The mainstream media have never been friends of conservatives, but their approach to news - and political news in particular - is far different than it was just a few decades ago. But the media landscape is also very different than it was a generation ago. In today's special edition, Jim and Greg assess the good, the bad, and the crazy of today's media.

Some conservatives may wonder what's good about the media. The simple answer is we have exponentially more options today to seek out and discover the news. Not that long ago, a few different news organizations dictated which stories you would hear about. That's not true anymore. Jim and Greg discuss the challenges that brings but also the opportunity for Americans to have a far more comprehensive idea of what is really happening.

Then, they dive into the biggest problem in our political media - the glaring shift from a leftward bias to leftward partisanship. They explain the difference, how quickly that evolution happened, and why it's such a significant and damaging change to our news and our politics.

Finally, they discuss an inevitable consequence of a never-ending news cycle - media burnout. With an avalanche of stories in our news feeds every day, many people are getting exhausted by it and simply don't pay attention anymore. Is that a good trend or will it lead to a more uninformed public?
