It’s been a difficult year for the Fake News Media and according to this item from Yahoo news, things are getting no better. The Elite Media Monoculture continues to learn nothing and they are befuddled as to the cause of their downfall. But the answer is simple. They do not accept that the public no longer sees them as the fount of all wisdom and knowledge. The narrative that they foist on us is now recognized for what it is; a means to manipulate and control. And since the truth is available elsewhere, that’s where people are going.
The consultancy Challenger Gray & Christmas reported this week that media companies, which include movies, television, publishing, music, and broadcast and print news, announced plans to cut 15,474 jobs so far this year, of which 11,878 of which were from news organizations.
That is nearly three times more than the 4,062 cuts announced in the media sector in 2017 and the highest total since the economic crisis in 2009.
“Members of the media, especially journalists, have had a tough few years,” said Andrew Challenger, vice president of the Chicago-based firm.
He added that subscription-based models will only work if news organizations can convince consumers of the importance and value of their news.
And that is really the crux of the biscuit. If you are selling crap, and people know that it’s crap, it will not be possible for you to continue selling said crap to anyone, especially if they can get the real thing from someone else.
