FOX News is imploding.
I don’t believe for one minute that any network news or cable news network is worth their collective subscription fees and advertising revenues.
There are too many similarities in overall objectives, narratives and little to no hard hitting or substantive news/investigations being done in American journalism anymore.
I don’t believe it’s at all due to cut budgets, bad journalists or incapable researchers. I believe it’s the fact that the media/political machine is so intertwined and so inbred that they just don’t want to publicize what is well known within their collective universes.
It’s going to take, yet another, startup news source to seriously make a dent in the establishment which, sadly, FOX News is now a part of.
I don’t see it coming from anyone save Breitbart (Which would likely skip the shrinking/dying cable model.) or Newsmax in the US. The Daily Mail in the UK seems capable of challenging the status quo but I don’t know enough about British media to say how likely they are at moving beyond print/digital reporting into video or in depth reporting.
I could write a book on the sad state of American journalism but then again, so could the majority of Americans.
I watch Fox Business News. It was Neil Cavuto’s first day back after surgery yesterday. They appear to be a team there, and a very organized one, starting with Maria, then Varney (Number One in his time s!ot!), now back to Neal, then Trish Reagan, Lou Dobbs. Missing a few. But who doesn’t love Dagan?
