But people -- in mass -- hate the fucking news and what its become. This wasn't always the case.
1. I said it doesnt matter what people "in mass" want because the only people that are the target audence for the news are the minority, because people "in mass" do not share news links.
2. news is about money and so if you print news that apeals to the "in mass" people then they get less clicks, and make less money off of advertising.
3. The minority of idiots are all about hype, they are loud and soapboxing triggered morans SO:
4. the news is about hype.
5. the reason its about hype is because its a for profit business and we'll circle back to, the loudest and most proliffic sharer's of news are morans that are only interested in HYPE

what I am saying is, if you want news to change, to answer spiders post that I was replying to, I dont know why Im replyign to you becuse clearly you are stupid and cannot listen or read, the only way would be if social media blocked media links on their websites, which would take away the voice the small % of people who share the largest % of news links had.

A SMALL NUMBER OF IDIOTS SHARE THE MOST NEWS WHICH MAKES THE MOST PROFITABLE NEWS THE TYPE OF NEWS THE SMALL NUMBER OF IDIOTS LIKE TO SHARE

This is all typical Gen X nihilism though. People are stupid because they are born that way and that's why everything is going to shit. There's nothing we can do about it except point it out so we can feel superior.
Gen X deserves credit for dealing with all the sh!t policies brought about by the Boomers and the Snowflakes while being too demographically small in numbers to do much about it, besides being successful in their lives and giving the finger to all the morons around them. To blame Gen X for any of this cr@p is total and complete BS. Nice try though.

Again, if it's such a great business plan why is it failing?

A small number of idiots = The D.C. professional crowd and those that buy into it.

This is not because its the only way or the best to profit off news. It's because news profits are a small amount of the family empires that own the media outlets. So it's ok to take a hit on the profitability to have big media influence.

You keep making this about smart businessmen maximizing profit...but that is only true in the sense that smart business men are trying to profit given the restraints placed on the media by ownership. No one is even allowed to do one damn negative story on any company that producer owns shares in. They aren't allowed to go on on about party corruption or wealth inequality. That shit would probably sell better than their current product.

But I agree that premium service fees aren't going to work. Social media is kind of a different topic that I don't think the jury is in on yet...were not sure if Facebook really can replace the T.V. MSM -- we're pretty sure it won't do as good of a job.

Only you are saying I am saying its successful.

I am not saying they are winning, or not failing, or arguing that news is some great investment and its time to move your stock options to media outlets....

I am simply answering spiders question:

I am not saying that their tactics make them INFINITE MONEY... Im saying it makes them MORE MONEY than if they printed real informative news, which is why you dont see real, informative news.

Do you get it yet? You are saying I am saying something that I am not, nor am I even implying.

"why is the news about if it bleeds it leads?"

because the demographic that watch the news, or talk about the news, LIKE that type of news...However, The MASSES of people that, watch less news, dont share news or talk about news at all, may not like that stuff, but even if the news printed information that those types of people did like, it wouldn't increase the media outlets viewership, because those people (EVEN if they start watching more news, wont share it) wouldn't share it, because its not something the average person likes to do, (spam social media with links)... so its more profitable to make news that the type of people that share news frantically all over twitter and social networks LIKE to share.

I mean, think about it for a second, to what you are saying... about them being a failing industry. (which I do not think they are, they seem pretty fucking successful, sending journalists all over the planet, to print CLICK BAIT... at nausem... I think they just want more profit than they get, but clearly it looks to me like they're spending more than they should and that's their problem.. not readership.)

If your business model is "hey this small demographic of readers share news like crazy, and gets us lots of money in the short term..." then of course that is bound to have a negative effect on readership in the long run.

when MOST people are moderate.

But, thanks to the stock market, shareholders, etc, most business models are about the QUARTER success, not the decades... so most (bad) business models are about making money NOW not in the long run.

Which would explain why they are "failing" as you say they are (which I think is an exaggeration, I think they are just "spending" more than they should be.)

I by no means think that what you are saying about the news being owned by media giants that manipulate what they allow them to print isnt ALSO a contributing factor to the reason you see the news not covering REAL issues...

There are of course a multituted of reasons why the current media system is garbage.

But the reason its always about the 'trendy topic of the week that the alt-left like to talk about' is because during this #resist moment in time, the alt left are the factory of marketing bots that spam their friends and family that DONT care about reading the news beyond what their family shoves in their faces. Which, increases the click bait ad revenue streams that pay for it all.

Well that makes you a fool doesn't it? You don't think billionaire families and their wealth managers ever interfere with the way news is reported? Let's just pretend for a minute the obvious is true and they do. What kind of stories do you think they would prevent being covered? Boring ones no cares about anyway right?

People are fascinated about what Mcconnell might be thinking with his recent comments about the budget -- but none of those hype markets your so fond of talking about give one shit about 2016 Dakota Pipeline Protest? That was good shit -- complete ignored until Hilary Clinton's Candidacy was over. Then all the sudden MSNBC wants to talk about it again.

But I think the elephant in the room is the internet destroyed the future of TV. TV was the biggest baddest media for like 50 years. It's time is over. So I admit that is a huge part of T.V. Media's inability to maintain a general audience. There is actually a looming advertising crisis that will start kick in when the boomers pass.

Here's a story that was never covered: Most countries believe that United States is the biggest threat to global peace on the planet. North Korea isn't even on the map.
