Media Reversal Post-Election

The media's response to the recent election has seen a noteworthy reversal, with outlets subtly shifting their narratives after a tumultuous three weeks leading up to the election. This period was illustrated as sensational and often deranged, resembling a contrast ad where positive messaging was overshadowed by negative critiques of opposing candidates. Major news programs transitioned from neutral reporting to hyperbolic portrayals, particularly in their coverage of election-related news, leading to a stark decline in viewership for some networks. The discussion highlighted how MSNBC, for example, is witnessing viewer migration towards more balanced platforms like Fox News as audiences re-evaluate their media consumption.
