I haven’t watched TV or Cable news in years. I read a lot, and I’ll watch the occasional clip on the Net, but ALL of it is, generally, crap. They each preach to their choir while in a quest for ratings. From MSNBC to Fox and everything in between they are all useless. People need to stop listening to pundits saying what they (listeners) HOPE is true and get the facts for themselves.
Only to point this out...as the number declines...the networks will eventually reach a point where they discuss the cost of production and maintaining a news network staff. My guess is that one of the big three (ABC, CBS, or NBC)...will come up by 2020 and dump their news team. They might maintain a Hollywood or entertainment team...but that’s mostly because people still watch that.
The writing will be on the wall, and folks will began to ask stupid questions at that point. Why bother having a news team in Europe or Asia? Why bother with a full-time White House reporter? Why run a Sunday morning chat show when it’s less than 500k people that watch it nationwide?
How, exactly, do you do that?
