[QUOTE="JMN, post: 340346, member: 8469"] The news, on all mediums, needs to be renamed "Be scared of this now" until tomorrow when they need somehting new. Covid has given them the absolute best thing ever. They can play against each other and play people into watching them more and more to get more stuff they need to you to be worried about so you tune in tomorrow and their advertisers pay them. They don't have to work nearly as hard to come up with something scary to put on the paper now. Nobody looking for dead animals to put on the news, nobody having to find some car wreck to put on the news. Now they don't need something new every day, week, or even month. They are not information brokers. They are now entertainers who's positions started off as salesmen selling Chesterfields and Chryslers while the guys in the tech rooms got the next reel of film loaded. The news sells. it sells fear. The radio personalities sell it too. (edit:<------------------If you agree, think about this sentence.) Ever notice nothing objectively good seems to happen in the news? Not an accident. [/QUOTE]
