1012 Hold the Microphone

Mainstream media loses money, especially print, like newspapers & magazines: the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, Politico, Huffington Post, and countless other examples. Investors who want profits get out of the MSM; that's why The Right is so behind in the narrative-setting business, they are too financially conscientious to buy into bankrupt enterprises. It's the folks who have an agenda who buy up news & media properties, but as political mouthpieces, not investments. The Left understands the power of propaganda and how to distribute it, and they don't see the red on the balance sheet, instead they recognize who holds the microphone controls what happens, and those that without a microphone don’t. It’s not paranoia to think that there’s a cabal who own the media, and use it for their own nefarious purposes; the only question is who?
