News is not my field, but I'll take a stab at it. It seems to me the difference between Walter Cronkite on the CBS evening News when I was growing up and now all the media and the news being on the internet; is that the whole of CBS back then was being sold to advertisers-the news just being a part of that package. People tuned into Walter Conkite to hear the news, period. If you wanted an opinion, you tuned into another CBS show. Now, as Bill O'Reilly stated; everything is subscriptions over the internet, where people pay to hear what they want to hear. If you want straight news, yiu can just read it on the news apps on your phone. I no longer have a TV anymore-50 year old thing broke down and I'm not getting a new one because anything I want from it will be on the internet.
