Oh, I don't know if the MSM is dying. They are becoming more hideous and transparent, but let's face it; Americans are, well, naive let us say. Many Americans think that Brokjaw and crew actually have their interests at heart, and they will watch their Orwellian news collages every night. The more sapient will move on to the Internet and talk radio, filtering out the absurd, insane and unspeakable as they move along. Let us just say that the MSM is anemic. Where they will find the needed B12, I don't know. Maybe they will mongrelize their shows with "conservative" guests ...
You are right. The media is more dangerous than ever. These are true believers, ideologues, communists with a small c. They are the equivalent of the children Hitler used to defend the ashes of Berlin. They will not give up their megaphones easily.
