Oh gee, B is here spreading the same ol' stuff.
News flash--no pun intended--it isn't just broadcast news that's dropped over the years, it's broadcast TV. Anyone think, for a moment, it might be because comparing 2010 to years--and decades--ago is beyond the proverbial apples-to-oranges scenario? When the pie has been expanded with hundreds of choices, well, DUH, of course the total share is lower. But guess what...with few exceptions, the shows, news included, on broadcast, still reach more viewers than any one of those other choices.
But hey, never let facts get in the way of a bitter, jealous rant.
