Death Throes: The Mainstream Media Is Hanging By A Thread

Activist Post

As the May ratings for the 4 major news networks come in, it’s never been more apparent that the mainstream media is in its death throes. According to a recent article from Politico, Fox News is faced with its lowest numbers in over a decade. While the networks continue to maintain enough viewers to stay afloat, they have absolutely failed to attain the younger demographic. Another key factor coming from May ratings is just how old Fox News viewers are. Take for example, Bill O’Reilly’s show…O’Reilly had his lowest month since 2001 in the key demo, with 308,000 viewers. Yes, O’Reilly is still the No. 1 program in cable news in both total and demo viewers, averaging 2,136,000 total viewers in May. But the majority of those viewers are over the age of 55. In fact, the median age for O’Reilly is now just over 72 years old. The average Fox News viewer overall is 68.8, while the average ages of MSNBC and CNN viewers were 62.5 and 62.8, respectively. Simply put, the largest news networks are hemorrhaging viewers, and most of what’s left are now senior citizens. If any institution is going to survive, it of course needs younger adherents. And this is not an abnormal year.

Breitbart reported an almost identical story two years ago for the month of May. This is a clear and long-term trend of decline. And it isn’t just television news of course. Print media is likely on its way out as well, with only about a quarter of the population saying they have confidence in newspapers. 152 newspapers were shutdown in 2011 alone. Though I couldn’t find any more recent data, I suspect last year wasn’t much better.

Honestly, it’s an exciting trend to me. The mainstream media has failed to inform us on so many levels. You can pick any day or week of the year, and observe the most trending news items littering our television screens. What you’ll find is a news media that desperately holds onto any celebrity gossip for days on end, and lies through its teeth at every opportunity. Look at what they did this week. They failed to report on the possibly earth-shaking events that could unfold from a yearly meeting of the most powerful and influential people on earth. If they can’t do that, then what are they good for? The lies are the most telling of all. For most of my life, I was told that the media is only concerned about ratings. “If it bleeds it leads” or something to that effect. I was led to believe that a news organization would do anything for ratings, but perhaps that isn’t exactly so. If all they cared about was being seen and heard, why are their ratings in the toilet?

If you’re reading this right now, you probably already know. There’s a good chance you’ve at least partially abandoned television and print media. You know deep down that it can’t be trusted. You know it’s not just about ratings. If numbers were all that a multi-billion dollar industry needed to survive, they could do it. It’s not that hard. Just tell the truth. The world is a baffling and complicated place, teeming with mystery and beauty. We’re on a rock hurdling through space with billions of people living on its surface, and not one of them is identical to another. The world is an unlimited tap of incredible technological advances, political intrigue, wild natural phenomena, and an endless parade creative and courageous people. The truth of our world is filled with awe and wonder. They could get all the ratings they could possibly dream of, if they just told the truth. And, yet, from the school textbooks of our formative years, to the talking heads of our adult lives, every source of mainstream information appears to be a sanitized version of the truth, or even an outright lie.

“When I was at CNN a decade ago, it was glistening,” Now, he said, “it looks like Hitler’s bunker….torn-up carpet, feces all over the wall and on the floor in the bathroom. It’s rotting. Folks, I’ve been in those exact rooms,” he added. “It literally looked like a gas station bathroom in the worst part of town. It was rotting and those people were in hell. It’s a skeleton of what it was, it’s a globalist operation and they’re nothing.”
For their sake, I hope he’s exaggerating. As for me, I have a pretty bad case of schadenfreude. This tired old media, this purveyor of a false reality, is a dead man walking.

1. Ha ha kick so the real nooze becomes known, they are losing!

[tk2kewl]

2. bullshit info-tainment... echo chamber nonsense... political flacks...

that is pretty much what's left of teevee "journalism" in this country. newspapers aren't much better.

[AlinPA]

26. "journalism" indeed. The quotation marks are well placed.

[titanicdave]

31. Exactly......it is a shame

that the average TV viewer gets more in depth news and information from Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert......and they present it as comedy when it is actually the truth....

[840high]

44. I get my info from

BBC and Christian Science Monitor.

