When you go back to 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020....the election cycle was mostly controlled by NPR, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and the three big TV networks.
I will suggest....this group has turned the corner and now facing a period where their 'product' (influenced news) cannot compete against the top ten podcast groups (Tucker Carlson, Timcast, Rogan, Valuetainment, Trigonometry, Megyn Kelly, Lex Fridman, etc).
Among independent voters, I'd say almost half of them will be influenced more by podcast folks rather than TV or radio situations.
Even among young Democratic voters....I'd take a guess that one-third of them are greatly influenced by the podcast crowd.
This loss of respect on TV and radio? Yeah, I'd say it bothers them greatly....unable to generate 'gain'.
The fact that Trump might be ready and willing to be interviewed by any of them, while Biden avoids them? That's a problem as well.
All of this....forcing people to actually sit and listen to a conversation....instead of a lecture? Yeah, and this is one of the odd aspects of reality in 2024. The CNN lecture people or the NPR lecture people.....aren't going to have much value in the election.
