I'm close to 59 and I've been studying media since I was about 14, for longer than you have been alive.
We basically agree on all of this, but please do not underestimate the continuing negative influence of the old media. If everyone felt like you, there would be no folks like Brent Bozell and others around to help expose their prevariacations.
You must sound the alarm, NOT find your warm happiness in the false thoughts that the old media is dying, irrelevant or dead. They still make things happen and they need to be snuffed once and for all.
Take care.

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

I couldn't agree more.
"We basically agree on all of this,"
I agree that we agree.

I won't ask you to, but if you reviewed my posts on this site you will see that I am very active in "sounding the alarm". I hate the media. The mainstream media has easily replaced lawyers as the most damaging influence in this nation. But I completely disagree that the media is winning or even gaining in this battle. They are clearly losing. The war isn't over yet, but we are witnessing the most positive steps in the right direction in decades. The internet has removed the media monopoly on information dissemination. And once they are exposed for what they are, they will NEVER recover the influence they once had.
