Only for relatively low values of N. It’s really difficult to scale organizations up and down for election cycles.
Historically you’d quickly reach a point where each additional writer was more expensive than the last.
- tstrimple 4mo agoThey aren't scaled down between election cycles. The media ecosystem is almost fully captured by the billionaire class. We've seen directly how they change coverage and policies tilting things. Fox News never shut down between elections. They are always in campaign mode and the money keeps rolling in.
- Retric 4mo agoThat’s the low N I was talking about. As long as you can use those writers to operate a business near profitably then they are really cheap, but FOX can’t profitably employ 100,000 writers.
