I have binge watched QVC for periods of time. Pure storefront capitalism at its finest. Straight up, its Agenda is they clearly want to sell you the product displayed. The daily special value is announced clearly each hour. No commercials because It IS a commercial. Can get lame when they break out ugly comfort clothing and suggest its beauty.
On the flip side, MSNBC or Fox News also have hosts that sell. The enjoyment for me is the inherent need to talk shit about others is satisfied. The desired result on QVC is for me to pick up the phone and buy. The desired result on the “news” channels is we take sides and go vote. Nightly appointments of venom injections. Lights camera action, a panel of guests made up dressed in business attire trying to get me to buy into a product.
For the entertainment MSNBC CNN and FNC use a little more negativity. QVC will tell me why to do away with that old battery charger. Possibly even disparaging my charging station in the process. Less entertaining, and all kinds of manors can get stale for the sober. Not that it would matter; If the masses end up hating their charger, it is a benign cancer. Nobody is gonna get drunk and hammer their friends charging station at the next get together.
While the QVC hosts are not disguised as journalists, some are kind of sexy.
If there was a brand new cable network that told the news, didn’t push an agenda, reported the light and dark of both sides, would anyone watch it? Would that channel make money if there was no side for sponsors to wire capital to fuel the fires? Who could you trust to run it? Someone with no dirt, who cannot be bought. A person of such integrity that it would suck watching.
Boring people don’t get the money. You need a crazy political agenda, and need to be able to cuss or cry live on command to get the ratings. Rachel Maddow, just sayin’. QVC next level would be smoking hot hosts comfortable talking shit about my juicing machine. Tell me all the nutrients I’m losing and how stupid I am performing difficult cleanups. Sell me baby, sell me!
