Establishment Media Outlets Crash Without Donald Trump in the White House
Breitbart ^ | 27 Dec 2021 | SIMON KENT

No Donald Trump in the White House to drive the news cycle means establishment media outlets are being abandoned, 2021 year-end figures released Monday reveal, as multinational corporate control of America’s news is rejected by the very audiences it seeks to engage.

AP reports cable news networks were the main form of evening entertainment for millions of Americans last year. Now those legacy television outlets, alongside digital and print news organizations are suffering in a post-Trump world. Big time.

In 2021, weekday prime-time viewership dropped 38 percent at CNN, 34 percent at Fox News Channel and 25 percent at MSNBC, according to the Nielsen company.

This loss was despite mass lockdowns and more people being forced to stay at home and seek their news from established sources, all while the passage of time keeps showing Trump was ahead of his critics on a host of contentious issues.

They are all getting the same message from a single source. There is no real need for new investigators or research teams.

Yeah, the puppeteers behind the scenes.
I've been seeing the term "Mockingbird Media" or variants thereof popping up more frequently, and from some people that have surprised me would view it that way.

Most people don't like being lied to, imho.

But just wait until Kamala Harris’ first 100 days. Viewers will soon be riveted to their TVs for news coverage. Kamala is “Historic”, remember?

I think it is because the media went full retard rather than missing Trump.

Yes and no. They targeted President Trump as part of their strategy of squelching actual news and instead spreading propaganda. Now that they don't have a fake target for fake news, they have no news at all.

Can't sell even a fake news story about Jao Bai-din and try to compete with alternate news sources.

But so many millions aren't honest enough even with themselves to admit they've been lied to.

See Tagline.

Complaining about the government is always valid.

Listening to a group of Bagdad Bob’s defend stupidity is not.

Because Trump was bigger than the office. Now we have a feeble corrupt demented man hiding in his various ill gotten palaces.
