[OT] Nation bashing

[Askan Nightbringer]

I think I've said this before but...

Commercial Media relies on advertising revenue to exist. This means they cannot offend their advertisers, who are mainly corporations that rarely have left wing views.
The media companies will hire editors/producers/journalists to complement the generation of advertising revenue, not to jeopardise it. They will occasionally run something that is more "left opinionated" but its usually accompanied but a "balancing" article. This is to push the mythology of the "quest for the truth" that media once may have been. There is nothing more detrimental to a news source than nobody watching/reading/listening because it is obviously biased, because nobody will advertise if nobody is seeing it.