[blue neen]

3. This says it all:

"The truth of our world is filled with awe and wonder. They could get all the ratings they could possibly dream of, if they just told the truth."

[tk2kewl]

15. not their game

hiding the truth is more important than ratings

[Katashi_itto]

4. They wish to be mouthpieces for the corporate establishment. Let corporations maintain them.

I get my news elsewhere.

[TheNutcracker]

5. My brother calls it "Angertainment"

So true...now can we kick to the greatest so many more will see this? Thanks!

[hatrack]

83. Boom - in a nutshell

[TheNutcracker]

6. Thanks! By the end of the day they'll know they're dead! HA!

[TheNutcracker]

7. I know we have OUR shows too! But that is not news. It's "angertainment"

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. Bullshit from a guy trying to sell you gold and silver

Take a look at "The Daily Sheeple". Right wing nonsense, trying to sell gold and silver (it's in their heading) and survivalist gear. And "Activist Post" is full of bollocks too: 'Obamacare: watch out, here comes “predictive modeling”', 'Do the government and its ancillaries have ownership over your child?', a puff piece for the anti-vaccine nutter who was on The Daily Show, and a blog roll with 'Rense', ;Before It's News', 'Infowars', 'Lew Rockwell' and many more right wing nutcases.

[starroute]

14. He may have an agenda -- but can you deny his basic points?

TV news is aging and contracting. Newspapers are dying or being bought up by out-of-town conglomerates that no loner cover local stories. The American networks and papers of record are no longer bothering to maintain overseas bureaus.

The industry is sick, and if it takes a nutter to say the emperor has no clothes, that doesn't make it any less true.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. But look at what he wants to replace it with

Top ad on his site:

Obama nearly collapsed when this "top secret" information got leaked!
Leaked controversial video reveals the real secret reason why he is after you guns and ammo, and its not just mass murders or preparing for war ... its something darker than that

Today's stories:
Hurricane Season is Here: Are you Ready?
Is Washington Planning a Terrorist Operation against Syria in the Wake of the Elections?
Shock Medical Notice: We Need to Have a “Short 5 Minute PRIVATE Conversation With Your Child”
FAMILY CALLS 911 FOR HELP WITH SPECIAL NEEDS DAUGHTER, COPS SHOW UP AND SHOOT HER DEAD
Greed Is Good? Where Will America’s Sick Obsession With Wealth And Money End?

It's survivalist sensationalist crap. He's not looking for overseas bureaus.

[starroute]

21. Then the problem is why we leave it to jerks like this to spread the bad news

As I recall, there were several threads here at DU proclaiming that Fox News viewers now have an average age of 68 -- but they all seemed to think it was some sort of coup that MSNBC views averaged "only" 62.

There's something very wrong with US media. One illustration is the fact that even here at DU a lot of people are looking to a Russian propaganda outlet like RT, or a British tabloid like the Daily Mail, for coverage of US stories that you don't hear anything about in domestic sources.

The MSM have failed us -- and if we don't want the Alex Jones's of the world to fill the void, we need a better alternative.

[zeemike]

53. ^^this^^

To put the blame on Alex Jones for the failure of our "liberal" media is distracting from the problem and the solution.

[freshwest]

80. Agreed 100%. But I see the same forces that own MSM owning CTers like Jones. See my reply to muriel.

It's SSDD. We can't count on the media for anything but propaganda, all made up push triggers. But all the results of following what they're all selling us would be the same thus no mystery there.

[hatrack]

85. CNN isn't looking for overseas bureaus, and neither are ABC, NBC, CBS - folded the tent years ago

How much crap is out there on the internet? LOTS - Rense and Alex Jones and Debkafiles and Breitbart and Freepers and chemtrails and ZOG and Area 51 and the vaccine/autism link, and who's rocking epic sideboob - you name it. Anybody with a computer and Typepad can crank it out by the yard.

How much crap is out there on cable news? LOTS - Kardashians and the space-time continuum-warping search for Malaysia 370, and what the stars wore at the Oscars/Golden Globes/Emmys, and the "controversy" on global warming, and Casey Anthony and Nancy Grace (and the Flaring Nostrils of Justice) and the pathetic journalistic equivalent of a colostomy bag that is Leslie "Wolf" Blitzer and the dreadful, awful, horrible, pathetic failure (that wasn't) of Obamacare.

