"Ahoy! Morning Glory: Legacy media be sinkin' like a leaky ship, lost to the briny depths o' obscurity!"
2025-02-11
Arrr, matey! The ancient scrolls and the shiny new trinkets hath swiped the scallywags' attention! Aye, the landlubbers be enchanted by their shiny baubles, leavin' us ol' sea dogs high and dry in the briny deep! Avast, where be our loyal crew?
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of a great squabble between the "new media" rascals and the aging "legacy media" galleons, a tussle that be brewin' fer nigh on four decades! It all kicked off when the FCC tossed the fairness doctrine overboard in '87, and lo, the mighty Rush Limbaugh set sail with his talk radio fleet a year later, givin' birth to a new era in the media seas!Before Rush’s cannon roared, we had the likes of William F. Buckley and his crew at the National Review, but the waters were teemin' with left-leanin' scallywags. Now, the winds of change have blown fierce; the grand fleets of old be sinkin', what with folks preferin' the new treasure trove of media riches—podcasts and online channels abound!
Why bother with the old, creaky ships of biased news when ye can pick a podcast to match yer tastes? From fair and balanced to downright raucous, there be something fer every landlubber! The legacy media be flounderin', with their subscriptions droppin' like cannonballs, while the new media sails forth with nary a care, plunderin' the treasure troves of the youthful hearts who cast aside the dusty tomes of yore.
So, hoist yer flags high for the new media! The legacy ships be settin' a course for Davy Jones’ locker if they don’t change their ways soon! Arrr!
