- FrustratedMonky 3y ago'insightful' is a bit of a stretch. It is only factual in that news/media desire conflict in order to gain attention and sales. Conflict is part of the business model. But, both ways. Fox wants to foment conflict as much as CNN. But the comment is staged as one directional, 'If Trump Wins', then 'They', will be up in arms to write stories about it. As if the reporting on the right is 'holier', more 'altruistic'. This is completely false. Edit: Thought on re-reading OP comment, 'them' could just refer to generic 'media', and not be right/left. It shows how even language is getting warped. Frequently right leaning news uses 'They' for every type of boogie man. So if a comment has 'They' it sounds right leaning.
- CPLX 3y agoI don’t see it as controversial at all. The major news media organizations were able to capitalize and make more money due to increased demand for content involving Trump from both those who support and oppose him. It’s just a mathematical fact. Many news organizations report revenue and viewership figures that bear this out.
