The liberal media’s reign of dominance has been akin to a one-trick pony, repeating the same song for way too long. For years, mainstream outlets have acted as silent sentinels for the Democratic Party, diligently noting down every talking point while squashing any semblance of dissent. However, that once-impenetrable fortress is starting to feel a lot more like a sinking ship, and the life rafts are being manned by conservative networks and independent journalists. It looks like the liberal media is about to get a wake-up call that will leave them tossing and turning in a sea of irrelevance.
This isn’t just an emotional rollercoaster; it’s backed by cold, hard data. High-profile media figures, including Jim VandeHei of Politico fame, have noted that the liberal media has arguably never been in such a wretched state. While those on the left may be crying into their organic avocado toast, the numbers tell a different story. CNN is tossing about 200 employees overboard in a desperate attempt to stay afloat amid what they call “irrevocable shifts” in audience habits. In layman’s terms, that means that fewer people are buying what they’re selling—liberal propaganda with a side of eye-rolling.

Even the Bezos-owned Washington Post has seen its audience metrics plunge faster than a bungee jumper without the cord. From a peak of over 22 million daily users during Biden’s inauguration, they nosedived to a paltry 2.5 million by mid-2024. The irony here could make one chuckle: if the media isn’t keen on scrutinizing their preferred candidates and, let’s face it, doing their jobs, how can they expect the public to keep tuning in? Sure, some might call it a media apocalypse, while others label it a well-deserved fate for years of selective reporting and outright censorship.
The liberal media’s current low tide is not merely an event horizon; it’s a reflection of its own choices, particularly its refusal to address issues like Biden’s cognitive functioning and his administration’s stumbling policies. Yet, instead of acknowledging these obvious problems, these outlets opted to laugh off legitimate concerns while burying scandals, particularly those tied to the likes of Hunter Biden. The economy was spun as thriving despite rising evidence to the contrary, but even the most faithful liberal readers can’t keep their eyes shut for too long. The “don’t believe your lying eyes” rhetoric just isn’t cutting it anymore.
There may be a glimmer of hope for liberal outlets, at least according to VandeHei, who thinks that with a bit of smart leadership, they could potentially rise from the ashes. However, he holds on to the hope that personalities like Rachel Maddow and Joe Scarborough could bring them back to prominence. This seems comical at best, as any serious viewer would do a double-take. The trust between these networks and their viewers has been shredded, largely due to these personalities who willingly danced around issues rather than tackling them head-on. Scarborough’s claim that Biden was sharper than ever after a disastrous debate is an episode that would make a comedy writer envious for material.
At the end of the day, this fall from grace isn’t merely incidental; it’s a byproduct of reckless journalism masked as activism. By disregarding journalistic integrity and failing to deliver genuine news, the liberal media may have inadvertently orchestrated their own demise. Millions of Americans are now waking up to realize that what they thought was journalism was simply a circus act, and if the media fails to adapt quickly to this reality, they’ll likely find themselves shuffled into the archives of history without so much as a farewell tour.
