Because it isn’t news, it is all propaganda to control people.

We used to watch Fox every night… until they called AZ with less than 3% reported.

Not since then.

Don’t forget that part of what the propaganda news does are not lies, they just do not report things that don’t back up the leftist agenda.

The day of TV and cable news is about gone and it is being taken out by themselves.

--- "Sharp decline in appetite for news in recent years, Reuters Institute says"

Translation: Reuters finds they are losing their audience / customers / influence / market.

Appetite? What an interesting choice of word for a title. The BBC itself is losing its share, and calls for taking away the tax subsidy in the UK is growing. Imagine their "privilege" having to actually compete for market share? Unfair!

The site also had a pop-up offering a "free" subscription. Give it away, and few people want it? Now that's a loss of "appetite."

Sad Reuters. Sad BBC. Sad Oxford..... Happy non-subscribers.

Funny how my appetite for bullshit has declined to zero as I’ve gotten older.

The ‘news’ agencies/sources, are not putting out news, but junk, and most of that junk is leftist garbage.

When the news is about advocacy of policies, mostly left, then, people tend to tune out, and they’ve done what as witnessed by the trend of the last20 or so years where people have left the left-leaning CNN and MSNBC and made FOX news the most watched for more than 20 years. FOX seems to be going in the opposite direction of what brought them their high ratings, and now they too are losing viewers because it’s going for the same garbage that made CNN and MSNBC lose viewers.

Recognizing the loss of readers or viewers, and noticing that people are tuning out the news, is not a recipe for changing at the news sources, since what they’ve been doing is doubling-down on producing the same garbage.

Most people just want the headline and a few sentences, without going into detail. And that’s what they’ll usually get via their updates on their phone, so there’s no need to get news from TV.

It indicates a sharp decline in the people’s appetite for lies and propaganda.

I think they meant to say “sharp decline in interest in propaganda”.

A very good sign.

The corporate media pretend to present the “news”, the American people pretend to consume it. Such is life in the Socialist States of America.

It has come to be that as we progressed from”the evening news at 5” as we gathered our dinner on our tv tray and seated ourselves on the sofa, to where “ the news” has come to mimic a “soap operas”, where you can come back to “the news” at a later date, and still keep up with the storyline.

It is all made up crap to push a political position, and they can’t figure out why people do not care to watch or listen any more.

These people truly are idiots and morons.

Nah. It's probably just a decline in people accessing news from Big Media. From alternative sources, I bet there's an increase.

On local radio here in Phoenix this morning , they were talking about the coverage of the Trump indictment coverage compared to coverage of the evidence of corruption surrounding the Biden Crime Syndicate.

291 minutes of the indictment.

0 minutes of the evidence of corruption.

THIS is why there is not a larger demand for the removal of this clown.

The media is Public Enemy #1.

Plus, if they do report on what is happening, it’s bad news.

No news is better than always only bad news.
