"One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles." -- Edward R. Murrow
@estherschindler We need a pre-TFG VOA inside the USA. As long as they rely on corporate underwriting, existing public media isn't it.
@estherschindler, My theory is media doesn't publish objective news now BC they are in an unspoken contract after "buying" legislation that has allowed them to inc their profit/networth by 2x to 5x.
In the 10 yrs. since Alito/SCOTUS changed FEC donation caps, donations by Media Moguls/corps. spiked 2X to 5X. At the same time, CEO's networth also increased 2x to 5x. There was almost a straight line before Media Moguls could "buy" legislation.
I archived my tables/charts, but will find them.
