TV news networks talk about the Deep State -- tangentially -- but not in heavy detail. Not on CNN, MSNBC or even Fox News Channel. Some references are made about the FBI, the Justice Department and other vague officials. Is it fact or myth?

Twitter grew by double-digit percentages to 330 million monthly active users as of the fourth quarter 2017, the fifth consecutive quarter of growth. And Donald Trump's usage promotes the social-media service daily.

It's time for TV networks to do some Monday morning quarterbacking about digital media. Did they realize a decade ago what impact streaming services would have?
