Column: Is It the End of the Big Media Era?
After Donald Trump won, the media had to think about the unthinkable: doesn’t anyone care about our “news” anymore? How could our relentless anti-Trump messaging fail to land?

It had not been a good week for ABC’s The View as they were forced to repeatedly read legal notes after parroting allegations against President-elect Trump’s nominations for cabinet positions.
