Mainstream media going down; ABC, CBS imploding

The American mainstream media has been on a collision course with reality for several years.  It appears the day of reckoning has arrived as both ABC News and CBS News make announcements today that indicate deep financial woes.  In short, the mainstream media is going down as the big news giants begin to implode.

For quite some time now it has been widely known that NBC News and its sister networks MSNBC and CNBC are in dire financial straits.  That news was confirmed with the sale of the entity a few months ago.

Today, however, ABC News announced that it is cutting its news correspondent staff by half and that it will close all of its 'brick and mortar' news bureaus, except for its Washington hub.


.........

This is great news. Here's hoping AP follows suit.

This is just clearing away the redundancy and "surplus population", preparatory for converting these Dim'Rat mouthpieces into the new, all powerful, all knowing MINISTRY OF TROOF AN' SHIT.

You laugh now, but you and I both know damned well that is exactly the route il Douche will finally propose for bailing out his propaganda ministry.

Better yet, have the politburo take some of Fox viewers and force them watch PMSNBC in order to bring the ratings up. Do the same with ABC and CBS.
