They’re trying to set up a federal bailout of Establishment media.
Most Americans believe that you can’t believe anything coming out of this country’s “news” rooms these days. It’s all fake news given to them by the Dung Beetle Party for distribution to the ignorant.
The “News” business hasn’t produced “news” in years.
It’s 100% propaganda now - on both sides. Even Fox is CNN wannabe…
Billionaires can only write off so much of a loss, these figures who went and scouped up all these companies in a failed bid to control narratives have had enough.
Fox is owned and staffed by leftists, its only a sock puppet of right leaning news at this point.
“But not so anymore, as our economy has been surprisingly strong of late.”
What?
Tell enough lies, and even some of the gullible will figure out the lies.
A rule of thumb in business: It takes "x" expenditure of funds to bring in a customer, but many multiples of "x" expenditure to try to bring back a pissed-off customer.
Walk away. It looks tiny, when one does it. It is a huge effect when many do it.
I caught that too. Then I noticed the article is from Politico.
They miss the good old days of monopoly control of the news when people had no alternatives to the big dailies, AP and UPI, ABC, CBS and NBC.
I would propose an experiment. Some wealthy individual buys up a legacy publication, say Sports Illustrated. They get rid of all the woke BS and go back to the format from oh, the 1970’s. Be interesting to see what would happen.
With ESPN, why would you even need SI?
Journalism today is TOTAL PROPAGANDA and people are waking up to this fact.
AI can do propaganda better than humans.
No original thinking is required—or allowed.
All of these worthless lib-propaganda spewing rags should die, sooner rather than later. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving hive of scumbags and liars.
It is not the entire news business that is cratering.
News on the right is doing well, even expanding.
The “News” business is cratering because what they are selling isn’t news, it’s leftwing propaganda.
Like late night “comedians” who now pitch “political comedy” many news casters have become political pawns and their readers and watchers are fleeing.
I don’t watch network MSM news anymore. I don’t even listen to local drive-time news because they get their news from AP, Reuters, et al and in urban areas they’re just mouthpieces for national leftists.
