The continued demise of MSM has nothing to do with the current political situation, even though left wing echo chambers such as hn will blame it on that.
It began when they lost their revenue source of selling physical newspapers and were forced to rely on ad-revenue, which didn’t cover costs. This allowed leftist billionaires to take over major media outlets and weaponize it to support their agendas and political views. Hence the constant seething hatred of any non-left-leaning viewpoint on the news, blatant attempts to help Kamala look good while making Trump look bad during the election, non-coverage of things that make the left look bad. This is why Trump calls it “fake news” and why Elon bought Twitter.
It blows my mind how out of touch the left is with the current state of media censorship and corruption.

- burner999888 2y agoWrong. Newscorp accounts for < 20% of all major news coverage. Turn on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, Bloomberg, etc right now and there’ll be some “Omg look what Trump did now!” type segment on. Straight up propaganda with extreme bias. e.g. They literally edited a Kamala interview response on 60 Minutes bc she sounded like a moron. Endless examples like that if you take an objective look. The whole “Fox News Bad!” argument has been outdated since George W left office.
