Who's the alt-media?

Greg Hunter: producer and host of USA Watchdog
The Internet is chewing up mainstream television and cable news and media just like it chewed up newspapers. It seems like the "mainstream" is turning into the fringe and vice versa.

Social blade tabulates YouTube stats into a TV ratings type format. The site shows Greg Hunter's USA watchdog (a man with a web cam and a backdrop and determination) pulls in about 250k viewers per week. That's at least in the neighborhood of ratings of mainstream cable news and its multi million dollar budgets.

Alex Jones' YouTube channel pulls in about 9 million viewers per week! That's roughly the combined audience for Bill Maher and John Oliver's HBO shows.

The "mainstream" is steadily becoming the fringe. This might be another reason that it hates Trump and his supporters; Trump's a proxy or a mascot for their undoing.
