MSM: It's The Ratings Stupid

Balanced News: Oxymoron

In politics for the past two years we have heard "It's The Economy Stupid." 

The Mainstream News is having a very difficult time. Many of the shows we watched last fall are canceled, quality writing with high paying actors, effects do not get renewed because of poor ratings. Television has moved to a new model. Low quality and low cost: Reality TV. This is because the cost is so much lower and the actors can not command $ 1 million per episode, royalties and syndication revenue sharing. Without a sensational, negative storyline the traditional newspapers outlets and television stations believe they can not surivive.

Good News does not sell, Balanced reporting and investigative journalism costs money it is NOT sexy. The tabloid media are headlines and gotcha moments, our media has been actively involved in pushing non-issues as "news, crisis, scandal"

OJ Simpson, Tiger Woods, Bubble Boy, Communion Wafer (2 weeks CBC coverage), 30 seconds retraction after it was determined the story was manufactured.

Did the press ever follow up who was responsible after running with it? The young single mother lady from Somalia who has not returned to work, refuses to explain contradictory information about the existence of her younger sister, trying to get $ 2.5 million in damages?

Where are the corrections to the smears against stranding this single mother visiting her husband by our tax funded media? Are they distracted?

In the latest attempt to win ratings the MSM have pushed another routine matter, a twenty two day delay as a serious issue for Canadians.

Has the traditional media followed the Twitter Party of Canada as a spent force with Canadians?

Will the traditional left-wing protest groups show up to help to aid the biased fourth estate?
