More broadly, one network executive told features writer Charlotte Klein, "It's going to change everything" if Trump wins. The exec said it could signify the complete failure of the news industry.
"If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they're not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form," they said.

The Undead need to be staked.
Oh and vampires too.
“If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely.”
The arrogance in that statement is breathtaking. Talk about saying the quiet part out loud!
I remember back in 1972, almost every single celebrity was for McGovern, well we know how that election turned out.
If Trump wins, it means the Mediacracy is dead.
Ha! How blind can she be?
Thought it was Babylon Bee.
So hard to do satire anymore.
“Pauline Kael famously commented, after the 1972 Presidential election, ‘I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.’”
They’ve been getting away with it for a LONG time. Then along comes Joe ‘David’ Rogan, with his sling and five smooth stones...
The news about their death is greatly exaggerated... Many people are still watching their programs, albeit at much lower than before. They will probably die in the 2032 election
Oh, it won’t be as bad as all that. I’m sure there will be printing presses...in the camps...
The above (actual headline from today) is simply not indicative of a role conservative American citizenry needs or wants from media.
It may be what those who watch "The View" will tune in, but it's not for those who desire even a slightly more sophisticated media diet.
Convince our intellects with important evidence, facts, and reasoning. Don't attempt to have us adopt your reflexes as if we're vessels as empty as Kamala!
OTOH, the current MSM deserves simply to go bankrupt tomorrow for their having gaslit and propagandized us for so many decades.
So, these TV execs are admitting that they are trying to influence the election.
Well, this is a good news day.
As Rush always said if the media didn’t build you they can’t break you
“ The exec said it could signify the complete failure of the news industry.”
Telling.
He says what we all know. Their purpose isn’t news but political activism.
It’s a fraudulent industry.
I suppose it never occurs to these idiots that their problems started when they decided to throw themselves in the tank for the dems. Somewhere along the line they decided to become a propaganda ministry/PR department for the DNC.
Now he notices?
Maybe if they were objective journalists, just reporting on the events of the day and not trying to influence the public, they might be trusted. They have a long way to go to earn that trust back again.
That it took this long for lame stream media to realize their irrelevancy
demonstrates a complete lack of situational awareness.
IT’s dead Jim.
