Being media in the internet age of free news has gotten hard.
To make money all media has become niche and must cater to some segment of the population that want their biases validated.
If an outlet doesn't offer up "red meat" to a loyal core, they don't survive.

The core will move on to someone who will.
If you don't feed your dogs, they'll take up with the nice old lady down the street.

They all seek to unsettle you and then offer you a fix and some relief.
In the case of FOX and Glen Beck, they give you all the reasons that the world will be destroyed and then sell you prepper meals and gold.

Everything is a distortion. The art is what they leave out.

I have had MSNBC on all afternoon. They talked about MUSK and Wisconsin throughout. Never heard them mention the Florida elections once.
I had my screen split with MSNBC on one side and NEWS NATION on the other. NN was Trump giving a speech so you got to hear his words. MSNBC split their screen showing Trump talking at a podium, but muted...while a parade of propagandists slammed him.

MSNBC is the worst propaganda station on cable but by far the most fun to watch.
