Mainstream media’s influence waning fast The American Spectator: Voters ignore anti-Trump narratives as traditional news loses its grip on public opinion.

The 2024 presidential election results reveal the diminishing influence of legacy mainstream media, whose relentless campaign against Donald Trump - unprecedented in scale and hostility - has largely backfired.

Over half of American voters have shown that they’re no longer swayed by the daily narratives from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and PBS. They’re no longer buying what’s published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal (editorial page excepted), or other prominent outlets. Trump’s decisive victory underscores the waning power of this era’s “Yellow Journalism,” though it’s doubtful the media will change course.

Now, however, the legacy media competes with a vast landscape of alternative news sources: Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon’s War Room, Charlie Kirk, The Free Press, Newsmax, Real America’s Voice, Breitbart, Substack, Elon Musk’s X, Fox News, The American Spectator, and more. This diverse media ecosystem has given Americans choices, challenging the narratives and viewpoints of legacy media in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago.


Concluding paragraph. Things have changed and are changing more

We simply have stopped watching all state run network lies and bull sh*t.

I refuse to even click on leftist sites/articles as we have no reason to concern ourselves with what the rejected think.

I heard even the lefties are big mad at the media. They know the media lied to them by telling them Kamala was going to win, no doubts.

Pfffft... Have they finally cooked their own gooses?

In spite of all the negativity and criticism of Trump, he still won a clear victory.

I wonder what the liberals in the media think, about how little influence they had over this result? Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Joe and Mika et al, must be wondering what the fill in the blank happened?

In the way back time, the "press" thought Drudge had more pull BECAUSE he was "online". They didn't realize Drudge's pull came from presenting both sides - letting conservatives speak for themselves. So major newspapers went online and ... and ... failed.

Now the Washington Post, New York Times and LA Times think the key is Rogan's 'podcast' medium.

They're wrong again. His success - our success - is based on credibility. Calling it like you see it. Not being afraid of hearing 'the other side'. So if the idiots who run MSM 'newsrooms' start creating podcasts, they will fail once again. They tossed their credibilty years ago... opting for lies that supported one party over the other. The "Biden is sharp as a tack" was a killer - and that one just one of thousands of lies.

Loses its grip??? That's an understatement.

It first lost its grip on reality, then on public opinion!

With the exception of Fox News, those clowns are good for nothing but ridicule, schadenfreude, and a belly laugh.

This is why Deep States worldwide have a mad-on for the free exchange of information on the internet.

And likely why I’m still banned on Twitter/X.
