News in this election > Rexroad.com

I pressed unpublish by mistake when I tried to fix something on the post about Fox News. Let me finish my broader observation.

I really don't like Fox News. That is my view. I don't think it is fair or balanced. I think other people give better coverage to the stories. My ipod has lots of NPR on there. Do I agree with all of the stuff? No -- but I think it has better information. Between the newspapers, blogs, books, and tv coverage that I get my news from I try to sift out that stuff that comes along.

Here is my broader point -- This is the last election where network news is going to matter. People are getting their news more and more from their computers. I only watch SNL on television about half the time. The rest of the time it comes right here on my computer.

As blogs and the internet continue to make their way into the world of providing news we will see newspapers and network news head to the sidelines. Take a look at what is happening to newspapers and the ratings of news broadcasts. Compare that with what Jon Stewart is doing.

The news networks are not going to be able to compete. I think newspapers are less and less able to compete.

By the time we face the next Presidential Election the entire method by which we get information will have changed.
