“What’s interesting to me is that as the MSM has diminished in size, it’s gone farther and farther left.”
I think this can be like the chicken and the egg.....ergo, I believe because the MSM has drifted steadily to the left it has diminished in size due its bias.
Interesting thesis, but I think they’ve been overrun by technology.
I’m old enough to remember life with 4 tv stations, a daily newspaper, and maybe a weekly USN&WR.
Now it’s 300 cable channels, and a million websites.
The ‘old’ press has lurched far to the left, and this is one great cause of its demise. Who will pay to be propagandized? I will not. Plus, we have the truly Free Press in the blogs, Free Republic, etc. There are writers who are actually interested in discovering and revealing the Truth and who do not have to answer to money/ advertisers.
The Real Press is freer than it has been in many a decade, and it is thriving in this freedom. And our country will thrive for this very reason.
