re: MSM as dinosaurs
Good point, it would be way too complacent of us to think that just because WE can see and discuss all of the MSM frauds, lies, and biases that their influence is broken. Most of the time 70-90% of the public is completely unaware of each MSM "scandal" or "jihad" against conservatives that has been debunked, refuted, or has simply fizzled out from lack of substance.
Even when a Rush Limbaugh can reach 15-20 million or (sometimes) there is something "fair and balanced" on FoxNews that reaches maybe 2 million viewers, that leaves far more than 150 million US adults who will never hear about it, not even 2nd-hand.
We can be encouraged that the complete monopoloy of the left-liberal MSM has been broken, but they still dominate NBC-CBS-ABC-CNN-PBS-NPR and the 25 largest metro newspapers. They are dinosaurs in intellectual terms, but they are very far from extinction in terms of political and cultural influence.
