for profit organization's mission is primarily make money.
- WalterBright 4y agoFortunately, they can only make money by pleasing their customers.
- pastacacioepepe 4y agoPleasing their customers != Telling them the truth You also forget about the role of shareholders.
- WalterBright 4y agoDefrauding customers is against the law in free market economies.
- pastacacioepepe 4y agoCurious how it still happens all the time, on every degree of free market from lasseiz-faire to state capitalism.
- squokko 4y agoThis is not even remotely true. Making your customers angry is a much more profitable media strategy than "pleasing" them. All studies have replicated the consumption of more news with more negative emotions because "if it bleeds, it leads." People make poor rational choices with alcohol, drugs, junk food, media, and pretty much everything else.
- WalterBright 4y ago> This is not even remotely true. Does that mean you regret nearly every purchase you make? > Making your customers angry As a businessman, I can attest that making my customers angry is very unprofitable. > People make poor rational choices with alcohol, drugs, junk food, media, and pretty much everything else. That doesn't mean they aren't pleased with their purchase.

- nomel 4y agoYou're not making people angry with anything related to your business of presenting news. Guests and topics may make people angry, but that's an externality.
