Former President Donald Trump always said he was the best thing to ever happen to the media.
Now that he is gone — well, sort of gone — can we say that he was right?
Axios’ Sara Fischer and Neal Rothschild write, “In the months since former President Trump left office, news audiences have plunged — and publishers who rely on partisan warfare have taken an especially big hit.”
While partisan TV is nothing new (Fox News and MSNBC and the like all were going strong well before Trump arrived on the scene), it certainly ramped up over the past four years. But with Trump out of the White House and the temperature lowered just a bit, it does appear news outlets from all sides are losing audience.
