I'm sure MSNBC will be propped up by tax dollars soon.
As a veteran of the media, I've always found it very telling that conservative media can always stand on its own and turn a handsome profit while spinning off new profitable ventures (witness AFR with stations all over the US and its film affiliate) while leftist media always fails (witness Air America-bankrupt in only six years) or Pacifica (5 stations) or NPR (partially propped up by tax dollars).
The plain truth is, people will pay for and view or listen to viewpoints that are most like their own. As a result, they willingly contribute money to support these voices whether tax-deductible or not. My question is this: If conservatism is "dying out"-as I've been told by leftists-why is conservative media so popular and profitable?
OBAMA SCANDALS KILLING HIS MINION MEDIA

MSNBC, Fox News head in opposite directions for ratings
Barack Obama is not the only one feeling the heat from a series of recent scandals.
Apparently, news media generally sympathetic to the president’s agenda are plunging as well.
According to Deadline.com, “after double-digit gains during last year’s presidential election, May 13-17 saw the progressive-aligned [MSNBC] hit new lows as the IRS scandal erupted and revelations that the Justice Department secretly obtained AP records became public.”
MSNBC recorded its least-watched and lowest-rated total-day results of the year last week, with 350,000 viewers on average and 94,000 in the adults 25-54 demographic.
According to ratings data from Nielsen, that was also the lowest total-day demographic result the network experienced in the past seven years, specifically since the week of June 26-July 2, 2006, when MSNBC attracted only 83,000 viewers among adults 25-54.
MSNBC’s total day results last week plummeted 17 percent in viewers and 22 percent among the demographic from the comparable May 14 to May 18 week of last year.
And during primetime viewing in the evening, the picture was even worse, as MSNBC’s steady decline from the start of 2013 continued.
“The network had 570,000 total viewers and 159,000 in the demo from 8-11 PM from May 13 to May 17, 2013. That’s the lowest-rated week of the year so far for MSNBC in terms of viewers and the third-lowest of 2013 in the demo,” reported Deadline.
