Downfall of TV News
December 11, 2025
The media in America is undergoing profound changes, and I will submit to you that most folks don’t care at all.  That’s because hating or loving President Trump has literally destroyed press credibility in this country and overseas as well.

Hello, BBC.

I make my living absorbing and analyzing information, but I cannot trust television news in particular.  It used to be that I would turn on the morning network and cable programs.  Now the TV set stays dark.  I learn nothing from the early-rising talking heads.  Nada.

They are either parroting ideological newspapers or doing ten minutes of weather.  Total waste of my time.

It’s not much better in the evening. The network anchors use similar scripts and make no attempt to provide any perspective whatsoever. The guy on ABC News, for example, says the word “tonight” dozens of times throughout the broadcast.

We get it, David Muir.  You’re on at 6:30. Geez.

Ratings for all news broadcasts are cratering.  The internet now dominates information flow. TV news is essentially boring.

No spin. See you later for real news.
