But… who watches the news really. Not the worker who is working multiple jobs to pay the bills. And really, how does the gov shutdown hurt them. They have ensured that the things they most care about aren’t affected. Like air force one isn’t affected. All the upper level government officials are on private or government owned jets and by passing normal security.
After this shut down, they will probably add tsa to the always gets paid anyway list.
I haven’t figured out if a general strike would really bother them either. After it was done, they could probably have layoffs “because of the economic impact of the strike” and get rid of people they felt were organizers. Plus people who are old or cost too much and all that. And of course a general strike would be nearly impossible to make happen. There are of course laws against union leadership backing such a thing. So they have taken the most likely organizers out of the process.
One of the dumbest statements ever. TV media runs news programs every morning, noon, and night. Entire stations are devoted to it, as are many websites, radio stations, publications, books, etc. clearly, a LOT of people are following the news. If that’s your opening premise, you’ve already lost the debate.
People get thier news from facebook, x, instagram, reddit… TV media is dieing. The big players will survive a while longer. But mainly because old people aren’t ready for the internet. And the same old people are gullible.

Seems a no win scenario.

You should probably check you facts before spewing how dumb a statement is. https://www.thecurrent.com/tv-networks-historic-ratings-drops-nielsen-big-data-panel-vab-reports

The broadcast and cable news isn’t going anywhere.
That’s kinda what I said.
