    For profit news was always a bad idea.

    Just the same as its a bad idea for prisons and hospitals.

    For profit companies should sell clothes, and cars, and movies. Luxuries where consumer choice is easy.

      Doesn’t help that most good or at least decent news is paywalled while fucking fox news blares freely in every waiting-room in the country.

      I appreciate the likes of PBS News, NPR, and UK Guardian who’ve found alternative models.
