The legacy media still has a lot of firepower. Without their constant negativity, Trump's approval would be 10-20 points higher.

Celebrating the "death" of the MSM is premature.

They didn’t just get it wrong, they took WRONG to the jewelry store, bought it a ring, had a wedding, and took on WRONG as their new last name.

I so admire people that can craft the obvious into an entertaining consumable.

Well done!

Not really. They can cover up for corrupt politicians in California and Massachusetts, sure.

But John Doe in Springfield, Flyover Country is going to ignore CNN forever.

CNN = Fake News

Just imagine how high Trump’s approval numbers would look if the legacy media reported on him fairly.

I’ve heard her occasionally guest hosting for various Conservative radio shows.

She’s great.

I wish she had her own radio or tv show, but I doubt she’d want to take that on, as she’s a dedicated wife and mother.

Snake Yapper. One well-paid, anti-truth POS propagandist of an army of public programmer$. Consequences? None. Conscience? None.

They didn’t “get it wrong”. They knowingly lied.

I do not own a TV - never watch these lying liars.

These are good reasons why.

TV is a propaganda machine. CIA loves it. MI6 too.

I do not let televised messages from “journalists” and their sinister owners into my life. I do not listen to radio news either. Nor “talk radio”.

I choose what I want to read online. Mostly I read books. Books that I choose. Books that a Catholic Man should read.

Never would I even think of reading a Jake Tapper book, that infamous lying liar.

I was about to post a similar reply before I saw this post. You are correct. There are still people in my family who only get their news from the legacy media, and they're still falling for all of the anti Trump, anti DOGE spin. They're not close to defeated.

Cut the cord, and stop funding them.

It felt like the beginning of the end for the legacy media.

That's why I made up a new name, instead of "legacy media" I now refer to them as the "Has Been Media (HBM)". Pass it on.

Right now, they are collectively thinking, “How doe we set up a pod cast(s) in lineup(s) and draw in the views that Jog Rogan, Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly gets?”

The problem is that they’d think a small studio and a mike is all they need. Never would it cross their minds to change the CONTENT of the bile they spew.

“The legacy media still has a lot of firepower. Without their constant negativity, Trump’s approval would be 10-20 points higher. ... Celebrating the “death” of the MSM is premature.”

there’s no doubt about the 10-20 point higher approval that would have occurred without the fake stream media’s incessant Democrat propaganda and lies ...

but the fake stream media is down, but not down yet ... the trend is such, though, that they’re rapidly heading for the cliff ... i think by the end of President Trump’s administration, that the legacy media will in fact be deader than a Dodo bird ... death will be a result of President Trump’s undeniable successes and the fact that youngsters [as well as conservatives, of course] will have completed their transition to alternative media ...

Never, ever count the left out!

Leftism is a genetic trait that afflicts a good portion of the pupulation. It’s always existed and will always exist.

They’ll morph and rebrand themselves as something new, but their world view of oppressor/oppressed will always be there.

It’s why the founders warned us of “eternal vigilance”

Good grief. I agree with most of the sentiments but the underlying premise is FLAWED . The media were not wrong. They were LYING. Every. Single. Time. (I had to do that because the internet.) (I should also probably say b/c instead of because and put in a wrt or two)
