Slowly but surely the Lieberall Fake News media is being kicked out of town .
Mr and Mrs Ordinary can now smell the crap and are sick of so called news that turns out to be one shade and sort of lie time after time .
Another great move that will help decent people Make America Great Again .

It's a terrible time for America's liberal media - with companies laying off, implementing hiring freezes, and other cost-cutting measures. Some media companies have even collapsed in valuation. Many are blaming increasing macroeconomic uncertainty that has crushed advertising revenues.
A wave of recent layoffs has hit media companies, including CNN, Buzzfeed, Paramount Global (the parent to CBS, MTV, VH1), The Walt Disney Company, Comcast, Roku, Morning Brew, Gannett (parent company to USA Today), and many more in the past year.
Add Vox Media, which owns brands like The Verge, SB Nation, and New York magazine, to the growing list of media layoffs.
Axios obtained an internal memo from CEO Jim Bankoff to staff about reducing headcount by 7%. About 1,900 people work for the company, which equates to about 133 layoffs.
Bankoff noted that the headcount reduction would impact teams across revenue, editorial, operations, and core services.
Besides layoffs and other cost measures, media company valuations have plunged.
For instance, Vice Media is putting itself up for sale (again) at around a billion-dollar valuation, according to CNBC, citing people familiar with the talks.
Today's number is far from the $5.7 billion valuation in 2017.
CNBC previously reported Vice hired financial advisors to seek a sale.
One of Vice's lenders, Fortress Investment Group, is pushing for a sale.

Meanwhile, Buzzfeed's SPAC is only getting worse -- with a current market cap of $129 million -- down from more than a billion dollars a year ago.
