most of all TV journalism. And they’ll say whatever they need to in order to keep those ratings. Because for as much as Fox News is a Republican outlet, that’s primarily because that’s where the money is. Murdoch isn’t put this out to take one for the team. He’s helping guide the team because that’s where the money is.
And that’s one of the biggest problems Republicans have these days, that the only people in charge are charlatans who don’t really care about the impact of what they’re doing, besides their ability to make money at it. And so there are no sensible GOP politicians scheming for the party’s long term success. They’re just following orders from the mouthpieces on TV and talk radio who run the show.
And that’s bad news for all of us. At least Nixon and Reagan’s handlers were looking out for the big picture. Today’s bozos just say the first thing that pops into their heads, because it gets good ratings. And there’s no longterm strategy beyond that. And so every fight is an epic fight that needs a government shutdown, because that’s what it takes to get attention.

Hey Porky Pig, stick a fork in you. . . you are done. To paraphrase The Donald “Nobody wants a president that looks like you”.

While the state of campaigns and media coverage in this country is so depressing, I take a perverse pleasure in reading about Chris Christie desperately begging for attention. Such an appropriate end to a political career.

Aw, he was cute enough to earn a slot as a segment bumper on CBS this morning. Maybe magic tricks or spinning a ball on his nose in the future?

In a matter as serious as a choosing a president, a ratings chase looks like flushing water.
But just yesterday Christie was telling folks to not read newspapers or watch TV. WTF??

Christie: Undisciplined campaign, undisciplined waistline. Begging for attention is so unseemly, especially when he berates Trump and the media for seeking out only ratings while simultaneously saying he can drive higher ratings. Oh, did I say "undisciplined?"

Kelly responded that viewers seemed to, and asked, “Why when we put on something with Jeb Bush talking about the economy or Scott Walker talking about labor unions, why doesn’t anybody watch that?”
Maybe because your viewing demographic has the general IQ and attention span of a sea slug on crack.

“I mean, in my state NJ, we have members of my inner team about to go on trial, people are quitting or getting fired left and right, job creation is practically the worst in all 50 states, and the voters there HATE me! Isn’t that exciting enough?" Christie added.
