The creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, Scott Adams, who has an amazingly accurate track record for his predictions has predicted the demise of both Vox and the Daily Beast within a year. A big part of the reason is that both these outlets, especially Vox, have been at the forefront of promoting widespread censorship on YouTube and the rest of the social media.

Demise via censorship suicide.

The largest investor in Vox is NBC Universal.

Spit.

Others besides them have only remained afloat because of buy outs at pennies on the dollar.

If these leftists going down with the ship won’t even listen to anti-Antifa, anti-identitarian, anti-instersectionalist, but yet still liberal Tim Pool, then they won’t listen to anyone.

I wish someone would expose how Vox was started by Ezra Klein, the partisan media guy behind Journolist, a site where left wing journalists colluded to shape the news for the liberal agenda.

Vox is NBC’s Brownshirt brigade.

Vox only survives because someone pushes their own money down into the ‘spiral hole’ to keep it afloat. I would take a guess that they burn through three million a month for operations cost and salaries. Whoever is paying for them....will continue to do so until November of 2020. Within 3 months after that (figuring Trump wins), I would agree that it’ll either fold up or be sold off.

I’m not sure about the Daily Beast potential. In terms of readership ranking....they actually rank a good piece behind Vox, and probably pull even less profit/cash flow than Vox. Maybe they will be bought out by someone who has cash (this year) and carry them through to November 2020.

I have wondered how many media outlets are “too big to fail,” because the only ones I have seen go under lately are Current TV and the American outlet of Al Jazeera, and neither of them were major players. Therefore I’ll be watching to see if Scott Adams is right on this.

Umm, yeah, Scott Adams is probably a bit off on his prediction. I don't blame his reasoning, I just blame economics of a presidential election cycle and the upcoming census. Both should be economic booms for Vox and Daily Beast and forestall their closure.

So figure around June 2021 would be the demise.

Vox and Daily Beast might survive, but only if it has massive injections of liquidity from the likes of George Soros and other Left-leaning billionaires. The Washington Post still exists because of Jeff Bezos being a "sugar daddy."

Let's see; could it be someone whose name begins with 'SO', and, ends with 'OS'?

I believe he is the one behind the "caravan" of Central Americans that invaded our country a few months back.

The creator of the Daily Kos also had a hand in its creation.
