I believe they are getting less powerful everyday. What did Newsweak sell for recently?
Newsweek is a magazine, none of which are doing well.
More people get their news from TV than anywhere else. For example about 22 million people watch the networks evening news. Nothing else comes close, certainly not the few million who watch Fox. Most newspapers are also liberal.
Make no mistake, the MSM is just as powerful now as when they helped push Obama down our throats and they will put everything into doing it again.
Sorry to see Huck go. The main purpose of is entrance into the last election was to stop Romney. Thanks to his entrance into the race, Huck pulled it off and he did, indeed, stopped Romney, giving us McCain.
