I call BS - don’t humanize corporations, they do what they can to maximize profit.
Media is being helpful; without media’s work corporations would still present things in good light for them, only now without third parties involved. Consumers would not benefit from that.
- Mountain_Skies 2y agoWhat about media corporations? The vast majority of media are part of a small number of huge profit seeking corporations.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThey aren't exactly guilt free either if bewtween the horrible compensation model and a revenue incentive that decreases the quality of their wriing. But two wrongs don't make a right.
- thih9 2y agoI guess one more reason not to claim that corporations are suffering from evil media’s savagery - they’re all corporations after all. Plus, having corporations keep each other in check still sounds helpful to me.
- marcosdumay 2y ago> Plus, having corporations keep each other in check still sounds helpful to me. For the ~4 centuries we've had stuff similar to corporations, that never worked anywhere. Corporations will always cartelize and try to protect each other.
- thih9 2y agoNote that I said this sounds helpful, I never said this should be the only measure. There are laws against anticompetitive behavior. Also, about corporations always protecting each other, this looks incorrect, e.g.: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_warfare https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_warfare
