When the Venture Capital runs out, these sites fail .... why aren't leftists supporting leftist journalists
The sites are failing, nobody believes their bullshit anymore or wants to put up with leftist rage bait attacks on the other half of the country.
When people can find the truth on random YouTube Channels and Blogs
I've witnessed far too many left wing start ups fail in an attempt to counter the vast presence of right wing outlets on radio and the Internet.
As even left wing punditry grasped - if your message is - those guys suck - you will run out of listeners and readers before long.
If YOUR side is the one dropping rocks off the bridge onto the Beltway (METAPHORICALLY speaking, of course) - then - you won't have people paying attention - but if you're the side GETTING rocks dropped on them - you'll have followers for years.
The Dems sort of know this - they've mastered playing victim across the board with different groups - but when the major TV outlets and newspapers all carry YOUR message, it's hard to convince a public that YOU are the side being set upon. It's just easier for Navy to hate Notre Dame - than the other way around.
So - why do outlets like Stewart's old The Daily Show - or late night hosts - succeed - somewhat? Aside from the fact that it is a visual medium - its brief. When I was growing up, it was common for us to watch Johnny's monologue - and then go to bed.
