It's like music to see the once proud liberal media monopoly die a slow death. The music which comes to mind is from the Sound of Music "So long, Farewell:"

There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

coo-coo Regretfully they tell us
coo-coo But firmly they compel us
to say goodnight
coo-coo
To you
...
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
