In a recent discussion, Lake expressed a sense of satisfaction at what she describes as a "meltdown" within the mainstream media. She cites a decline in viewership and ratings among outlets like CNN and MSNBC, suggesting that these organizations face an existential crisis if they do not adapt to the changing tide of public opinion. According to Lake, these outlets have grown "fat and happy," leading to their current jeopardy in an era where the media landscape is in flux.
