[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The media does not want to inform people. It wants to make money. It wants people to tune in for the next 90 days.

They don't want people to make up their minds in this clear-cut and deeply annoying contest and then tune out for 3 months. [/quote]
Except if they did just inform people of where we are, people could make decisions accordingly and the media could move on to informing people about more pressing matters. [/quote]

Actual journalism costs money.  Hiring reporters, letting them travel and research, risking making the wrong person angry.

You know what is low cost?  Hiring a dozen pundits and letting them talk about Trump 24/7.  And you get good ratings!

Remember how when Trump won all these cable outlets and newspapers sent reporters out on field trips to the rest of America to ask people why they liked Trump?  And the supposed moral of the story was that coastal media was out of touch and needed to focus more on the rest of America?

And then nothing changed for another 8 years.  Journalism doesn’t bring in money.

When was the last time you saw reporting on anything other than the election on cable news? [/quote]
