The New York Times piece last week about the dismal ratings for this season’s Ellen Show, it felt like history repeating itself.
As we are all aware, last summer Ellen was accused of being, mmm…not so nice, and of creating a toxic work environment. According to the Times, when Ellen premiered last September and apologized, viewers tuned in.
They have since been tuning her out, and I’m wondering if Ellen is being shut down and shut out again? And should all the good she’s done be ignored?Full disclosure here.
I have worked with the media for nearly 30 years, with all manner of outlets, including print, digital, news programs, variety, and talk shows.
