” The News Suppression Business”

My take is the news business had been doing what it had been for ages when new info-tainment outlets like Inside Edition came out and smoked them in the ratings. The MSM moved to the new business model (pap) just as the OJ Simpson trial got under way and cemented the shift.

Next, stalwarts like Dan Rather tried to keep the integrity in the news room by making news into a moral compass. The ‘health and safety police’ model has coexisted with the Info-tainment model but the moral compass keeps on being stressed by the Neolithic set like Rather who are perfectly willing to fabricate news around their pissed off opinions and leftwing advocacy.

Now everyone save the rainforest or we will send you back for reprogramming.
