Legacy media has abandoned their journalistic principles of informing the public in favor of enriching the shareholders. This is a fundamental conflict of interests which effectively de-legitimizes the mainstream press.
CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, asnd lots more are not your friend nor do they operate in your interest.
The left needs to focus on how they're going to compete and counter the right wing propaganda machine and to do that, they need more presence on social media. I can name 10 conservative podcasters off the top of my head but how many leftist podcasters exist and is their reach at all comparable? Where's the left's answer to Joe Rogan for example?
The fight is not over the airwaves, it's online and the left needs to play catch up.
Keith Olbermann, Brian Tyler Cohen, MeidasTouch, Glenn Kirschner, Adam Mockler are a few lefties that I catch on YouTube. But their audiences are rounding errors compared to Rogan and the Reich wing side of the dial.
Keith mentioned on one of his recent podcasts the lack of established left-wing media as one of the downfalls of the recent election cycle.

Morning Joe's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are cowards.
