The principle problem with legacy media is widespread adoption of smartphones changed the advertising business to be unfavorable to investigative journalism. Running investigative stories takes a lot of time and is prohibitively expensive when the advertising business shifts to favor quantity over quality.
Right or wrong, the legacy media has not be able to adapt to social media. They've also largely given up doing the kind of investigative work that makes them competitive for the same brands advertising on Instagram, X, and TikTok.
CNN+ didn't even last 30 days before they gave up.
Fox News was actually holding Tucker Carlson's viewership back significantly.
You haven't made any attempt to address the point being made, yet continue to propagate a crock of shit that reminds me of what George Orwell once wrote:
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
- bigfudge 3y agoI’m not clear what you’re accusing me of propagating. Perhaps you think it’s a lie that x is on the slide? That may be true, although the ad numbers and recent revaluations by stock holders seem to suggest it’s not. In any case, you are describing problems -for- mainstream media, not the problems posed to society by narrow corporate ownership of mainstream media. Those problems predate the internet.
