Hopefully it will kill network news as well.

Due to circumstances beyond my control a couple of years ago I had to watch the CBS Evening News every night for a week. The most striking thing was not the biased coverage, that was to be expected. It was the fact that almost every commercial was for a prescription drug. The audience for these broadcasts is old and passing away.

“The audience for these broadcasts is old and passing away.”

most in nursing homes or headed that way, still coasting along from their habits from the 1950’s, religiously reading a daily newspaper and watching network nightly news ... and NOT being replaced by younger generations ...

Our local Oldies radio station is doing the same. thirty Forty years ago they were playing big band songs from the 1930s and 1940s. Now they are playing songs from the 1960s and 1970s.

My 80 + year old Aunt has CNN on at her home 24/7. She hates Trump and believes everything spewed out.
