aired at a loss. It was something to do, that needed to be done. Then, it was discovered large profits could be made off news and in came tabloid news reporting and huge profits. Now it's just viewership. The MSM for the most part could give a F what they air, all that counts is the bottom line. Then we have the outrageous sums of money they make off elections.
The 2012 election will be a huge win for MSM, and all of the controversy leading up, and now. And if there is no controversy the MSM will invent news to stir it up. This is a ridiculous place. And now what do we have, about 5 mega-conglomerates owning just about all of the media. The propaganda and disinformation in this country is incredible and well might be the undermining of America in the long run.
Here's something to view if you've not seen it ... It reveals a lot about what is going on IMO. Some of it might be offensive. I'm partway through it, but I started watching it because I did not feel change was coming. It's pretty clear to me a few percent own and run this country. The rest is window dressing and MSM plays a huge role in this, and they also get zillions in profit. The majority of Americans are being played as fools.
