Growing

What does it mean when one cable network continues to grow and the other networks decline? Why does that happen? What is the motivation for some people to switch from one to the other? It is understandable that print media declines because fewer and fewer people get their news from newspapers. Primarily, older people read newspapers, the young never fully got the habit. The old standby news-magazines, Time and Newsweek are also in severe decline. Entertainment and comedy TV shows have a steady following. For some individuals it is the only place from which they get their news. They serve a purpose for many to get information, albeit in an oblique and mostly superficial manner. The whole truth is never presented. Educated persons are not satisfied with partial truths, they want it all, even if it means that it does not fit neatly into their personal outlook on life. Once getting the whole truth a person is more capable to live a life to the fullest, and it feels good. That is why they migrate to a place from which they can get it.