What's the difference? Well, in scenario A, it's up to the amateurs, the crackpots, the nutbags, the reality-challenged. In scenario B, it's in the hands of the professionals. And when CNN asks whether an airliner was "raptured" or if space aliens were involved, but 2.5 minutes of rapid climate collapse is "too long" (see also - Miles O'Brien and Neil Degrasse Tyson on climate reporting), WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

[TheNutcracker]

59. Agree, he's spot on here!

[Enthusiast]

77. He cites a finding by Breitbart.

Even a broken clock........

[tenderfoot]

42. Now now muriel_volestrangler you big old MSM apologist...

you're raining on their astroturf parade. You must have an agenda for CBS

[freshwest]

79. You beat me to it. A sampling from the front page of The Daily Sheeple:

White House Tells Border Patrol Agents to be Cowards and Hide

With President Barack Obama’s policies on border security and immigration, I’m surprised he hasn’t done away with Border Patrol agents all together.

Obama’s War On Coal Is Going To Kill Jobs And Sent Electricty Rates ‘Skyrocketing’

When Barack Obama was running for president in 2008, he stated that under his plan “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket”. Well, now it looks like he is finally getting around to keeping his promise.

Did the Bowe Bergdahl Story Get Michael Hastings Killed?

If a reporter was able to reach out to those same troops, and get them to break that silence, would that be enough to get such reporter killed?

HPV Vaccine Maker’s Study Proves Natural HPV Infection Beneficial, Not Deadly

A new GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) funded study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases has revealed that HPV infection, resulting in naturally acquired human papilloma virus (HPV) antibodies, reduces the risk for new infection and cervical abnormalities linked to cancer in non-HPV vaccinated subjects.

US Foreign Wealth Confiscation Begins Under the Code Names FinCen, FATCA and FBAR

We have been reporting on how the US government is using very nefarious and egregious methods on tracking its own citizens’ financial information, fining them and even instituting the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) as a form of subterfuge capital controls which is closing off international banking to Americans.

Is Washington Planning a Terrorist Operation against Syria in the Wake of the Elections?

There are indications that Washington and its allies are planning a new wave of destabilization involving the influx of weapons and death squads to be carried out in the wake of the June 3 Elections.

Economic Collapse - When It Will Happen

The media has sworn a blood oath to keep it hushed, but you deserve to know the truth because in this treasonous agenda, you and your loved ones are the sacrificial lambs.

Now, let's get down to why this sounds familiar. A list of Daily Sheeple articles:

Ron Paul Warned About Arming the BLM…in 1997

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/ron-paul-warned-about-arming-the-blm-in-1997_042014

It felt that way reading the article and then the link really said it all. Not sure what is going on here. And don't really care after reading all these links.

[rhett o rick]

9. The oligarchs will simply move their propaganda machines to those venues that

people are participating in. They are just behind the curve. If I had their money, I'd hire companies that could get their messages out via whatever the current media outlets are.

[Warpy]

10. If you're an obscenely rich fascist, what do you do first?

You start buying up news media so they'll tell your side of the story. If they're not as effective as they should be, you start shutting them down. An uninformed public is almost as good as a disinformed public.

[TheNutcracker]

60. And let's not forget Rupert Murdock....and the phone tapping etc.

[tenderfoot]

11. Great article until he cites Alex Jones as an example of journalistic integrity.

Every time I think of the mainstream media, I’m always reminded of the account Alex Jones gave of his visit to CNN last year when he was on Piers Morgan (which of course is now canceled).

“When I was at CNN a decade ago, it was glistening,” Now, he said, “it looks like Hitler’s bunker….torn-up carpet, feces all over the wall and on the floor in the bathroom. It’s rotting. Folks, I’ve been in those exact rooms,” he added. “It literally looked like a gas station bathroom in the worst part of town. It was rotting and those people were in hell. It’s a skeleton of what it was, it’s a globalist operation and they’re nothing.”

