re: #375 Shimshon

I do not agree. The high cost of running a network killed journalism. Everything any media does today is for getting money from commercials. Don’t report anything controversial for fear of alienating advertisers. Make everything entertainment to attract and addict your viewers. Informing them isn’t important because you lose out to alternatives that are more about adrenaline rushes than education.

Seems to me back in Cronkites day that just was not a show stopper. Would all that you cite be such an enormous factor with a news hour each night and one each morning? Plus a little local? Nobody needs 24 hour anything when it’s available on demand. And when you don’t need all that filler maybe even produce original programming that attracts revenue you got it.
