Jones fretted that streamers and podcasters are bringing in views that cable news cannot come close to touching.

I remember once randomly turning on CNN maybe 5 years or so ago. It was just people yelling at each other. Maybe I got unlucky but I don't want to watch people angry at each other. Perhaps I picked a bad time and it's not normally like that but what I saw was enough to turn me away.

I mean 90% of the time it's not news, just opinions.
