12/7 - Terrorist attack

(12-17-2021, 04:21 PM)Sociopathicsteelerfan Wrote: I get that, but I don't know if I agree with your conclusion.  I also think comparing print media to television/internet media isn't a great comparison as fewer and fewer people rely on print media.  I think if a media outlet came out that just reported straight facts without bias, made a clear separation between op-ed and the hard news, and had both a right and left leaning pundit they would have a much bigger audience than you believe.

I liken it to the current trend towards fast food that only does one thing.  For a very long time the trend was for fast food locations to have more and more variety.  Now the really popular franchises are your Raising Canes, In 'n Out, Chick Fil-A, etc. that focus one doing one thing well.  I honestly believe that many people are starved for real news and it would do much better than you think.

I throw print in there because their business model is the same. They are selling eyes to advertisers. I think my cynicism lies in how highly rated these stations and programs tend to be. There is a lot of noise about how bad these outlets are, but then the people who complain about the ones they disagree with are indulging in the ones that are as bad or worse that they do agree with. That's just what I see 90% of the time.
