=============Note the new DECEITFUL method of counting “verified print and digital circulation” in the total which means newspapers they GIVE AWAY to schools and other places. Not PAID circulation.==============
These are the media’s ways; how they circle the wagons around each other for each other.
ABC’s higher ups are smart enough to know that they need ‘cover’ from newspapers, just as the newspapers need ABC’s(and other outlets) cover in order to do what they do.
The more the old media declines, the more dangerous of a position the find themselves in.
That’s why the left needs net neutrality so much. What’s the biggest threat to the old order? The internet.
As did the printing press destroy many, many empires 500 years ago. See Martin Luther.
I think (perhaps hope is better word) that the Old Orders really don't know what to do to stop the internet, and they're trying desperately to make something stick. The thing moves too fast for them to control it. Just when they think they've got the answer, it mutates.
I suggest that this is the first time in human history that humans have had the completely unfettered ability to interact worldwide. It scares the crap out of "The Man."
