I must laugh at legacy media trying fight YouTube when I see ads for a trial of YouTube TV with those very legacy groups as part of the package. In the end, what's at stake here are eyeballs watching video and the associated commercial ads that goes along with it. I would contend it's that advertising revenue more than what some editor wants people to believe that's ultimately driving this narrative. Legacy media is just struggling with cord cutting and a younger generation that's drifting away from them.
