"In 2011, crude oil was trading at nearly $120 per barrel on the NYMEX. High oil prices were sustained until mid-2014, when prices crashed from $100 per barrel down to less than $50. While consumers rejoiced at lower gas prices, oil and gas producers scrambled to stay profitable.

At $120 per barrel, fracking is a very profitable business. At lower prices, companies are forced to weigh the cost of expensive fracking compared to less expensive extraction methods.

The most expensive oil produced in the United States today comes from older wells known as “stripper wells.” These are aging oil and gas wells that only produce a few barrels per day. The maintenance cost on the wells does not decline with oil prices, and these wells become unprofitable around $40 per barrel."

If they are owned by mega-corps with supposedly deep pockets, then why are they in such dire straights? Are you suggesting said mega-corpse are intentionally defunding them?

Or maybe (more plausibly) it could be that said mega-corps aren't going to subsidize local news who are consistently in the red, and instead let them fail and close down.

Maybe these subsidies will bring them back into the black and allow local news to continue to operate in the black and not be shut down by said mega corps?

Do you not see value in local news??

What was Biden thinking pulling a Johnathan Stewart on national TV like that done during Browns vs Giants game.

Now R.Kelly that guy was a nut. I mean who likes to Pee on under age girls...

oh... oh I am sorry sorry you actually voted for the Orange guy who LIKED getting Peed on by underage girls.

Hey Republicans, am I right; you would rather worry about what mustard a president uses rather than whether he is promoting Goya Beans in the White house.

Because they are not in dire straits.

Don’t you remember like four years ago when the media across-the-board had that big giant push about how the media industry was losing money and everybody should subscribe to different media organizations and outlets instead of just getting it for free in the Internet was destroying the news?

Well the only people that were saying that we’re media outlets.

And now those same media outlets are spinning the same yarn about how social media is turning us all against each other never mind cable news!

And the lobbyists convinced the politicians that they should get tax breaks that’s all this is it’s not some great thing if you think the tax breaks to the news and media that you didn’t even know it was going to happen until after it happened is anything more than lobbyists slipping that shit into the $1 trillion bills that nobody fucking reads then I don’t know what to say.

I wish I could live a life that optimistic.

When you own a local news station you dont subsidize it, it's not like that. You write the scripts, pay the employee's and tell them what to say and you collect the profits. (which hurt if you have to pay your employee's unless you have lobbyists that convince americans to pay them for you)

Sinclair now does not have to pay 50k of each of its its employees that work at 294 television stations it owns across the country.
