Let's be honest here: how many people are really still getting their news from one of those formally mainstream outlets? Not a single news outlet is in the top 50 most visited websites. Cable and satellite subscriptions are at an all-time low and nobody even bothers hooking an antenna up to their TV anymore. We all just stream everything. And when's the last time you've seen a newspaper on a driveway? I know I haven't in over a decade.

What I'm saying is that what CNN, NBC, ABC, NYT, etc. don't report on is irrelevant, because nobody gets their news from them anymore. Most people get their news from social media and word-of-mouth.
