Over the last decade news media figured out that the US consumer doesn't want to make their own judgements concerning the news. The consumer wants to be sold both news and it's meaning.
CNN was the first to capitalize on this. Fox News was the first one to actually provide a full package by creating news specifically for the Republican viewer. This was a brilian move by Muchdoch allowing Fox to tap into an enourmous audience.
The problem is that instead of being smart and drawing on the other major segment of the populous: the Democrat viewers; all the other news medial outlets just tried to make themselves a clone of Fox.
The democrat autdience still doesnt have it's own propoganda machine. Despite what some people may think. There is a differnece between bias reporting and the full blown subordinate relationship Fox shares with the current administration.
Yet I am not here to state that lefties need their own media outlet. We need real news back. New that reports and allows the viewer to make up their own minds. Unfortunately the only way this change will happen is if the consumer body wants it to happen. Which isn't very likelly.
Thats my take on it.
