The Wikileaks revelations prove that if any outlets are peddling fake news, it's WaPo, NYTimes, ABC, CBS, NBC.
And yet the content of the leaked emails is TOTALLY ignored.
Well, if you were them you would try to ignore it as well. I hope Trump ( and the GOP) just tells the media, no. We aren't dealing with you. Clear out the west wing. From now on you get your information from FIOA and from the website. Seriously, what do these people have to offer in the internet age? Their paper publications are dying. If I hit a pay wall or forced registration i just move on. You think your words are so valuable I have to read them? No. the sane facts will be picked up and run elsewhere-- even if it is just in a face book recounting of that news. The media doesn't research or report on anything tat might conflict with their world view, and while I am sure they will investigate the hell out of Trump, with the ideological goal of taking him down , that is all the more reason to restrict their access.
Cable news viewers were falling till the election.
http://www.journalism.org/2016/06/15/cable-news-fact-sheet/ and on-demand viewing is way way up. More and more TVS are produced with built in access to Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and others, and the NFL let their players stab then in the foot- sports being the last reason most people still have cable TV at all. And you can bet someone will get the contract to stream those games and then the Cable bundle will be over and done for. The internet continues to make MSM obsolete. Drudge - who produces none of his own content - and Drudge-like sites will dominate. And everyone will get revenue only from the eyeballs on ads. ( And Google etc don't want to have their ads hosted on those sites, okay dokey. You just opened up a market for someone else dumbasses -)
This is just a last ditch attempt to hold on to the eyeballs of the very dumbest people. The low information voter. The rube. And they will probably succeed. But we don't have to help them, and hopefully Trump won't.
