Then, on the eve of the release of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Red-Roulette\/Desmond-Shum\/9781982156152\">book<\/a> exposing Chinese political corruption last week, his wife suddenly reappeared.<\/p>\n<p><b>Quote Of The Day:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to publish the book because, in my view, this is bringing international attention to her case.

Only 40.5% were men.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Gap<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The disparity exists at both two-year and four-year colleges, but it\u2019s the most stark at private four-year schools, where during this past year female students comprised 61% of the student body.<\/p>\n<p>Some universities are even quietly trying to recruit more men, while others are now accepting a higher percentage of men than women to balance out the student body.<\/p>\n<p>The decline in college enrollment is also most dramatic among poor and working-class white men. Minority men from the same economic background are now enrolling more frequently than their white counterparts.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_287294\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-287294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/VALERIE-MACONContributorAFPGetty-Images.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/VALERIE-MACONContributorAFPGetty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/VALERIE-MACONContributorAFPGetty-Images-300x202.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287294\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-287294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">VALERIE MACON\/Contributor\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>3) The <\/b><b>2021 Emmys<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Topline: <\/b>The 2021 Emmy awards will air tomorrow night and this year\u2019s nominations provide a window into how the television industry is changing \u2013 and how it\u2019s staying the same.<\/p>\n<p><b>Streaming<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The biggest trend is the near-total domination of streaming over traditional broadcast networks.<\/p>\n<p><b>For Example:<\/b> In the award category for Outstanding Comedy Series, all but one of the eight nominees originated on streaming platforms. For Outstanding Drama Series, only two of the eight nominees air on broadcast.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ratings<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This trend doesn\u2019t dovetail with ratings.

Together, cable and broadcast draw 64% of the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Nielsen ratings have adapted their metrics to capture streaming views, as well, revealing how a popular streaming show is much different from a popular TV show of the past.<\/p>\n<p>Emmy ratings have been on a downward trajectory for a while, with every year essentially a new record low since 2015 \u2014 around when streaming platforms started to become popular.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_286829\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-286829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/A083A4CD-C266-42EB-B5D2-7F96B5979EDE_1_201_a.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/A083A4CD-C266-42EB-B5D2-7F96B5979EDE_1_201_a.jpeg 724w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/A083A4CD-C266-42EB-B5D2-7F96B5979EDE_1_201_a-300x169.jpeg 300w\" alt=\"School bus stop sign for children to pass - stock photo A STOP sign is out by the school bus and children can be seeing crossing the road in front of the school bus.
