Oops, They Did It Again: The Mainstream Media Buries Trump’s Outrage

> The former president spent the weekend spewing dangerous nonsense at a rally. The press spent its weekend polishing it into palatability.

They analyzed how it would affect their numbers and determined it would turn off too many MAGA viewers and not attract enough other viewers to make up the difference. News for profit was always a bad idea.

I think I understand your point, but if news isn’t for profit, who would pay the reporters? I used to write for a newspaper and it’s pretty hard work.

It can’t be state sponsored, due to the conflict of interest. If the state pays for the media you couldn’t trust the media to accurately report on the state.

Honestly, in good faith, wondering what the other options would be.

While there are no perfect way. It would be much less of a problem then it is now. And easier for watchdog orgs to pay attention to and call out.
