Newspapers used to hire editorialists known as “sob sisters”, who only kept their jobs by writing editorials so obnoxious that the paper would get hate mail. It was assumed that people that upset would continue to buy the paper to continue to be upset.
No hate mail and they were immediately fired. Some of them went to the length of sending themselves hate mail.
