The executives and boards of directors long ago decided that stirring outrage, generating clicks was their swimlane. This will NEVER change (under existing laws and regulations) and there IS no waking up. It doesnt do any good to ask when they will get a clue. They got the clue decades ago, and its that you/we/our candidates dont generate revenue for their shareholders.

And now some entertainment conglomerate wants to buy the CNN conglomerate? Its obscene, and its an abrogation of their constitutional responsibilities under the first amendment.
