MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider pointed out that Americans aren’t tuning in for the partisan bias and radical beliefs pushed by the legacy media. That’s why people like Late Show host Stephen Colbert are getting squeezed out.
Schneider told Fox News senior correspondent Kevin Corke that print and broadcast legacy media were taking a beating for losing touch. On the Wednesday edition of Fox News Tonight, Schneider said, “If these entertainment companies are not serving the public interest, if they are not serving consumers, they are going to go out of business.”
Schneider went on to mention the many struggling legacy media companies. “The market is disciplining CBS, but it's also Disney,” he said. “We can see this in PBS and NPR. They've got so much money from the government, and that is now over. The Washington Post couldn't survive on its own, and it required Jeff Bezos to bail them out.”
On June 17, Colbert announced that CBS had cancelled his show would end after its next season.
