Yeah, it really isnтАЩt about clicks for money, because theyтАЩre clearly failing in that respect. ItтАЩs about propaganda for the centers of power. How exactly they get enlisted into this is not entirely clear, but the Twitter files give a little peak behind the curtain.
And we know that at least with respect to Covid, they were paid directly by Uncle Sam to serve as propagandists. IтАЩm not aware of a money trail that enlists MSM to unfailingly support the military industrial complex, but there is clearly some mechanism that exists to achieve that goal.
And I would love to see the тАЬexтАЭ-spooksтАЩ tax returns. Are they just so ideologically committed to the system that they remain loyal? Or are they still raking in tax dollars to serve as propagandists and ensure their co-workers in the newsroom do the same? Lots of questions about how the MSM sausage gets made. Clicks for dollars doesnтАЩt explain it at all.
Too many people confuse and conflate materialism with capitalism. That has the effect of hiding the deleterious effects of the former and creating unwarranted criticism of the later. Corporate media whores are all about the perk$.
They aren't doing journalism. They are doing capitalism: clicks = bucks.
They are doing propaganda. Which they consider to be their job.
Exactly. They aren't in the news business. They are in the politics business. They have been prepping for this since Government 101 at Hahvahd.

Yes. I'm sure that excessive devotion to capitalism is the problem at MSNBC.

The moment that Trump started taking away their local tax deductions from their federal taxes, was the moment they started to freak the fuck out.
Wait 'til a real populist IRS starts counting corporate limousine rides and complimentary "staff" lunches as taxable income...
And not succeeding very well judging by their audience losses.
