Not to come off as green ink, but this narrows the implicit incentive to find news (eg mostly gossip) and perhaps even incite a little drama to make quota now and then. It's like the investment timescale of a stockbroker vs Warren Buffett (G.G.). Basically this trend kills off more potential investigative journalism stories that would actually matter, or requires a bunch of popular crap stories to fund them.
