The shrinking power, profits, payrolls, and prestige of their industry have led to calls for bailouts, most notably for local newspapers, and government protection from competition, including demands for something past generations of legacy media luminaries would find equally inexplicable and unconscionable: censorship.
The present situation for legacy media is similar to the one faced by record companies in the 1980s, when they colluded with radio stations to control the music industry and shape public tastes.
This is precisely the demand made by the legacy media to protect its privileged position as the elite opinion makers in our republic-namely, the stifling of the democratization of information through censorship.
In the legacy media's death spiral, their opinion-shaping wordsmiths are rarely as honest as that in expressing their motives and aims.
Colluding with their political cronies, both elected and otherwise, and ironically with Big Tech, the legacy media is targeting any American seeking to participate in the Communication Revolution's "Democratization of information." In return, there is reciprocity on the part of the legacy media: recall their willingness to falsely condemn and conceal the reportage of another legacy media outlet when the Hunter Biden laptop story threatened the legacy media's aligned and preferred candidate's presidential prospects.
Ah, yes, who better than the legacy media that spent years spreading Russia-gate lies to undermine a duly elected president to determine what the truth is? Still, nothing screams honesty more than a politician, who everyone just loves to death.
Unlike the legacy media and their political cronies, choose wisely.
