I think it should be illegal for programs to profit off of news. Broadcasting news should be a public service. Congress should ban news programs from having commercials.

In the past, TV news was outside of the profits focused portion.

So, the government should directly control all news.

“I think it should be illegal for programs to profit off of news. Broadcasting news should be a public service.”

Then the only news you would get would be from PBS.

Just tune into NPR for that flavor of spin. The function of news programs is to get audience. That people think the news “informs” them is just an artifact of public gullibility.
