It won’t be, of course. I wish I’d never read another word about the “dying” “dinosaur” media. Their big mainstream organs still set the agenda for most people to get their information, and they know it. All they’d have to do would be to knock Fox out, such as it is, in some way (takeover, from inside or out, open or invidious), and all we’d have left would be relatively small and parochial outlets for getting our perspective out. What would remain that’s even fairly mainstream? Maybe Breitbart? And the EU is trying to make it off-limits.
Of course.
In a case of historical symmetry Americans who know The Times and its ilk won’t tell the truth will mirror Soviet citizens who knew that Pravda wouldn’t tell the truth, and listened to VOA, RT is looking a LOT more credible than our own sour sources.
Dammit.
