Fox News is sitting fat right now but they better take note. Another four years of uncritical reporting on a Trump administration will put them in the same boat.

I see Chris Wallace jumped ship. Probably because he was told that CNN could no longer pay his $8.5M salary. Anderson Cooper is next. They pay him $20M.

Maybe a few are seeing the light, however, the current news people on CNN and a few other agencies actually believe it is their job to tell people what to think. They need to go. Chris Wallace is one of them and best he left. One paragraph stood out to me.

He went on to say that readers and viewers need to 'go armed with what the actual facts are,' rather than being told what to think or having the truth spun in many ways. 
'We used to have one set of facts and then you could have 30 discussions around that set of facts. Now you have 30 sets of facts and a thousand discussions around those sets of facts. And that has to change or we're in big trouble as a society,' he said.

Reminds me of our board at times ....

The "30 sets of facts" is from forums and social media.  TV news has only ever acknowledged one or two sets of facts. No one's figured out how to either (a) keep the one or two sets of facts world credible when 30 sets exist or (b) credibly present more sets of facts.

Fox is very much winning the TV news market share battle, but the pie as a whole is like half the size it was 20 years ago.
