If you actually printed informative news about real life, then people would read it on their own time, think "Hmm, interesting" and go back to work/sleep/life outside the system. Thus reducing the revenue of the media outlets by thousands of %

If facebook/twitter wanted to stop hate speech, or end racism like the ALTleft wants it to so bad, they wouldnt ban nazi's or hate speek or TRUMP from their social media outlets, they'd ban the ability to share any media on their platform. No vox, no jezzebelle, no CNN, no fox, no media.
Their are a lot of problems with this arguement. First of all, lets point out that the mainstream media is dying or argubly already dead. Less than 20% of people get their news from T.V. anymore. Over half the population get's their news exclusively from the internet. This trend continues and the big networks are unable to capture internet news consumers.

Secondly, News producers like Rupert Murdoch (a billionaire British propagandist that owns newcorp -> Fox News) commonly interfere with the way news is reported. They litterly will pick up of the phone and say "I want to see more about this Ted Bundy Guy." Or perhaps "Martin Bashir talks too much about the wealthy and not enough about race." So this hand's off idea that they are just in it for the news sales money is retarded. Generally News corporations lose money but are still useful for big owners.

Finally, news does change the way people act. That's why the entire media is now owned by about 7 different richer families that aggressively expand despite that it makes little finical sense. There's not even such thing as local news anymore -- no joke. Those outlets are owned by parent companies that dish out the same unpopular, bland, horseshit that is regurgitated on the national stage. If anything like the radical press of Enland in the early 20th century popped up -- it would be a problem for the news owners.

understand and agree are different things. he seems to take issue with your contention that social disorder is the fault of troublemaking media entities rather than societal conditions.

i not really given it much thought for long time, but i feel that social disorder just a result of pervasive idiocy throughout the social/political spectrum afflicting dullard and prodigy alike. one thing i come to understand with time is that smart people are often as equally indiscriminate in their indifference to truth and untruth as dullards are. free will is bogus. choice is probabilistic based on experience, but always a random die is cast. man has arrested his own evolution I preservationist his least desirable traits for longterm survival :c

I took issue with. You are implying that the news is done the way it is done because it is more profitable this way -- and if we had reporters explaining how the RNC and DNC are corrupted -- profits would shrink because news is currently giving people what they want.

But people -- in mass -- hate the fucking news and what its become. This wasn't always the case. LBJ once said: “If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America.” Then decided not to run based at least partially on that reporters opinion!

T.V. doesn't make a lot of money anymore...so no one wants to spend anything making it good. That simple. This is a lot more of the story than anything about the people deciding they want shitty news.

And you also appear to be naive about why people own news networks...it is rarely because it directly gives them better returns than other investments would. It's because it can be indirectly used to get higher returns on other holdings.

This is all typical Gen X nihilism though. People are stupid because they are born that way and that's why everything is going to shit. There's nothing we can do about it except point it out so we can feel superior.

1. I said it doesnt matter what people "in mass" want because the only people that are the target audence for the news are the minority, because people "in mass" do not share news links.
2. news is about money and so if you print news that apeals to the "in mass" people then they get less clicks, and make less money off of advertising.
3. The minority of idiots are all about hype, they are loud and soapboxing triggered morans SO:
4. the news is about hype.
5. the reason its about hype is because its a for profit business and we'll circle back to, the loudest and most proliffic sharer's of news are morans that are only interested in HYPE

what I am saying is, if you want news to change, to answer spiders post that I was replying to, I dont know why Im replyign to you becuse clearly you are stupid and cannot listen or read, the only way would be if social media blocked media links on their websites, which would take away the voice the small % of people who share the largest % of news links had.

A SMALL NUMBER OF IDIOTS SHARE THE MOST NEWS WHICH MAKES THE MOST PROFITABLE NEWS THE TYPE OF NEWS THE SMALL NUMBER OF IDIOTS LIKE TO SHARE
