"Gallup polling shows that for 69 percent of Americans, trust in the media has fallen over the last decade. Among Republicans, it’s 94 percent; for independents, it’s 75 percent and for moderates it’s 66." They bought up and shuttered the local papers and kept no right-wingers.

No, it’s just based on some contract they got decades ago. They established their reputation as the neutral, go-to for live events in the early 1990s, with the first Gulf War. Degrading products can get locked-in for years if you do some favors for a corporate buyer.
