Fox Business anchor John Stossel told the Atlantic Wire about his media diet this week. He admits to occasionally watching MSNBC (“Rachel Maddow is the best but her love of big government gets under my skin”) and reflects on the recent changes he sees in the TV news business:
It is a little sad how the media is compartmentalized now. It used to feel like there was a community when everybody shared the same media. You had three TV channels and all your neighbors read The New York Times. But it was far sadder back then because The Times covered the spectrum of news from the left and the extreme left and people at ABC thought that was real life. At least now they know there’s a different point of view.
