I don't think they care so much about their ratings because they have sponsors with lots of cash.I actually think it cuts their viewership down, thus the reason for their lower numbers. But their bosses have an agenda to push. They don't seem concerned with viewership so much, for some reason. I would imagine someone is helping finance certain agendas.I think the same rules should apply to everyone. The primary beef I have is the obvious double-standards.The Constitution doesn't give them the right to slander or liable anyone they want to.The stock holders might have a say in those NOT privately owned companies.
Let me take a stab at really the first reason, Constitution maybe?
Fact is they're going around the law and demanding special privileges that you and I don't have.
But you're referring to only the Liberal press, what about the Right? You think info wars and breitbart don't slander?
If anyone on the right says anything that is total BS they pay a price for it. They at least try to be honest.....because they can't afford not to be. Their viewers and listeners expect honesty.
It's clear that making shit up is lucrative for the legacy media. Being nasty and over the top pays in better viewership for CNN and MSNBC.
They really don't have to watch what they say very much.
