Cable news shows known to be seen by the President of the United States, such as MSNBC's Morning Joe and Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, are raising their advertising rates:
The ad rates for "Morning Joe" have more than doubled post-election, according to one veteran media buyer. Trump, who reportedly watches the show most mornings, has a close relationship with "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough, and they talk regularly. Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" and other prime-time programs on Fox News have boosted their rates about 50 percent. Trump also is a frequent viewer of the network's prime-time shows.
"The president's media habits are so predictable, advertisers migrate to those areas," said one media buyer. One prominent D.C. consultant said some of his clients, including a big bank and major pharmaceutical company, were negotiating this week to buy ads on "O'Reilly" and "Morning Joe" because they knew they had a good chance of reaching the president. Trump has also been known to respond directly to what he's watching on television and tweet statistics and topics he sees on-air. Those tweets often drive news coverage during the day.

Demographic: from the Greek ,
Greek δῆμος (dêmos, “the people”)
Graphic, from the Greek, γραφος, writing (both text and figure). So in reference to Our High Most Ridiculed President in Name, he cannot be a Demographic, he at most can be an ἄνθρωπογραφος, a writing of man; but since it is a single, very petty and tiny-handed man, perhaps ἴδιογραφoν, which unfortunately translates to the English, "idiot writing", or in the pollsters sense, "a party of one". Strange echoes of the Army slogan the Americans had, "An Army of One", with the ads showing one soldier running the opposite direction of everyone else. I assumes he was deserting. I assume the same of Trump. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/basics/definition/con-20025568 [mayoclinic.org]
Even now, Morocco has a on-line video asking to be second? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVJ1nSYP7as [youtube.com] Where will it end? America is the laughing stock of the entire rest of the world, worse than North Korea under Kim, worse than Italy under Berlusconi! Worse that the Phillipines under Duterte! Worst than Chile under Pinochet! Worse than Spain under Franco (and if you have ever seen the Movie "Pan's Labyrinth", you know how bad that was!). Worse than Margaret Thatcher! Worse than Aslan, the stupid lion that let the Ice Queen get all that power just to see if his subjects would die for him! And finally, Trump will be the mirror of Saddam, he will take out his son-in-law, because he might threaten him. Trump will abandon his press secretary to the tender mercies of the cast of the remake of "Ghostbusters", and Milo will be thrown in gratis.
No, in Trump America, the TV does not watch you! Instead, the Donald watches the TV, but the rest of the audience watches the Donald, and once they realize that the Donald is only watching TV, the whole "non-reality" part of "reality TV" will kick in. He wanted to "win", and Hillary let him. Worse thing that could have happened to President Tiny Hands! He could have gone down in history as only a sleasy New York developer. But now, now he is "45", the worst president ever". And he had to beat George W. Bush for that title! Way to go, Donald!

There are plenty of people making fun of democrats all over the world. Let me make one thing clear about "entire rest of the world". "Entire rest of the world" is just waiting for America to shut the fuck up so "entire rest of the world" can continue doing what they were doing.
