What do you think is more likely:
1. News media decides how long to keep a story active in the news cycle in order to push a narrative.
2. News media reacts to the attention a story received and keeps popular stories active longer to sell more ads.
- rdtsc 7y agoActually not sure. I guess even for 2, why is there more attention received for some vs others? So it's a bit tautological / recursive. The media is in the middle of the feedback loop, it can both generate attention and react to it. Given that position they push a narrative if it gets more ad views.
