I’d take that bet.

They are dying as it is, with plummeting suscription and advertising numbers, because of the’net.

And the President pounds on them daily, as does the ‘conservative media,’ what there is of it.

All those establishment reporters lump all of this together, and blame Trump for all of it.

They will fight him to the last.

Twenty years ago the press was blaming their problems on 'the net'... it wasn't true then - and it's not true now. Back then 'Drudge' was pulling in hundreds of thousands of 'eyes' on his content. And when liberal papers would put their content on the net they couldn't sell it... coulnd't get people to look at it or pay for it...

MSM was drivel on newsprint it was drivel on the flickering screen. Yes, the medium will change to flickering screen...you're totally right on that... but that's NOT what killed newspapers.

I saw Newspapers flip in the 60's on the civil rights movement. Flips have happened before and they'll happen again. It's amazing to see.

If you have the Time/Life yearly news books check out the volume that deals with 1964. The civil rights movement - which was a revolution on a similar scale of the Trump revolution - was given TWO pages in that year.

TWO. Two pages....

Then the 'flip' happened ...

Also twenty years ago the press was blaming their problems on 'the net'... it wasn't true then - might not true now in the way they define it.

Back then 'Drudge' was pulling in hundreds of thousands of 'eyes' on his content. And when liberal papers would put their content on the net they couldn't sell it... couldn't get people to look at it or pay for it...

MSM was drivel on newsprint AND it was drivel on the flickering screen. Yes, the medium will change to flickering screen... or laptop or tablet or smart phone you're totally right on that... but that's NOT what killed newspapers. What killed newspapers what they saw themselves as 'newspapers' and NOT as content distributors. If they had they could have combined the technologies... So, if democrat thugs don't 'get' Trump there will be a flip within two years. I'll put a dollar on it.
