The MSM is a dead institution wlaking.
I don't feel quite so sanguine as you. A portion of the people have tuned out with respect to the MSM, but I doubt if it's half. Some of the MSM outlets have recently taken a hit (NYTimes, CBS). But CNN, Time, Newsweek? Are they biased? Yes indeed. Are they trusted? Yes, dammit. And my original point, that if Justice goes after Rockefeller and Durbin, the media would have a hissy-fit, still stands.
