AI Thread Summary
Corporate executives exert significant influence over media content by directing advertisers, which impacts news coverage decisions. The concentration of media ownership among a few large corporations raises concerns about editorial independence and the media's role in social issues. This corporate control leads to questions about the motivations behind what news is reported or ignored, as media outlets often prioritize corporate interests over public discourse. The discussion highlights a disconnect between the media's stated goals of being part of the solution and their actual practices, suggesting that corporate ownership fundamentally shapes media narratives and priorities.

Yeah, but it's sufficiently distinct to deserve its own thread. Why are the media part of the problem when the claim to be, and wish to be, part of the solution?

Look at the ownership. All the city papers and networks and TV stations in the US are owned by a few big corporations. Why would you expect a big corporation to behave like it wasn't one?
 
Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
