OUR VIEW: Trump Re-Election Forces Reform (Or Complete Demise) Of Mainstream Media

As noted by this columnist, it wasn’t for lack positive media publicity that Kamala Harris lost the election badly. 

Since July, ABC, CBS and NBC treated Harris to nearly 80% positive coverage, while the same networks gave Donald Trump 85% negative coverage, audits show. What a disservice to the nation.

For decades, conservatives have complained about the media's left-wing bias. But since the Obama years, this bias has devolved into blatant leftist activism, with the big networks and newspapers focused on attacking conservative values, fiscal discipline, traditional institutions, generally accepted principles, and common sense.

Fortunately, the antiquated "mainstream" media have less and less influence in this country as evidenced by the election results. 

An October Gallup survey found that trust in the media had sunk to a record low of 31%. The last time Gallup found a majority of Americans had either a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in media was 2003.

There's a noticeable noose tightening around the collective neck of the mainstream news media; the outlets themselves are providing the rope. 

For the good of the nation, it's time for new generation to ensure reform comes to what remains of journalism.

If that reform does not come quickly -- and with lasting results -- the legacy media's complete demise will be realized by decade's end. Nowadays, there are too many alternative sources willing to deliver credible and accurate information without the spin.
