Please don't misunderstand, the Yahoo newsfeed is part of the problem. I don't know how many people subscribe to it, however, let's use it as an example. It likely isn't a lot of people, and they likely are older (like some Boomers, some GenXers).

The idea being floated is to change the makeup of the occupants/invitees of the small room (holds about 4 dozen seats) for press conferences.

The idea would be to arrange for podcasters to be in the mix, and possibly exclude dying organizations with low viewer #'s such as CNN and MSNBC.

My point being the 'news' you refer to is dying off, with low ratings and sparse viewership except in a shrinking demographic.

I think it's safe to say more people watch Joe Rogan than CNN. Is it news? Sometimes. Does it ask tough questions, mostly yes.

Why not keep the lying MSM in the room for the obvious contrast?

I reckon this is implied in Kenn's suggestion Will's son.

He suggested only CNN and MSNBC. Perhaps he himself implied more?

Why not ABC, CBS, NBC, and say PBS?

Then go to the real news (once known as the Alt-News)

Possibly exclude and such as, is what I responded to.

The mix would be interesting. Possible label: 'The Return of Real Reporters'
