In what way could it make it worse?  Did somebody try do a "Breaking Bad"?

I don't have any issue with most of the content, the companies tend to be bad, but not the channels (mostly). I voted neutral.

I only watch it for sports, so I guess better.

It's made college football and the news eminently worse, so massive HP.

I think worse because it sensationalizes news, creates political echo chambers, and helps politicians get elected through charisma instead of policy.

Lean negative because what happened to news and the heightening of Reality TV.

It definitely played a part in getting good animated shows rolling again though.

TV seems to be declining, with the big exception of sports.
