More like "Breaking Editorial".

He talked about how the media used to compete for all of the American audience, but that the internet forced them to compete for a segment of consumers. This caused companies to craft narratives that fed their base. He discussed how journalists intrinsically pick up on the headlines that make the companies the most money, and, more importantly, how important it is for the media company to never shift from the narrative they create because it causes a mass exodus of listeners. He did a really interesting segment on Trump, and about how much money he makes these companies.

News needs to be made non-profit. It's the only way to save us.

And how do you do that in a way that doesn't piss all over the 1st Amendment?

Anyone can report on anything, but they can't call themselves a news agency if they are trying to make a profit. Don't think it would keep leftists from eventually overtaking those positions, but at least there's a standard. I honestly don't really have an answer for the media, dude. I don't know how you solve this problem. It's a real problem, though.
