By Cal Thomas: It may be too late for legacy media to redeem itself given the leftist bent of many within that cocoon. If they go the way of previous outmoded and irrelevant things, they will have only themselves to blame. A free press is essential to a strong America. The arrival of new media may be journalism’s savior.

Wikipedia Effectively Blacklists All Right-Leaning Media

The Washington Post and LA Times Are Filled with Liberal Activists, Not Journalists

Journalists Deserve All the Angst That Trump Win Brings

NBC’s Kristen Welker Lied Again

Can “The View” Survive Trump 2.0?
Trump hasn’t uttered the oath of office yet, and “The View” is in crisis mode. What happens after Jan. 20, 2025? A look at the big picture spells more trouble for “The View.” A report suggested the show’s producers are scrambling to add a pro-Trump voice to the panel. That suggests “The View” understands the gravity of Trump’s re-election win.
Is It the End of the Big Media Era?

CNN’s Town Hall Leaned into Boosting Kamala
