who cares who they fired though, no one watches the MSM anymore. If you wanted real news, people streamed it live without any censorship.

and it wasn't the corporate news that people tuned in for real coverage. no censorship, just the raw video.

Dowd would be better off working for new Media. OLD MEDIA is just like print newspapers, irrelevant.
