Conservatives would be wise, therefore, to stop whining about the liberal media and start getting in line to replace it – because its days are decidedly numbered.

Amen.

Maybe in the far far future IF it is taken back by force.

I’ve seen some H.R. out there on bailing them out!

I kid you not.

This assumes there won’t be attempts at silencing the conservatives. As we know, there are several movements to do just that. I’m not sure it will work but they will try.

But conservatives should stop fretting. The liberal media is doomed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I’ve been reading this for years. They never seem to die though.

The Mainstream Media just ain’t who they used to be
ain’t who they used to be, ain’t who they used to be..

The fact that gets to me the most, is how tyhe LibMedia allways talking and acting like they are the voice of the young turks of future power....but most of that key grapic has been deserting them and theis Libcrap lie programs at an increasing rate..and guess whose audience numbers are growing for, in that demographic?...It ain’t Crap Matthews & OlberButtmunchs!

I agree with the wishful thinking sentiment.
Barack is their greatest achievement to date.
His is a total creation of the MSM.
The MSM control the talking points, the agenda, and the content.

No, it is not.

As long as the MSM is a major element in the “Progressive’s” push for power, they will find ways to prop it up. If it really starts to collapse, watch for a bailout. Or watch a power hungry billionaire buy it up and operate it a loss, for its influence.

They decide to study journalism in college because they are idealistic and are intrigued by the notion of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. They dream of filing Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reports that do just that.

Aspiring journalists also study journalism for another, more practical, reason.

The J-school curriculum is known to be the easiest at most college campuses. As a consequence, it attracts those students with the lowest SAT and ACT scores.

Fact.

i wonder...how did they get to be where they are?

why do the MSM, “higher” education, and so many other institutions tend left?

THAT’s what needs to be understood and fixed.

These institutions are dying – to be replaced by a more independent, entrepreneurial, small-d democratic model of journalism that is already emerging.

Moveon.org, Democrat Underground and the Huffington Post?

—”But I really like the thought they are DOOMED.”

**(From the article): “That’s why the new media model is tailor-made for the entrepreneurial conservative – the hard-working individual who is willing to bear down, report and sell advertising or sponsorships to capitalize a low-overhead operation. The dinosaur institutions that sheltered liberal journalists, and fostered a culture hostile to conservatives, will be all but gone within five to 10 years.”
++++++++++++

This sounds good to me. For the people that are wondering what’s taking so long - think about the dominance of NBC and CBS in the 1950s. Or how about the NYT? Those old venerable institutions are all but dead. People KNOW how incredibly biased they are. They cannot pretend to be objective news sources any longer.

On another note - I like the idea of enterpreneurs running a lean and mean new outfit - bit it’s a little disconcerting when news groups are biased (even biased to the Conservative side) - but don’t admit it openly. That’s just as bad as the left doing so. Only there are way more lefty journalists.

Which news groups are out there that are the most unbiased (in everyone’s view?)

What do people think of Politico? Or Newsmax (pretty Conservative, but not bad)?
