Why Media Failure Is A Major Story Of Our Time The following is a transcript of my radar on Thursday’s edition of “Rising” on Hill TV.

But if newspapers still mattered today, media criticism would belong front and center just about every single morning. The daily failures of the legacy media are so severe and so damaging, they now deserve just as much attention as the very news our news media is failing to cover.
