I don't think it's more complicated than money in either case. Businesses are increasing consolidated and have market pressure to show not just profits but increasing profits year over year. Government agencies are affected by a combination of regulatory capture and a half century of austerity

> I don't think it's more complicated than money in either case. The trick is to make it look more complicated than that, so no one follows the money. If somebody does, call them names. If calling them a Luddite conspiracy theorist doesn't work because you used to employ them as an expert and they have a long track record, just say that they're bolstering or emboldening or platforming Luddite conspiracy theorists (who might also be racist-adjacent China-deniers.) You buy a media in order to use it.
