re: #273 Anymouse 🌹

It would seem to me the huge segment of the populace that wants for actual news and not right-wing propaganda would be a market to compete for. Putting people like Megyn Kelly and Hugh Hewitt on are competing for the shrinking demographic FOX has. I’m not much of a businessperson but that just doesn’t seem like a sensible business strategy to me.

The problem is, television isn’t really a great medium for communicating the news. Not in any serious, in depth way. If you want actual news, you need to go with print (be it digital or dead tree), because that’s where actual explanations of events and analysis of said events actually happens. Television (and radio, for that matter) isn’t going to give you a measured discussion of events - at least not for any sustained period of time.

I’ll also add that podcasts seem to be in a better position than television or radio because they aren’t confined by format (length, advertising requirements, bothsiderism).
