When TV first began it was believed that presenting the news was not going to be profitable.
The FCC made news programming a requirement as a public service.
The original news programming was not even a show. It was short announcements of something that happened. Usually 5 minutes or less.
The stations had to do it by law or they would lose their license.
Only after they became slicker did they figure out how to make the news profitable. That was when the news expanded into, at first, a half hour show. Later it became an hour. Decades later saw the advent of 24 hour news.
Presenting the news had become profitable.
And after the news became profitable bias was introduced for the purpose of tayloring the news to fit and appeal to certain audiences.
When Nixon faced impeachment the news was pretty much the same on all the channels.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

You support a criminal, you are a criminal.
^ I wonder if that's how the "lawyer" represents the few slip and fall clients he has when he's up against a competent one?

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
Author: Booker T. Washington
