It used to be that newsrooms operated at a loss because news was seen as a valuable service for the people. Now they have to turn a profit. That means lower budgets, not pissing off advertisers, and peddling sensationalist bullshit designed to rile people up so they engage more.
I’ve linked a decline in the overall quality of news, especially in the US over the last few decades, to capitalism. As for the rest of your post, you’ve shown a few times now that you lack maturity. If you’re not an edge lord teen then I feel bad for you.
Who consumes “overall news”? I use the national news service of my capitalist home country for real investigative stuff and ad-paid for-profit shitnews for the more entertaining ones.

What about non profit news orgs that run under capitalism? Plenty of european countries have national news outlets that don’t turn in profit.
This is what I mean, such a good example of the lemmy boogeyman lmao
You asked the OP to tie it into capitalism. I did that. I’m aware that state funded news exists.
I’m gonna assume you thought you had something there, I’ve no idea what though.
So, there exist non-profit news outlets under capitalism, yet capitalism is bad since news outlets are for-profit?
I am sbsolutely dunking it on commies tonight, holy shit it’s easy

Read Pravda lately?
Just to be clear, I’m not interested in continuing this conversation. You’re not worth the effort.

No. Do as I ask. Tie that into capitalism please. If you can, of course.
