BROADCAST BIAS: Media circle the wagons to protect their anti-Trump reporting

Liberal media reporters wage war against CBS News under Bari Weiss, using anonymous sources to trash executives moving outlets away from far-left coverage.

But the liberal hardliners can’t abide trying to find new audiences by including dissenting opinions, or "news judgment" that isn’t fervently anti-Trump. 

Critics of this new regime love to predict doom around the corner. The Ringer literally cartooned Weiss’s CBS as "pancaked, Wile E. Coyote–style, against the side of the mountain." Variety’s CBS sources described the network being on the verge of a "death spiral" that is "hard to reverse." CBS News has been in third place for decades, and their audience continues to decline, but only adding viewpoint diversity is "death spiral" material.

Weiss was blunt about the declining appeal of traditional media. "We are not producing a product enough people want," she said. She sounds a lot like other network chieftains in the realization that most younger Americans don’t watch TV news or listen to traditional radio. They’ll have to grab them in some other format. The "graying" of the audience is a hard fact.
