Sign Off: How Losing the Evening News Divided Us From Walter Cronkite's final "And that's the way it is" in 1981 to Trump TV launching on YouTube in September 2026, this article traces the collapse of America's shared media reality. thestateoftherepublic.substack.com/p/sign-off?u...

* Just days before Richard Nixon's official resignation on August 9— his approval dropped to an all-time low of 24%, while his disapproval soared to 66%. This stands as the second-lowest presidential approval rating ever recorded by Gallup, just above Harry Truman’s 22% in 1952 *

Good! It’s about time you journalists stopped allowing him to verbally abuse you. Trust me, nobody gives a shit about anything he has to say. We’re sick of his lies, vile hatred and verbal abuse.

The dumb, fat, racist, rapist fuck has used the press to stay relevant and spread disinformation for a decade. Fuck him. Fuck the capitulating press. Just cause the LAST part of the ship is on fire, NOW they want to act like they have values? This is how it should have been since 2016. Fuck greed.

We have to work on voter turnout, which is going to be more difficult this year because #MAGA has declared war on free & fair #Elections. #Republicans are now cheating behind the scenes, but don’t let them keep you away from the polls on election day. #VoteBlue2026

Should have happened a lot sooner and half the issues probably would’ve not gotten steam behind. If a bully has no platform, we get silence till the clot catches up…🤔

What did we miss? One of the richest men in the world who is a complete dope, whining about how tough his life is and bragging about things that aren’t actually true. Oh and the constant airing of grievances. You know what? media should’ve pulled this stunt back in 2015. Maybe we’d still be ok.

The thing with Trump, I suppose, is that the media doesn't pick up on all the crap and crazy stuff he says. It’s all about keeping him quiet until after the election, I guess...
