21. There is a corporate bias
The media's bias is not liberal or cponservative. It is corporate. profit and power is all that matters.

If they felt that real investigative reporting were profitable they'd do it. But it costs money and risks offending those in a position to give favors, and alienating viewers who don't want to know.

Frankin is corect in that sense.

The corporate bias is conservative in a sense. But it is ultimately apolitical. Anything thatfeeds the corporate beast is seen as desirable.
