re: I expect ratings for all news sources to drop

Honestly I'm watching and reading far less "news" in the last month or so. It's become so uninformative, boring, and predictable. And I don't care what some music sports or acting "star" thinks, says, or does, but that was about 45% of the content last I checked.

I'm not big on confirmation bias, and have always watched/read sources from both sides to try and understand the entire issue (even though most left/Democrat/liberal/progressive/commie thought process is just bizarre and intellectually dishonest). But it all just sucks now and is such a waste.

The constant 24 hour news machine was the second worst thing to happen to the news, after the overt politicization of those who produce and "create" it.
