Online news channels like TYT get way more viewership than CNN or CNBC. Hell, even smaller YouTube channels have better viewership.

People are sick of the corporate bootlicking crap. There's major right wing channels funded by billionaires, there's corporate channels that are dying off, and there's left wing channels funded by viewer small dollar donations.
