But it’s more likely, I think, that most people fell for the old human desire to get something for nothing.

You cannot deny that the media was supremely effective in making the sale. Those who read the media revenue declines mistakenly believed, or so it seems, that the old media was dead.

Who in the dextrosphere comforted us with — and still cling to — that allusion, viz., “the dinosaur media is toothless?” Even the voter fraud…. Oh why bother listing the worst examples out of a long litany of new media’s failure. Who will admit it?

Not only that. None of the culpable will cop to the fact that they still act as if the establishment media is dead. The only thing really dead at MSM is their pretext of trying to appear unbiased.
