As 2025 dawns, legacy media finds itself in a state of freefall, grappling with plummeting public trust and cratering viewership. The once-dominant voices of traditional media are now struggling to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing landscape.
The decline can be attributed to two primary factors. First, the media landscape that legacy outlets once controlled has dramatically shifted. Gone are the days when the liberal media ecosystems of New York and Washington, D.C., dictated the terms of national discourse. The power dynamics have changed, leaving major corporate entities like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post scrambling to keep pace.
In stark contrast to these traditional giants, the Joe Rogan podcast has emerged as a dominant force in media consumption, averaging an astonishing 11 million views per episode. This staggering figure highlights the seismic shift in audience preferences, as more people turn to alternative platforms for their news and entertainment.
To put this into perspective, CNN, once a titan of news broadcasting, now struggles to attract more than 400,000 viewers during its primetime lineup—less than 4% of what Rogan generates. This dramatic decline underscores a broader trend: audiences are increasingly disillusioned with legacy media, seeking out voices that resonate with their own experiences and beliefs.
As the wounds of distrust deepen, the future of legacy media hangs in the balance. Will these traditional outlets adapt to the new media landscape, or will they continue to fade into obscurity? The answers may redefine the way we consume news in the years to come.

Mainstream media has no one to blame but themselves. They’re no longer reporting, just propagandizing.
69% of Americans DO NOT TRUST THE MSM TO NOT LIE TO THEM, & as such that MUST FACTOR IN to why they’ve been dying out, losing jobs for quite some time with some big guys reporting recently going under.
The so-called ‘legacy’ media has the audacity to call online news sources disinformation & misinformation when you can easily, thru YOUR OWN RESEARCH PROVE THAT THAT APPLIES TO THEM.
In the past how it has advertised itself NEVER APPLIED TO IT, but instead applied to the so-called ‘alternative’ media, better aptly called “free, independent, & therefore answering to nobody media”.
In the year 1967 the CIA launched a black ops called “Operation Mockingbird”, which was an attempt to set up a PROPAGANDA MILL, & the one thing given as an example of that was, in fact, CNN, & it was anchored by an undercover CIA agent. As a matter of fact, he stayed a long time & was recently dismissed.
There is a press online that aims to allow you to TRULY THINK FOR YOURSELF, & IT DOES THIS BY GIVING YOU EVERY POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVE, SO THAT WAY YOU COME TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
👉Does the mainstream media do that? No.
Another press that came online within it’s 1st month got ALL the financial support it needs to stay up & running.
Your MSM calls the most popular ppls’ candidates for POTUS “spoilers” when they’re anything but.
They don’t even poll democratically. For instance, Zogby, who in fact does, when including a Kennedy, RFK, Jr. found that he had a favorability rating of 51%, while the establishment candidates Trump & Biden didn’t even reach 1/2 that in their favorability ratings to start, polling at just 20%, then up to a mere 1/2 at 25%. Gee, now what would you expect if he was cut from the same cloth as his uncle Ex-President JFK & father RFK? A REAL American would NEVER have the nerve to ask Bobby what that damn so-called mainstream ‘journalist’ did when he said “Why are you running?” That’s like saying “Why would you run?” The Kennedys encouraged the best in the American ppl, they touched ppls’ hearts, that’s why they are considered “American royalty”. That’s insulting. He ran the MOST SUCCESSFUL INDEPENDENT POTUS CAMPAIGN IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
He was humble enough to admit if he was wrong then he would say so, & change his point-of-view. Nobody is God & knows everything.
Trump sure showed that in his rush to deal with the Oxycontin crisis. He made sure that ppl who needed it couldn’t get it by his policy on it, so that ppl who, say for instance, were to much in pain to walk w/o it couldn’t get it bc he put too tight controls on it.
Pain Management Specialists say in the INTAKE FORMS that NOBODY has to get addicted to opiods like that if THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM. I SHOULD KNOW, I TOOK OXYCONTIN MYSELF FOR CHRONIC, SEVERE, PAIN & READ THOSE WORDS.
They mainstream media is also SLAPPING THE AVERAGE READER IN THE FACE bc they have the NERVE to DISS the VERY PPL who are MOST FOR THE PPL, such as WHISTLEBLOWERS, ACTIVISTS IN MOVEMENTS, the kind of ppl WHO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT & ARE GOOD PPL — & they do it in favor of CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENTS. Very elitist, & if you know what AMERICAN IS, by virtue of our beginnings, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
That is NOT opinion, that’s FACT, an example of which is when the anti-vaxxer movement said that MMR vaxxes cause Autism. The AMA OUTRIGHT LIED, which you could prove when it said that that wasn’t true. All you had to do was go online & do your own homework yourself. There was MEDICALLY SCIENTIFIC STUDY AFTER MEDICALLY SCIENTIFIC STUDY THAT SHOWED THAT MEDICINE DID IN FACT ESTABLISH THAT THEIR MMR VAX DID IN FACT CAUSE AUTISM.
Having been a medical professional myself I know that in order for a medical study to be considered valid it has to be REPLICATED — WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID BY FINDING IT TO BE TRUE THAT THEIR MMR VAX DID IN FACT CAUSE AUTISM OVER & OVER AGAIN.
The democrat mainstream media has been lying for years to cover up the truth about what the democrat party has done to this country, just look around at any city controlled by democrats and ask yourself what the hell is going on. They have been tearing down the American dream, turning cities into trash. People are waking up to what is really going on.
