Are capitalism and the news kinda.. incompatible? I mean, if you have a profit motive is it inevitable that the organization will place its bottom line ahead of reporting what is true?

no

because if you cater to only half the audience you half your subscribers

Capitalism would write a newspaper that was 100% factual

and you make your own mind up

cus everyone could buy it, if they wanted to

and news is disposable

so everyone will be back tomorrow

Can a news organization like that compete with fake news outlets though?

IF you had devine truth yes

cus who'd spend have the time calling out your competitors

which is pretty sweet

if your publication is targeted it cannot be truly Capitalist

you can make money being the Left wing Guardian

but you are leaving so much money on the table

it's insane

but it's product and people don't read to be informed, they read to be entertained

I don't think my Grandma ever said it

but some Grandmas call the Newspaper

"their Stories"

but Capitalism has no regard for catering to individual stories

it's one size fits all, happy meal

and best way to get return customers is to just print the damned news

BBC Question Time from Glasgow tonight... it already looks pish

...consolation prize, I'd bang the Tory on the panel

No surprise there

on all counts

this brown Scotsman is correct

Eject Scotland

The people of Hull are still going to elect a remainer

same with Doncaster

I would love to see a bloodbath but there's no way Ed Miliband is losing his seat

why

he's a prat

he's in a labour safe seat

so

Imagine this is best you can do
