Self-Parody
Following up on Alex McClure’s post about that Pew Poll on the media, I literally laughed out loud while reading the attached (brain dead) account from Will Lester of the Associated Depressed:
Despite growing doubts about the news media’s patriotism, most people still have a positive view of news outlets like their daily newspaper, local TV, network television news and cable news networks, a poll found.
I can’t help but wonder if the phrasing of the first part of that graf was a Freudian slip on Lester’s part.
And you’ve got to love the largely-weekend poll of “adults,” huh?
In any event, I’m not going to bother Fisking that piece of liberal flotsam & jetsam. For one thing, it Fisks itself. Moreover, it would take too much bandwidth. But allow me to throw some factoids out there, mostly because I can’t resist:
1) On a population-adjusted basis, print media has lost 50 percent of its audience — in less than 35 years!
2) The ratings for liberal electronic media programs are in such stunning decline, we’re seeing outright cancellations at the rate of one every few months at this juncture.
3) Many of the people who still are watching those liberal polemics are so old, they won’t be around next week, much less next year, much less in 10 years.
The national liberal media is a satire of itself.
And, believe you me, things will get much, much *worse* for them as time moves on . . .
