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.

Was interested to see that report about a new version of the Washington Star.  Probably be run by some psycho oligarch but, maybe it will be centerist and aimed at the workforce of DC metro not the Newsmax audience.
