These kinds of articles, and the one-sided power of the MSM, are two reasons why it’s premature to announce the death of the MSM. They haven’t died, and the total ascension to power of the left, has just given them a new lease on life. The right has nothing as far-reaching to counter it, and Fox News is a joke now.

Sadly, conservatives enable the MSM by continuing subscriptions, watching their programming (if only to yell at the screen) and propping it up. Most of us do it, maybe even you. Hit them with the wallet - cancel any and all subscriptions, turn off the tube and they will get the point. They simply can NOT stay in business without our support...
They hated Romney, got rid of him. They made a parody out of Fred Thompson. They trashed Sarah Palin. Turned Maverick McCain into a crazy old man.
As for FOX, I don't know what's going on over there.
Did you read Ailes had a talk with O'Reilly and Hannity to back off Obama?
I think this must be true-- otherwise, I'm pretty sure Hannity would have mocked this relentlessly. The fact that he's silent on it tells me there is a graint of truth in the report.
He used to work in our office. Definitely a genius class programmer, at the time I recalled that he hated the New York Times.
Although the NYT had a spotless financial record 21 years ago, the programmed trades SOLD every share of NYT in private hands.
Guess what happened this time? Few weeks ago a "computer program" rated NYT bonds at the "junk bond" level.
Coincidence?
Or maybe I should be laughing.
