The results of all this garbage is that the American people, in true “show me” mood, began to realize they were not being given “just the facts” journalism in any given situation but rather they were being fed liberal narratives masquerading as facts. Or, as the shorthand became, “fake news.”

And as that realization set in, liberal media credibility took one self-inflicted hit after another. The audience for just-the-facts news from Fox, Newsmax, One America News grew – and grew. As did their audience and their ratings.

At this point, the “mainstream media” has done so much self-inflicted damage to itself that one can only wonder if they will literally survive, much less thrive again.
