and just look at what happened to Fox News: finally knocked off of their pedestal after decades of being #1-- by MSNBC

MSNBC which does only marginally better reporting than Fox News. I have mixed feelings about this.

I haven’t looked at the numbers but I wonder if this is driven by the consolidation of media consumption by left-leaning consumers and the fracturing of media consumption by right-leaning consumers.

oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not simping for MSNBC-- nor any corporate news conglomerate. I was just commenting on Fox News's fall from... well, whatever it was. the top.

Yes, I feel the same. So while I do enjoy watching their decline I’m not sure this represents an improvement in the media ecosystem as a whole. I suspect a lot of former Fox News viewers have now been sucked into far right or even fascist media sources.
