For quite sometime now, TV and Print media have been increasingly losing credibility with their reporting in so many aspects. On top of that, their relevance is being increasingly challenged by social media at break-neck rate. Their business domain is like a giant dinosaur stumbling into their last few steps to collapse if they do not learn to adapt and address the psyche of the ever more informed news consumers.
Come next big election cycle, it is quite likely that significant portion of the campaign funds will get steered away from the jaws of the media power houses like CNN, Washington Post, and the likes.
In the aftermath of the Hillary's vanquishment, not just those media companies but a lot of the TV journalists suddenly seem to have found their career tracks on shaky grounds. A surprise, right? One of them even went on to exclaim then, "How do I explain this [ Hillary's loss apparently ] to my children?". Look, there is nothing to explain to an apolitical child about politics unless you do not leave your house in the morning to go to a job for a whole month. In any contest, there is always a winner and a loser - a fact of life.
It would no longer make sense to throw billions of dollars at TV ad businesses when the latter are not able to get a DNC or RNC candidate get elected anymore. When the next presidential election cycle comes around with a louder buzz and a heavier campaign-fund, it would be interesting to witness how these media companies fare.
And to those Hillary fan-boys and fan-girls,
take a deep breath and let it go please. Better yet, start a frantic search for a candidate who can effectively defeat Trump in about 45 months from now. I could care less about the color or any distinguishing features of a cat as long as it can catch mice.
