> #NoBloodMoney - media companies should not profit off of other's misery. What about informing the public, though? The logical conclusion to this idea is that news organisations will have less incentive to cover news stories that result in human death. Is that really what we want? Incidentally, a number of news organisations already have a CMS flag for content of this nature anyway, which in many ways presents more problems - how tragic is sufficiently tragic to block ads? The real problem here is profit-based news. The answer is already out there in the form of the BBC and other public news outlets that do not depend on advertising. Alas, the US is not coming close to such a model any time soon.
