The Importance of Mainstream Culture in News

i want to try to connect this conversation to another phenomenon that is clearly happening, which is the demise of main stream culture. And the nineties are interesting. Clearly something happened in between the 19 nineties and the two thousands that seemd to spell maybe the final inning of the illusion of the american monoculture. That was an period of manufactured scarcity. There were only three or four television channels. We're not going to go back to it. It has never happened again. So e it felt like ow that that had happened once, it feels like it happened to a much higher degree at the end of the nineties. I i don't know if that is the case.
