The purge is working at the top and the newbies don’t listen to political news. The turnover rate at the bottom is very high. I doubt the youngest watch the news at all.
civilian...”Across all three platforms, there is a very large gap between the heaviest news consumers and everyone else. The top third of network news viewers in terms of time spent, for example, average almost 32 minutes a day watching network news. The next third spends about one-sixth as much time, or five minutes, watching network news.”

I am a seventy year old Navy vet and I hardly watch network news at all any longer. It all seems so biased, even Fox seems to go out of the way not to offend the left now. It is astounding that we are afraid to offend those we condemned a few years ago.
