The difference from 30-35 years ago is that the GOP's conservative base, rather than sneering at and talking back to Walter Cronkite or Eric Severeid, mostly ignores their successors. What is more, the moderate middle is slowly shrinking. The South, lower Midwest, and Rocky Mountain States, except where minorities or transplanted Northeasterners or Californians hold sway, are increasingly Republican. The Northeast and Middle Atlantic region, except maybe Pennsylvania, and the West Coast are becoming solidly Democratic. The apolitical among us have numerous media channels that enable them to avoid watching the MSM news. Even the hard core left has what they call the indy media, to counteract what they consider to be the corporate media like the old three networks, Fox, CNN, and the major newspapers and news magazines.
Hopefully, the next Republican administration will realize that the MSM are paper tigers.

Many thanks, jigsaw! There's already a book in my past, an anti-terrorism thriller. But though in attracted an agent, no publishing deal was landed. But I plan to try again. I'd be curious to know what you would find more appealing from me - fiction or non-fiction?
GREAT POINT!! I wish I had remembered that when writing the original piece, but will go back and add it!
Try the veel.
I would imagine if you watch her you are going to want to wash out your eyes, ears, mouth and the nether regions (and I'm not taking about Holland).
