I’ve never understood the CNN and MSNBC business model. If your goal is to make money through advertising, why would you intentionally alienate half of the potential viewers?

Some would say “they don’t care, they’re only in business to push the liberal-democrat agenda”. To which I say fine, but they’ve already got the hardcore liberal audience, how do they expect to change hearts and minds by preaching to the choir?

Whichever way you cut it, it makes no sense. Fox News has been beating them in every way simply by being centrist and not taking either side. Something they teach in Business 101.

MSNBC, with their latest commercial promoting themselves, have alienated anyone with a brain.

Showing they are part of "changing the world" with clips of a bunch or vermin ridden hippy protesters.

Most news organizations are part of larger entities that are heavily regulated. It pays to be a mouthpiece for Big Government even if you lose viewers.

As long as a social-democratic government (which is what we are becoming) has the power to pick winners and losers in the marketplace, the power to shape public opinion is a very profitable enterprise.
