The print media has long been a virtual monopoly controlled by the left. Oh, there were many, many newspapers but the choice was always between mere varieties of left-wing agitprop.
When people are free to choose the news they read, they overwhelmingly reject the news they were forced to read.
When you really, really step back and look at the Big Picture, you realize that the (Dinosaur Media, State-Run Media, Drive-By Media, etc. - pick one) always only told us what THEY wanted to tell us - or NOT tell us.
What if “And that’s the way it is...” never really was?
