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.

He went on to note that, even if the tape is real, it supports the claims of both Brown and Wilsons supporters and is not of much evidentiary value. If Obama's DOJ deems it to be of evidentiary value, it'll definitely have evidentiary value, whether it does or not.

The DOJ/FBI are probably the ones who created the audio. /s

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

Voice analysis has shown that the voice on the tape belongs to Zaharie Shah, the pilot of MH370, lost in March on a flight from Malaysia to Beijing.

So, the government should directly control all news.
Got it.

In the past, TV news was outside of the profits focused portion.Not because of any high principle: it was there to fill airtime - much cheaper to produce than other entertainment.

They look like such fools, how is this any different?

Maybe CNN found those NBC producers who blew up the car a few years back or the ones who produced the faked typed info for Rather.

Didn’t say the government, now did I?
The MSM creates “news” to generate profits. They worked up the crowds in Ferguson to increase their ratings to make more money.
If the liberals are so high and mighty, they should broadcast the news for free!
I was going to put a sarcasm tag in May original post, but didn’t because I wanted to see what type of response I’d get.

It was more than that, the news divisions felt they were a public service above profit, and much of a network’s public image was in it’s news division and news readers.

The more sound or video footage that can be found or produced for an incident is the direct driver of the airtime and evaluation of worth as a News Story.
Media News is therefore independent of real events or actual evaluation of the specifics.

The game changer was 60 Minutes, which showed that the news divisions could produce profitable programming.
But I’m not sure it really matters. Back before profits were introduced the news divisions at least tried (mostly) to present the appearance of unbiased professionalism.
Nowadays it’s all about what advances the narrative.
