Since AIM founder Reed Irvine hired me out of college in 1978, amazing changes have taken place in the media landscape. Reed’s penetrating analysis of liberal media bias encouraged the search for alternatives. People became skeptical of what was piped into their homes. The days when world government advocate and anti-defense liberal Walter Cronkite was the most trusted man in America faded fast.
Still, the bias persists. One can understand President Donald Trump’s disgust with such Comcast properties as MSNBC, while hoping that the President would take some time proposing alternatives. The good news he should proclaim is that conservative alternative networks are becoming more widely available through the emergence of Internet streaming devices such as Roku and a phenomenon called cord-cutting.
National Cut the Cord Day on July 7 is an example of what’s happening to the media landscape.
