My viewing of the news evolved over several decades.
I really enjoyed 60 minutes, then realized they promoted a false narrative (modern phrase meaning they spoke with forked tongue)
O’keefe had the moment I saw him dressed like Huggy Bear the pimp!
No sadly they are down but not out. In a few months the media will regroup and be right back at it.
Here’s the video of what you just read. He’s a great presenter and also the crowd reaction is exhilarating:

Maybe it has been struck a mortal blow, and is in the process of dying but it is still capable of spinning lies and causing damage.
Personally I think it is more like the Hydra- a few heads have been lopped off but more are growing out. It doesn’t take much money to start a new fauxnews service on the internet and the left has lots and lots of money. A lie is halfway around the world before the truth while the truth is putting on its shoes.
With Millenials and younger, it’s GONE. They don’t even own TV’s. It’s Netflix and whatever online streaming is next.
I’m hardly a Millennial but I haven’t had a TV ever. We had one at home when I was a kid. On visits to my parents’ house, I would find that the content had deteriorated visibly since my last visit. They couldn’t see it because it was gradual.
It is the older folks who are addicted, with their “favorite shows,” etc. And of course the news. They have the TV on constantly, even when no one is watching. Whoever called it the modern “hearth” was dead on. The place doesn’t seem alive unless the TV is on. How sick is that?
