The traditional hard copy press is going out of business fast. This year even the Washington Post hit the skids hard ~ Kaplan revenues were down, and they own the Post.

Then, the broadcast networks have a major problem ~ nobody watches. The cable network shows also have a major problem since TV broadcasting channel usage is way up. We used to have just 17 broadcast stations we could reach, and now we get over 50 channels from them.

There's plenty of room for folks creating new content, but there's little room for new journalists since no one is going to pay them.

Only the immature watch TV “news”, the real adults would rather watch science fiction, at least some part of Sci-Fi is believable.

I agree with everything that you said except for one. The media still seems to be able to indoctrinate low intelligence voters with their propaganda. There is no doubt that they are dying but much like a wounded Tiger... they are far more dangerous and desperate because of it.
