simply to broadcast whatever Trump says, you really don't need a lot of people.

I bet if they gave Elon a couple of weeks, he could deliver a BlitzerBot that provides all the insight, illumination, and journalistic integrity as the human version.

I am sure some of the people in all networks are decent people. But they are not journalists and they are not doing the job the founding fathers expected of the media. So it really is time for all of them to go. I hope those who actually want to do real journalism find rewarding positions in the new media world. But for those who are just looking for a paycheck while continuing to be nothing but obsequious, no sympathy from me. Get a job selling real estate or insurance or cars or something. Let's save our energy for the 5% of them who have a real commitment to defend our democracy and Constitution.
