There are people on YouTube that have a larger audience than daytime CNN.

The corporate press has identified the problem: The decentralization of information.
The bigger issue for them- A lot more people have identified them as the problem.
There are too many YouTube channels, too many blogs, too many alternatives. They keep popping up every year. Severe lock downs on these platforms will destroy the very platform. The more they push, the more decentralized the network becomes. I do not see how they could possible put this genie back in the bottle. Matt Taibbi post a warning to them all here. Will they listen? Nope. The people in the media are not very bright. They are not strategic at all. They lack judgment. It is a dying industry. It loses legitimacy every day. Good riddance. They never earned it.
