Mainstream News is Dying
Uncommon Analysis ^ | 11/19/2024 | Uncommon Analysis

Author proposes "polluted information environment" is at least partly to blame for election results, claiming professional news is better. We believe the democratization of information is good thing, not one to be feared, citing many examples of how the professional "news" have outright lied.

It occurred to me that the only reason that you see so many ads on Mainstream TV for Big Pharma, is that they are the only ones willing to advertise anymore, and if you took those ad dollars away, those networks would collapse.

The legacy media is dead totally dead. The Democrats just can’t accept it. The ratings for legacy media and cable news networks are down 40 to 50%
The only people still watching these dinosaurs are the baby boomers
You don’t possibly think generations XYZ watch the 530 evening news do you?
They are getting their news in other places

I wonder what is being said behind the scenes, at MSNBC and other news organizations.

After all the negativity in their reporting and opinion about Trump, and Trump wins the election, do they have any thoughts about how they failed to persuade the American people?

Yes. Also change “News” to Propaganda.

Yet another reason why the left hates Trump. He outed them in full technicolor for all the world to see.

Intentional or not, he drove them to be so frantic and radical in their biased treatment of him they have thoroughly beclowned themselves to the point of being a few shades below tabloid writers.

It’s just good to know they have no idea why it’s happening. Journalists baffled!

One thing has definitely changed since 2016. Presidential candidates now routinely reject invitations to televised “debates” without any concern for damaging their election prospects.

Given their ever dwindling audience, they soon will not be able to attract advertising sponsors. Perhaps CNN and MSNBC will become as irrelevant as NPR and have to resort to fund raising telethons to stay on the air.

If the mainstream media goes under, where will U.S. residents get their free lies, propaganda, misinformation and disinformation. Oh that’s right. Smurfs are all “migrating” to the Magical BlueSkyLand.

People need to realize that the First Amendment says that the press is to be FREE.

It is not fair, accurate, good, uplifting, honest, or anything else, except by willing persons.

So preserving the US Republic really is a morality issue.

There are a truckload of other principles and laws that allow people to be really bad, so long as it preserves their freedom.

Our task at preserving the US is only in a minor way one of legislation and law enforcement.

It really is mostly a question of moral reform that we have to engage in to save America.

The rest is petty detail.
