Flip-cam and a broadband connection = instant TV reporter.

If ABC was smart they’d just shut it all down and contract with Fox News for content. They’d pop up to #1 in < 1 year I’ll bet.

If the existing “news” organizations returned to real journalism instead of acting as naive cheerleaders for the socialist agenda ,they would have millions more viewers and readers .

What they need to ask themselves is: Why should people tune into ABC News? What distinguishes it?

Exactly.

I’ve always thought that the first nightly news that allows Rush Limbaugh to do a 2 minute editorial once a week will lead the ratings.

But they could do anything to distinguish themselves.

I want to see what happens when stations start dumping the network news in favor of more local news. I’m sure there will be a push to make it happen.

The Leftist propagandist tell us what they think we should hear. The percentage of people tired of listening to the same old dead drum beat ignore them and find other sources of news and entertainment. The Left ignores this fact and refuses to change with the times resulting in what we see today.

I encourage any Leftists propagandists reading this to please continue this trend and simply drive yourself out of business.

All those reporters really are an unecessary expense.

All they really need are a couple of fax machines to get the DNC and White House daily talking points and then some talking heads to tell the rest of us.

ABC and its brethren are merely the early form of insultainment. Today we have the freedom and depth of the internet and blogs. Why bother being insulted when you can practice the high art of elitism yourself? Once you have partaken of the art you quickly realize its very easy to do and requires no special education or talent. What a disappointment TV has turned out to be. A wonderful vehicle full of promise turns out to be nothing more than an idiot’s mirror. For proof of my claim I introduce Dan Rather. Need I say more?

You don’t need all that staff when you just read White House press releases and Democrat caucus talking points.

It’s not like they’re an actual news outlet.