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. Good catch - I hadn't notice the OP carefully edited out that name from their excerpt

Looks like TheNutcracker has an agenda too...

[tenderfoot]

27. the article cites Brietbart as well...

definitely an astroturfing/faux populist agenda.

[Blus4u]

34. Looks like TheNutcracker has an agenda too...

that's what I thought as well.

Peace

[muriel_volestrangler]

64. You're defending Rense, Before It's News, Infowars, and Lew Rockwell?

Jesus wept. You haven't a fucking clue.

[tenderfoot]

68. I think he's here to simply bust nuts.

eom

[greatauntoftriplets]

78. And now he's flagged for review.

[tenderfoot]

69. Name some truths from Brietbart and Alex Jones.

[freshwest]

81. He appears to have left the thread. Try this:

Alex Jones tells 'uncomfortable truths':

Andrew Breitbart tells 'uncomfortable truths':

That's approximately what the OP writer said before his post got hidden. His style seems familiar.

[snooper2]

73. I cracked a nut once!

Want to hear the story?

[Whisp]

22. no way!! wtf, I'm taking back my rec. n/t

[90-percent]

12. MSM is not MSM

It's agenda driven corporate propaganda. And a substantial part of the decline is because more and more of us are becoming utterly aware of that fact.

Secondly, I think the way young people get information now is utterly different than us boomers, who grew up on black and white, 3 major networks and newspapers. They don't watch TV in real time all their entertainment is on demand and the cell phone and tablets have become their primary source of all media.

But we still have Stewart and Colbert for all of us to feel like a global village of shared info, just like back in the Walter Cronkite days.

9-11 was thirteen years ago. There is a generation that has acclimated to our post 9-11 nullification of many Constitutional rights and gloomy desperate futures. All us boomers have an obligation to both educate young people about how much better middle class American life was when we were children. And all do our utmost to try to return America to the hopes and dreams and LEVEL PLAYING FIELD we and our parents enjoyed five decades ago.

-90% Jimmy

[Arugula Latte]

23. We won't have Colbert much longer, though.

I mean, he'll be around, but his satire show won't be, which is a shame, because it is immensely informative.

[90-percent]

29. Colberts replacement?

I think has already been picked? I'm not worried because if Jon Stewart is a part of it, it will be wonderful.

Although Steven is the greatest of the great. The 2006 WHCD nailed it for me forever. Truth to Power cubed. Funny and patriotic on top of that.

-90% Jimmy

[Arugula Latte]

30. I don't know about the replacement.

And, yes, that correspondents' dinner speech was one of the bravest things I've ever witnessed. I've had dreams of telling those murderous Bushco thugs off to their faces, and he actually did it.

[MineralMan]

13. And this guy is the replacement?

Uff da!

Daily Sheeple? activistpost.com? Really?

Fox Noise is useless. CNN has become almost useless. However, people are still tuning into their local TV news and are still watching the three major networks' news programs. Many are still reading their local newspapers, as well.

Mainstream media is still alive and is still what a helluva lot of people are relying on for whatever news they bother to follow.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

16. I know what would boost their ratings:

[freshwest]

82. Indeed, as a fellow whistleblower said, 'Life's too short to lie in court.'

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Alex jones is not who I think off as a good newsman

By the way

Neither are the Breitbart people

[Skidmore]

72. He lost me at Bill O'Reilly.

Since when is O'Reilly even remotely mainstream...or Fox News, for that matter?

[Corruption Inc]

20. "Truth" is exactly why they're failing, they're incapable of it

They sold out to advertisers/corporations/government and threw honesty out the window. They're so paid off now they don't even know what truth is as they're incapable of thinking for themselves.

[libodem]

24. Back in 2002

I dated a conservative fellow who doted on O"Liely. He really thought he was mainstream middle of the road. The ex could not be more wrong.

O"Liely is a wolf in sheep's clothing misleading in the most sincere manner possible.

Triggers my gag reflex.

[Sunlei]

25. people realised fox is just an arm of the republican party. Medias much better outside the USA.

[enough]

28. "feces all over the wall and on the floor in the bathroom" in CNN offices?

Sounds a bit of an exaggeration perhaps?

