Like so many other corporations — news media has felt the pressure of capitalism deeply. However, other companies have managed not to sunk to the deeps of manipulation the news media has. Mom & Pop shops all over this country went under during COVID. But you don’t see them spilling venom & blaming anyone in particular for their bad run of fortune 24/7 on national TV. Watching the news, IMHO, is tantamount to being in an abusive relationship. And I’m not in the place where I can forgive the abuser who turned from a trusted ally to an emotional vampire. Personally, I think if they all went bankrupt tomorrow — the world would be a better AND SAFER place.
