They claim, to their shareholders, to be all about ratings and eyeballs - but when their ratings go up, and Americans get interested and educated, they shut it all down. There is no media market in this country, except for foreign governments and billionaire playboys like Jeff Bezos. Fucking presstitutes.
Ain't that the truth though? I am pretty sure I would pay a bit of money every day to have some real journalism done in my home town about all the local stuff happening, fun human interest stories, local sports, etc. but damn it if that is impossible to do at a profit but as soon as something pops up that could be interesting the "journalists" snuff the story out in favor of moral preaching and hype for inane bullshit.
I love their full page spreads about the crazy shit the communist party has done to Falun Gong members. It is so nuts, I can't help but nervously laugh and try to pretend it isn't real or perhaps they are exaggerating.

The Epoch Times does this but not at the local level.
