Perhaps because the economic business model MSM organizations are based on will never give up a winning financial strategy. Bad news, outrage, sensationalism, and the horse race bring the eyeballs that the ads demand. People in those organizations are needing to pay their mortgages and rent. The MSM is not a service. It’s a business out to make as much money as possible. The fact that that reality doesn’t help create a strong citizenry, doesn’t seem to matter too much. Would citizens ever consider paying the true price for truthful information? Would citizens ever consider pushing for true accountability for all publishers of information? We have not so far.

What a stench is coming from your irresponsible media, they really need to purge themselves and relearn their job. And to break free of lobbies once and for all.

And yes, those all-powerful lobbies are the lowest of swamp life, their stranglehold on Congress is incompatible with democratic governance.
