Just to add a bit to this. I remember many years ago taking an introductory level Journalism class. The first class, first question from the Professor was to the effect of what is the primary purpose of the media. After all kinds of answers about protecting freedom, informing the public and more bs of that type, the Professor told the class to always remember that the first most important purpose of the media, like any other business, is to make money for its stockholders. Enough said for me. That does kind of put things im perspective.
