Media Meltdown and also Media Bias 101

[CMRivdogs]

A bittersweet Friday night. CBS Radio News is signing off after 99 years. For many years growing up and into my adult years top of the hour CBS news was a staple in my life...and as I entered adult hood, I had the privilege of working for a station that carried the network.

My wife had the privilege of managing news departments of CBS owned stations in Chicago and Detroit (both all newsers) as well as Norfolk, Va. I had an ancillary role as a traffic reporter for Chicago's All News station for several years.

The media landscape has changed over the last 50 years, but I will be raising a glass of ginger ale to what was once the gold standard

I promise you if Agent Orange weren't in charge, CBS Radio News would not be shuttering its doors.

They sold off their radio stations a few years ago. With fewer radio stations, outside of Trumpservative talkers carrying any sort of network news, the move was probably inevitable.
