Blood Type Stroke Risks and the Death of Jeff Morgan
A study from ScienceAlert suggests that individuals with Type A blood may have a higher risk of early-onset strokes. The hosts then announce the sudden passing of Jeff Morgan, the 58-year-old founder of the No Agenda Tea Club. They clarify that Morgan was unvaccinated to counter immediate assumptions about the cause of death.
CNN's historically low ratings are discussed, with the network reportedly averaging only 76,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic. The hosts analyze Jeff Zucker's strategy to move away from traditional news to capture non-news advertising dollars as revenues decline.
Adam Curry reviews television ratings, noting that NBC's "Terror in Boston" special saw a significant ratings jump compared to its usual programming. They discuss Jeff Zucker's strategy at CNN to use personalities like Anthony Bourdain to boost viewership. The hosts conclude that "terror scores well" in the 18-to-49 demographic, leading to its prevalence in news cycles.
New CNN chief Jeff Zucker is overseeing a shift in programming strategy as Piers Morgan approaches a contract renegotiation. Morgan claims that the White House is formally responding to a petition for his deportation, framing it as a First Amendment issue. The hosts express alarm at Morgan's declarative statement that "we all know" another mass shooting will occur in the next few months.
