They'll be eaten by the younger upstarts that actually care to report on news and write real journalism. And then the cycle begins again (look at Vice).
You could literally pick any of them to get your daily allowance of fear. They all lead and follow with some form of bloody hook to get the echo chamber reverberating.
Never felt happier. I recommend it to everyone. I crowd source my news from friends.
Wow, you weren't kidding. I was at least expecting it to differ from fox by showing different kinds of crime, but nope - subway shootings in NYC was the first thing I saw. Who the hell would ever pay for this???
And to be fair, I did see some non-fear based content. But the vast majority was and even some of the non-fear based stuff (maybe, I'm literally judging a show by its cover) still had those dark tones/style of posters.
I cannot stress this enough. People don't watch news for the entertainment value (even if that does increase viewership, that's not why they are watching it).
Today isn't a normal day or a good day to compare news sources; there was a mass shooting in which at least 10 people were shot and 28 injured. That subway shooting is also the top story on Google News and the NY Times website.
