I think the media has blinders on and is getting this wrong. While many legacy outlets are seeing declines, from talking to others, that is not the case for many newer outlets.
For example, Democracy Docket had its best week ever for new paid memberships. https://www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Liberal stations will be attacked and hounded by government agencies. Trump/MAGA supporting stations will get benefits, tax cuts, etc. It will become unprofitable to be a liberal broadcaster.
Met a couple just last night that said this ...
Tuning out in general: No.
CNN was practically bipolar this cycle.
I have used strictly Twitter but not the feed only bookmarked accounts. I have now mostly moved here and now have tried the feed …. Tbd.
Other channels provide that and it isn't the MSM
Yes, Wordle too.
That's what's being tuned out
People are tired of the sane-washing, bothsideism, normalizing, and horse race bullshit
I canceled NYT and WaPo, subbed to Philly Inquirer, Guardian, kept the Atlantic (the good outweighs when it makes me throw up in my mouth a little), and then there are the podcasts! (Deep State Radio is a fabulous value)
Also, legacy media such as the NYT seems to be losing its audience with non-liberal men. Maybe a Cletus Safari and a Tech Bro safari every day will turn that around.

Lots of people on their hawking their books.
They repeat the same stuff all day with rare exceptions.
They are outside of the US.
So it will be harder for them to get jacked.
Nobody should have read the shitty corporate rag after that, but here we are.

Smaller, independant news sources who speak unvarnished truth with verifiable facts are where it's at for me these days.
I missed the news for a couple of weeks, but I’m much happier now without them in my life.
I tuned out of the NYTimes when they told Biden to step down, but #NeverTrump
And we’re back now—flocking to Bluesky, podcasts, & niche media.
But we canceled our WaPo & LA Times subscriptions over their billionaire owners declining to endorse this election.
News junkies are changing how we consume media.
“Neutrality” is a choice.
I have been tuning out since the election. But I use NYT Cooking a lot.
Was able to get down to $4/4 wks. Now if we have another 9/11 or something like that I'll at least have a spot to read what is happening.
I hope🙏
lack if journalistic integrity. I hope we see a resurgence of independent quality unbiased journalism.
A little broadcast network news, Skynews, but mostly local news and folks such as yourself.
