They simply do not get it! Their product is garbage! Their adherence to the orthodoxy of the Democrat Party, diversity, multiculturalism, and now DIE, as well as giving Dem politicians a pass while excoriating Republicans over the tiniest peccadilloes ... no one wants to read what they write. And these days, people have alternative news sources. It's not that Los Angelenos can't support the LA Times. It's that Los Angelenos WON'T support the LA Times.

Should read...”The Fake News Business Really Is Cratering”...

and probably only because their backers and main funders (See: Soros & Co.) figure that those fake news outlets have served their purpose and are no longer needed to secure the coup and takeover of the USA. And they might be correct in that assumption. Only time will tell... and I posit that we will know for certain within a week of November 5.

Several points:

- Gosh, I notice lots of independent news sources are flourishing. Substack and Locals for example both have lively newsgroups that provide enough funding to employ their independent journalists.

- Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Megyn Kelly, Podcast of the Lotus Eaters, Russell Brand, the Daily Wire, The Epoch Times, Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, and many many more are thriving. Pollutico calls them “opinionated”. What the hell do they think the corporate media is? What the hell do they think they are? Sure independent sources will have their own views and biases. The key is to listen to a few of them and get a more well rounded perspective that way rather than relying on one giant corporate media source.

There will always be a market for news and commentary. Its just that people no longer trust the corporate media to provide it. They flushed their credibility down the toilet a long time ago.

- They say “democracy” will not do as well when the “watchdogs” are gone....yet the corporate media went from being the Establishment’s watchdogs to being the Establishment’s lapdogs a long time ago.

The answer to this down swing is Trump. If Trump becomes president these news agencies will prosper. Vote Trump, save the news industry!

Maybe you’re pissed off by all the fake news, biased media coverage (doesn’t matter if left or right), or the never-ending narrative of we’re all doomed and will die tomorrow.

Is it time to give up on old news?

I Stopped Watching News 6 Years Ago — Here’s Why You Should Quit, Too! No, you won’t miss anything “important.”

Moreno Zugaro Age of Awareness

I never understood why people watched the news.

When I was a kid, they were on every evening after dinner. It was always the same-old, same-old. Some politicians fought about some law, some terrorists wanted to blow up some city, and some natural disaster plagued some country. Yawn.

At one point, I didn’t buy into the hype of the world is ending anymore. It’s completely wrong anyway. If you look at the facts on a global scale, life for humans is better than it has ever been before.

When I moved out, I started an experiment — and stopped watching the news altogether. I sold my TV, blocked websites, ignored newspapers, and unfollowed Instagram accounts. That was six years ago.

You might’ve toyed with the same thought as well.

Maybe you’re pissed off by all the fake news, biased media coverage (doesn’t matter if left or right), or the never-ending narrative of we’re all doomed and will die tomorrow.

There are a bunch of reasons to close the curtain on the whole circus.

Your mood will improve tremendously. You’ll have a lot more time since you won’t be caught up in the negativity spiral, disaster, and constant worries anymore. Overall, your life will get better on almost every conceivable level.

And the best part: You’ll still know what’s going on.

No, the propaganda industry is cratering, as they darn well should be.

It's a shame how badly the media has served us.

A free press is a cornerstone of a free society.

Unfortunately our media has become a tool of the oppressive government, much like how Pravda and Tass loyally served the Communist Soviet government back in the Cold War days.

Isn’t it interesting how Woke Politico has failed to notice that it’s the most woke who go the fastest broke. They need to take their woke colored glasses off and notice there’s a market out here for the truth.

But not so anymore, as our economy has been surprisingly strong of late.

That’s delusional.

I wonder if anyone in the corrupt news media thought if they just tell the truth that they would make more money and stay employed???
