I agree - print and television will not ever recover... not in the sense of getting back to what it was [omnipresent and powerful.]

They probably don’t even know how to be unbiased in reporting. So, they don’t know how to present facts to the public in a way that avoids distrust.

My hope is that any remaining media refrains from making the same mistake - either as a revenge motive or out of ignorance.

Successful media will tell the truth in an unbiased manner. JMHO

It seems that they, like political parties, are destined or determined to move leftward.

FoxNews Channel of 15 years ago is not the FoxNews Channel of today. They have 'quit dancing with the ones who brought them this far' by becoming another version of CNN/MSNBC. Just like the Dem and Pubbie parties are not the parties of JFK or Reagan.

There is something -- maybe the water, more likely the bank accounts -- that cause institutions to move to the left.

Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and it was a somewhat reliable source, early '80's, the USA Today reported every week the ratings for TV shows and Network Evening News ratings. The ratings for each network Evening News program was around 15 million viewers.

Now their viewers are around 15 million...TOTAL!

Network news programs are headed in the same direction as the afternoon newspapers.

Just as TV doomed those newspapers with an evening news program, the Networks are doomed by the internet.

N. Theknow...proud sponsor/donor of FR on a monthly basis.

How about you?

It is not about recovery. The press has always been biased. But pre-tv/radio there was more competition to keep them honest. Most towns had more than one newspaper.

Today, the Left media behaves like a cartel. There is limited competition and they control the message. The alphabets get a total 20 million viewers for the evening news. Nobody else comes close.

Create the opportunity for more competition by stop funding the Left media cartel.

Stop buying national brands, buy local, generic only
Stop eating at national chain restaurants, eat at local, family owned restaurants
Cut your cable tv, the Left media cartel gets a check even if you do not watch their channels. They are all in the basic bundle and get a subscriber fee.
