I agree, as others have said in this post/thread, advertising seems to be at least some of the cause of the problem. But it doesn't seem any other economic model works, sadly.
I'm curious about your comment about NPR and BBC. Granted, it seems like they have moved more towards the stupidity that we're describing. But not as much as the traditional news networks, in my opinion.
- ratsmack 5y agoYes, the BBC and NPR are not as bad, but you can see the creep in that direction.
- joshspankit 5y agoI genuinely feel that CNN’s choice to go for 24hr ad-supported news was the majority of the reason they can no longer be trusted to be objective. When your news runs on ads you’ll optimize for ad watch time and not integrity.
