Americans have lost trust in the corporate media, and now the question becomes: Is that forever?
CBS News is being renovated like an old barn. The progressive journalists and management, which held power for years, are being replaced by more moderate personnel. 60 Minutes, in particular, will be almost totally revamped.
Another question is: will that bring more viewers to CBS News? Not likely, in my opinion. Younger Americans have almost completely walked away from TV news as well as newspapers. The average age for cable news watchers is around 70 years old.
Hello, pharmaceutical ads. Have you ever seen people happier for having diabetes? They even have a special dance going on.
Anyway, even if viewers don’t flock back, it is worth at least trying to report accurately on television. Right? Just for the sake of honesty.
Here’s hoping it happens across the board.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
