People are turning to alternative news sources more swiftly than ever now, and as a result, the old guard of media is collapsing at free-fall speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 6 positive signs of the collapse of mainstream media:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Mainstream Media is Owned by a Handful of Corporations and the People Know It<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret anymore that nearly everything we see, read, and hear comes from just a handful of mega-corporations. Thanks to the alternative media, it has become a widely known fact that\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/2015\/08\/28\/the-illusion-of-choice-90-of-american-media-controlled-by-6-corporations\/\" target=\"_blank\">just six corporations control 90% of the media we consume<\/a>. These big six have the ability to make key decisions and delegate the news to their lower subsidiary companies by cutting out important stories or alternative points of view. People recognize this and are moving over to the indy media\u00a0as a result.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><ins id=\"aswift_1_expand\"><ins id=\"aswift_1_anchor\"><iframe id=\"aswift_1\" name=\"aswift_1\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n<h3>2. Fox Stops Disclosing Live Viewership Ratings<\/h3>\n<p>Fox News, a subsidiary company owned by Rupert Murdoch of News Corp and top mainstream media outlet has just announced that it will stop disclosing its ratings for live TV viewership. They argue that these statistics are no longer relevant because of how many record their television shows, but it is also being seen as a way to hide a decaying audience. Fox will now be repackaging statistics on a weekly basis to make even the most modest results appear positive.<\/p>\n<h3>3. 98% of Young Adults Do Not Trust Mainstream Media<\/h3>\n<p>A recent poll shows that\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/049640_mainstream_media_free_press_trust_poll.html\" target=\"_blank\">only 2% of young adults trust the mainstream media to do the \u201cright thing\u201d on a regular basis<\/a>.