[Historic NY]

32. its from flinging sh-t...

to see if it sticks.

[Fuddnik]

47. I think the feces are in front of the camera.

Wolf Blitzer and Nancy Grace anyone?

[Tikki]

33. The only times we watch TV news is when there is a local concern..which most often turns out to be a

Weather Channel event and, of course, the Daily Show and Colbert Report.

I gave up watching TV news quite some time ago when a local broadcaster was accidentally
caught still on air and on the microphone talking about and laughing about a new hair style Hillary had gotten.
This person actually had 'clown hair' and I thought , this station is inevitably going to be skewing the news
because a news cast is ultimately the sum of it's news writers and presenters.

Tikki

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. The "winning formula" for the media was based on Monica, Monica, Monica....

They don't know why that isn't working anymore.

Never occurred to them to stop shoving Republican Hate.

[Fuddnik]

49. It took 9/11 to knock Gary Condit off Faux Nooz.

We'd still be hearing about it.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

56. Barbara Olsen made a career over that nonsense....

I used to claim she wasn't on the plane that hit the Pentagon but got plastic surgery and is now known as Ann Coulter.

[tenderfoot]

36. Judging from the recs - it's pretty obvious that people didn't read the full article.

It's astroturf brought to you by Brietbart and Alex Jones.

[DeSwiss]

38. Champion of the MSM are ya?

Never mind, it doesn't matter.

[DeSwiss]

37. K&R!

[center][/center]

- A wonderful trend indeed!

[Tsiyu]

40. People's BS detectors are now fine-tuned

With the click of a mouse we can find any answer we seek.

We do not need the corporate-owned shills filtering the news for us.

Ding Dong, the liars are dying.

Halleluiah!

[Dustlawyer]

41. Companies like General Electric bought a network for propaganda purposes and leverage on

politicians. They would like to make money with it too, but that is secondary to the goals above.

[paulkienitz]

43. there's one group of people left who still watch a lot of TV, whether it be news or entertainment...

and that's those who have no job. The largest pool of which is retired people.

Younger people still have a hunger for news and current events. Unfortunately, the present media landscape doesn't seem to provide any way to reliably monetize that so as to support skilled professional reporters, which is what the media of the future will still need.

[abelenkpe]

45. Only thing we ever watch is Cosmos, Basketball, Colbert and Jon Stewart.

And Colbert and Jon Stewart we watch on the internet.

Not sure how the rest of those 900 channels stay afloat. Surprised any magazine or newspaper is still going.

[Jenoch]

46. "The Mainstream Media Is Hanging By A Thread"

It's my understanding that cable TV and satellite TV are still raking in the money.

Whoever wrote this piece did so while not including the word 'news'.

Reporting and writing ain't what it used to be.

[tenderfoot]

48. And uses Alex Jones and Brietbart as example of intergrity.

The jokes is on those that think it's intention is sincere.

When have right-leaning libertarians ever been sincere?

[NealK]

75. Well,

Alex Jones dicovered that Big Foot was genetically engineered at Area 51 by Aliens who fly Black Helicopters, you know.

[tenderfoot]

50. READ BEFORE YOU REC - This article cites Brietbart and Alex Jones as Journalistic Integrity.

Are you sure you want to do that?

[winter is coming]

54. Well, Breitbart and Jones are true to their sources...

of cash.

[TheNutcracker]

63. So what of his opinion of Breitbart and Alex! He's spot on here with our MSM

[tenderfoot]

65. There are better commentaries about the failings of the MSM from reputable sources...

you were just too lazy to find one.

What has Alex Jones or Brietbart ever exposed or uncovered? Other than making shit up.

[fredamae]

51. MSM=The Industrial Bullshit Complex n/t

[Blue Owl]

52. Now where's my scissors...

n/t

[HoosierCowboy]

55. Just like Wylie Coyote ran off a cliff

..the MSM is now suspended in mid air, and the only thing keeping him up was his not knowing there was nothing below him. We've known for a long time there was nothing there to begin with...

[Zen Democrat]

57. Many people have experienced being present at news events and seeing the press's slant later.

Or downright twists, lies and critical omissions. They have rotted from the head since the 1980's. No fairness doctrine - No fair and balanced press or media of any kind.

