Paging Jake Tapper
Paging Jake Tapper
You are incorrect. Their "job" is to produce share holder value. They only deliver news to meet that goal. They are, in fact, doing their job well.
I must disagree. If we look back to the Watergate scandal, Katherine Graham owned the Washington Post and supported editor Ben Bradlee and Woodward & Bernstein in taking down Nixon. The paper put journalism above profits. 1/2
How long ago was that?
Similarly, the once great NY Times bucked threats from Nixon & published the Pentagon Papers and exposed the deceit by our government in escalating Vietnam. A free and vigilant press is necessary to protect our democracy. Today’s media has abandoned that in favor of ratings, revenue and profits. 2/2
Maybe they know they lost their audience
