Where did I ever say that the MSM successfully influenced the election? I've actually said despite a coordinated narrative by MSM, the voters didn't fall for the gaslighting. That still doesn't make it right. And yes, the MSM has low viewership due to the fact that they've lost the public trust the last few years for failing to tell the truth about Biden, immigration and crime, just to name a few. That's what you call "the proof is in the pudding".Lol, I don't buy into the whining about MSM being biased that has been going on for years now. Its an old/stale pov that has been disproven at the polls in election after election.
I don't watch cable news as they are just annoying whiny opinion merchants on both sides, I literally tuned out years ago. The actual viewing numbers for cable news are pretty miniscule relative to the population with Fox being the leader having a couple of million viewers at prime time in a country with a population of 340M. Fox had 70 of the top 100 news casts in 2024 for cable news.
The morning shows on your MSM have viewships of 3M or less. The most watched nightly news is around 7M at peak.
150M people voted - they are not been led by MSM. Its just an easy "they're out to get you" argument that doesn't hold any water.
So Musk allegedly removing posters' checkmarks (not actually blocking their posts) on a social media platform is more of a concern for you and an abuse of free speech/public trust than our primary news media outlets ignoring, hiding and disputing the obvious decline in Biden's cognitive ability? Got it.
What's even more ironic is the left whined like little bitches when the Russian's allegedly posted misinformation on Facebook which they claimed resulted in Trump's victory in 2016. Maybe others do, but I get zero political content on Facebook unless a friend posts a political comment. The only non-solicited content I get is for skiing, fishing or some company trying to sell something. If you actually "follow" and believe political content on Facebook, or any other social media, then you get what you deserve.
