The logical flaw in Koppel's argument is that the Old Media would not be in a precipitous decline if they gave their audience what it wants.

Instead, Old Media reporters and pundits like Koppel play to their "audience" of company co-workers, pretending to be great propagandists of the past.

Their mission is never perceived to be to report the news but rather to craft a phrase, taint an opponent or omit a fact that will manipulate the public into embracing their left-wing world, company profits be damned.
