Complain all you want, but the smart money knows what\u2019s happening. And smart money begets innovation\u2014and innovation improves lives. Also, Obama in his 2nd term was a poor ad seller for media\u2014it\u2019s because he was stable and offered few surprises. However Trump (and his dramatic actions) might save and transform the entire media industry, as press bash and explore him relentlessly (and make a fortune in ads doing so as liberals and conservatives eat it up and fight over it all). However, always remember, media companies, whether they\u2019re liberal or conservative, do not exist to serve you and deliver news, but to sell ads to shareholders (like Facebook too which is also near an all time high in stock price) so they can get richer. Media companies that were once struggling are doing better now. I\u2019m not taking sides on any of these issues\u2026I\u2019m just reminding you of a few simple truths on how the world works.
