The decline began long before a couple of decades ago...
Internet killed the video star.
“The Obama campaign marked a decisive turning point in the media’s shift from a bias to a narrative.”
Obama doesn’t get enough blame for how he wrecked America. It’s all his fault.

The media became cheerleaders for the Left with JFK. It’s been downhill for over 60 years.
Greenfield has said nothing about the censorship of dissenting voices on the Covid jab (or about big pharma’s influence on the misleadia, through its advertising dollars).
The “media” killed itself when it became the main tentacle of the DNC. It ran their 2024 “election” and now the low life morons are running the RAT Resistance Hate show. One hate article after another. The “media” is nothing but hate, hate, hate. Hate America, hate women, hate Caucasians, hate parents, hate Christians, hate Americans who don’t hold the DNC’s evil core values, hate female athletes, hate the U.S. taxpayers. Hate, Hate, Hate.
Finally, a quite successful businessman came along and decided to run for President in 2016 while consistently telling the American public about the “lying” media (MSM). Then, an African - American bought TWITTER!!
I had dropped my subscriptions to Time, Newsweek, and the Boston Globe by 1991, long before the internet was a force. The reason was not so much political slant, but the utterly insipid tone and style.
They had become boring scolds.
It’s only gotten worse. They are unreadable and uninteresting.
They took the easy government money. They started in the 1950’s with mockingbird, they got them all on the government tit. They became dependent on the government, started to parrot what they were told. Then comes Obama, and the media is silent on his past, his birth certificate, his mom’s job and employment, his family, and his personal past.
Next it lies about a disease called COVID, says it came from bat soup. The lied about a demented man, whose signature via auto pen was used by unelected people to rob the treasury and murder citizens.
The media needs to go after the story, even the one about them lying to the public for government money. Then, and only then, can they recover.
Disagree. The media starting changing the story long before twenty years ago. This has been going on for our country’s life anyway involving us. The only difference is that the presentation now is far more saturated and thus reaches many more people with their opinions based upon agendas rather than the facts.

The Viet Cong credited Walter Cronkite’s reporting for encouraging them to hold on even while they were losing. They knew he was eroding domestic support for the US Military actions.
I remember Rather Dan, the night of *Crinton’s big win, blurt out, “We now take you to the spin room...” I knew then.
The habit of Reading three newspapers a day from elementary school age on died in the 90s, killed by the uselessness of the papers themselves.
The media went from being biased in how the reported the news (note that they REPORTED on ACTUAL NEWS) to trying to shape “the news”. More than ever they decided what even was news and tried to craft narratives rather than talk about the events that were happening organically.
They did this at precisely the time the internet dramatically lowered barriers to entry in the form of podcasts, YouTube and Rumble channels, etc. Now suddenly a much more broad array of voices could be heard - including international ones. Now significant events that were very inconvenient because they undercut the narrative could not be ignored. People compared and contrasted this with what they were seeing on TV and realized the corporate media was just propaganda....that is especially so as the corporate media got literally everything wrong. Every “conspiracy theory” turned out to be true. For years.
Great article,
Good Night Chet. Good Night David.
And Good Night to NBC News.
For Ever, Good Night. To all of you.
MSM Propagandists. CIA and MI6 Agents Provocateur.
You Blew it, you Lying Liars.
The Fourth Estate has become the Fifth Column. Promoting lies, deception, Marxism, moral degradation - awful.
This is why Get Rid of The TV.
Get It Out of The House.
Protect your brain and thoughts from these people.
I once told the editor of a local newspaper, that when I subscribed to his paper everyday I used to read the front page, the editorials and the comics. I quit subscribing when most days I couldn’t tell much difference between these sections.
