When they just had to sale one hour of news every day they could easily fill it with mostly straight facts (unless the source was the government), but when they created 24 hour news channels they had to include a lot of "opinion" and "analysis" to fill up all that time. And when you start selling opinions everyone starts trying to make their take the hottest. So we end up with lots of extremists yelling at each other or just creating conflict in order to yell at each other.
Too true
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.
