Ever since Trump won despite that incredible gauntlet of all the things written and done to literally destroy him, I've been hearing it opined on Fox News that Fake News is dead for killing itself off due to a plunge in network ratings and so forth.
"I'll be back," the Terminator said. Evil never quits.

What I find astonishing is the change in the nature and audience of the news media. Of course, I knew the world was rife with changed, but not to what
EXTENT. When I was growing up the newspapers and TV/radio WERE the news. Who didn't watch the Huntley-Brinkley Report? To think that now the average (median) age of those who watch the network news shows is 69! That that since the 2020 election, CNN lost half its audience! Forty percent of those 18-29 get MOST of their news from Tik Tok? Complex questions: Are these sweeping changes indicative of the health of a (semi-) free media marketplace? Are they good for US--for getting our messages across?

Such is the DNA of the Worst and least qualified that infest the worlds Kakistocracies, the exact opposite of what America was meant to impart upon the Human race.

nice reading. thank you for sharing

Good article. I've seen it predicted that the MSM is DOA after this, since a) their viewers can almost be counted on one hand and b) they influenced very few people to vote against Trump.

In 2016, there was more of a push to vote against Trump than a push to vote for Shrillary; but the pro-Hildabeast ads were there. But in 2024, it seemed to me like there were a hundred ads to tell you NOT to vote for Trump for every one ad that asked you to vote FOR Harris. They had a literal laundry list of bad things Trump would do if he was Prez, but very, very few good things Harris would do.

Between '16 and '20, I didn't think the MSM could move any farther to the left. But '24 proved me wrong.
