re: If Tucker had such a problem with mainstream news outlets

He has made it very well known that he has evolved.

Some people had the veil lifted to see the curtain pulled back and are disgusted with both political parties & DC. And some don't care, because they like it and are snooty, disconnected, idiot neoliberals & neocons.

You kind of did when you said the truth would sell more.

How do you even know that?

How would you even know what the truth was?

Do you realize how bad leftwing ratings have been for so long? They are propped up by people who can afford if CNN (and company) tank. They don't care about ratings. Only programming their fools.

There's a reason Trump sells on MSM. He tells shite straight.

I would consider his motive for saying whatever he said, like I do with everyone. I often believe him. Much like I often believe Tony Fauci, even though I know he knows that Covid came from a research program he funded at the WIV. Truth has to be drawn in pieces from a variety of people, all of whom bring their own interests to the discussion. Nobody is to be trusted blindly.

But also, it’s not so much outright lying. It’s where you place the emphasis, the stories you choose to cover, the questions you decide to ask. It’s the frame, the perspective, that matters.

This is all correct and what we should expect from the media.

The difference between us only seems to be their motives. I just assume in this country people are motivated by profit. You seem to be assuming that the motivation is ideological and not profit driven. I see how ideology slants information delivery, but I can't expect unbiased reporting. I still say that the large, publicly traded, news media corporations are motivated by share price - like every single other large, publicly traded corporation.

I suspect that the pool of journalists also has some effect on news delivery. But again, this also seems to be market driven as, generally speaking, more conservative people will gravitate towards more profitable endeavors than journalism. Thus we get more liberal, idealists in Journalism today.

Although most of the people I knew in college that got jobs in Journalism left the field because they were disillusioned by the fact that the marketing departments generally made the editorial decisions - in order to keep their advertisers.

Yeah - cause if he'd have quit on day 1 - just look how much influence he could have wrought with that extra 30 years of total independence.

what a loss
