In the 2016 election, leaked emails that showed how the MSM and the DNC are basically the same thing. At that time, the DNC and honchos of corporate media thought people in the United States were still paying attention to what they had to say, even though cable subscriptions had already dropped by more than 50% from 2000. Now in the prelude to the 2020 election they seem intent on turning YouTube into another cable channel.
It's somewhat surprising that Google/YouTube is going along with the plan, although it's basically confirmation that corporate "America" is a financial cartel rather than competing organizations.
I doubt it solves the fundamental problem of loss of credibility/exposure of mainstream/establishment institutions as opposed to the interests of the average American. I doubt it saves cable or corporate media either.
They'll probably start going after the alt-tech companies even harder than they were before. At some point violence might break out. The 2020 election is going to be weird.