[alp227]

58. You do realize "Daily Sheeple" is a racist conspiracy theory site right?

I've seen that site before. It's the Walmart version of Infowars. This blog comments about the site:

A simple Google search on “sheeple” and any given relevant topic (Obama, Lady Gaga, Keynes) will yield countless examples of people using the word to describe his perceived rhetorical enemies. But a pretty much perfect example might be the website The Daily Sheeple, which is filled with nothing but widely disseminated, copy-and-paste talking points: ridicule of Obama mistakenly saying there are “57 states,” accusations that Trayvon Martin was a “thug” who deserved to be shot by George Zimmerman, etc. There isn’t much on the site that could be described as original thinking. The site is aimed at “preppers” — people who believe in a coming catastrophe, probably due to a liberal takeover. And there’s a lot of stuff on there about investing in precious metals, the currency of a large American constituency that tends to think and act in hivelike fashion. The ironies abound.

Also, with some of the stories on the front page right now, this isn't a site that's on our side:

Shock Medical Notice: We Need to Have a “Short 5 Minute PRIVATE Conversation With Your Child”

Do the government and its ancillaries have ownership over your child? Do they have the power to detain and question a child without parental permission?

Obamacare: watch out, here comes “predictive modeling”

This is coming. The structure is being built now, across all medical and insurance organizations.

Did the Bowe Bergdahl Story Get Michael Hastings Killed?

Could Michael Hastings have been killed by our government to shut him up?

“False Flag Terrorism” to Sustain America’s “Humanitarian” Agenda

For nearly seven decades the US Central Intelligence Agency has been the chief operating engineer and primary culprit covertly orchestrating this entire diabolical front engaging in acts of terrorism to ensure that Obama’s unabashed exceptionalism in the form of an overstretched, morally bankrupt, imperialistic American Empire in decline reaches every corner of the planet.

Attorney General Eric Holder unveiled his plan to create a new Justice Department task force this week that will focus on the threat of “homegrown” terrorism.

The website has this anti-Bowe Bergdahl hit piece.

Of course, the corporate media sucks a horse's ass. But seriously, do we really need to give every Alex Jones/David Icke wannabe credibility? I suggest you self-delete this.

And speaking of Activist Post, the website is anti-vaccine and just as much kooky as Daily Sheeple.

Skeptoid comments:

Globalresearch.ca/Washington’s Blog/Zero Hedge/The Economic Collapse Blog/Activist Post/The Daily Sheeple/WhatDoesItMean.com/etc.: These are just some of the many, many dubious blogs and news aggregators devoted to overthrowing our capitalist slave masters through gold, legal weed, hoarding food and guns and reading the Bible. If the Occupy Wall Street movement had an official website, it would probably look something like one of these, full of long, rambling stories and lists about a variety of horrors. These include our Constitutional Freedoms being stripped away, the tyrannical surveillance state, the evils of big business, the upcoming economic collapse (which has been happening any day now for years) and police state slavery arriving at the feet of an army of drones.

[tenderfoot]

61. You MSM apologist!

[tenderfoot]

67. Then that must mean you're an apologist for Alex Jones and Brietbart.

Not that it wasn't already obvious.

[TheNutcracker]

70. Nothing I posted has anything to do with anything but the post on MSM. You distract with the writers

other places of interest to read. Do you hear what they say about us reading here?

It has nothing to do with sheeple waking up to MSM.

[tenderfoot]

71. You're posting links to sketchy sources and getting called out for it.

[alp227]

76. And flagged for review now

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=312595

because of 2 hidden posts in this thread.

[muriel_volestrangler]

74. Your article is putting Breitbart and Alex Jones forward as good examples of journalism

That's why it's a worthless piece of offal.

[freshwest]

84. Yes, my search there quickly devolved into a sewer of racist crap. Your Skeptoid piece is good. TY

[Not a Fan]

86. Television

We stopped watching television completely about twenty-one years ago now. There was simply no point.

[Cha]

87. FInally!?!! I Wish.. along with every other person who is sick to death of the BULLSHIT.
