The simple reason why the facts aren’t known is that the American public doesn’t care enough to tune in, or at least those who run the media corporations don’t think the American public cares. Put another way: There’s no money in it.
I’m not convinced the motives of the media companies are profit driven these days. But it’s hard to argue against the perspective of a journalist.

Money gets you media companies. Media companies get you power. Which gets you money…
I guess my point was that I don’t really think these decisions are motivated by increasing profit to the media companies. That they’re happy to take a loss in this one investment to further their other goals.

Agreed. If I can make billions fracking and it costs me millions to shift the narrative for enough people to get my bill passed I’m still making tons of money.
Most of us want the same things, just some of us have completely ingested lies and half truths the news spews. They legitimately believe all leftists want Marxist communism across the world.
