CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, which have faced restrictions on directly covering President Donald Trump's activities for repeatedly spreading false news, decided not to publish certain content related to his presidential agenda and are now suffering the consequences.
At the same time, independent media outlets and platforms
that continued to disseminate information about Trump's activities reported a
significant increase in viewership.
The situation has also drawn attention to Trump TV, the
platform used to broadcast administration events and activities, which has seen
a surge in viewership. Just hours after the channel, named after the President,
was launched, millions of people subscribed and are now following its content.
The episode reflects the changes taking place in how the
American public consumes political information, with a greater presence of
digital platforms, live broadcasts, and independent media compared to
traditional channels, which, according to citizens, disseminate distorted
information.
Digital and independent media measurements are reporting
record-high reach.
