Problem being: opinion pieces are cheap and very entertaining if your audience agrees with you. Investigative journalism is expensive and can be boring, not to mention potentially bad for ad revenue.
- deepsquirrelnet 4y agoExactly. People have spent the last 20 years voluntarily addicting themselves to rage porn, and now we’re surprised that this is the product that is being sold? I always find this discussion so disingenuous. We KNOW why the media isn’t trustworthy. This country needs to look in the mirror and realize that we are being sold the things that we keep buying. If you don’t like untrustworthy media, stop consuming it. Don’t read it. Don’t watch it. Don’t pay for it, or allow a company to monetize you. The capitalist mirror is simply reflecting the ugliness that is already there.
