It's entertainment.

too many people think it's news. And they behave accordingly.

their ratings and ad revenue fall in the toilet- forever. The boards won't care but it might give the dumb Magats pause. Of course I said, "might".

For them it's all about profit and ROI.

It seems Skydance is purposely putting themselves on a downward spiral.

...but I earned it in 1979. Things were quite different then.

WE were taught and trained that NEWS was WHAT happened, HOW it happened, WHERE it happened and WHEN it happened..

And, we were taught that the "WHY" part was OPINION.

You couldn't say "President Carter addressed a gathering of farmers and ranchers today in Iowa, in an effort to try to garner support for his re-election."
That would be opinion.

Today, most news is opinion. (in my opinion)

... except to the lawyer who originally filed her case. Very soon after this tape was made, "Katie Johnson" was threatened with her life, along with everyone in her family. She disappeared, changed her name and dropped out of sight. So did her entire family.

The one thing we do know is that her name and story are hidden in the Epstein files, but it has all been covered up. I believe she must have left the country, or she's already dead. It's a sad story and we'll probably never know.
