        Whoever edits the headlines of newspapers and media sites has an astonishing amount of power and nobody really talks about it or even knows who they are

        These people should be publicly identified by the outlet and have to answer for their choices on a regular basis

        The $1 figure is misleading regardless. It's $1.60 each year over three years.

        Nah $1 an hour sounding small makes them seem reasonable: give them this tiny thing. "Threatening supply chains' makes them seem bad.

        I worked in the industry for 30 years (radio, TV, print)... it's not ideology... it's money. Nothing else matters. No one is getting a raise based on ideology... only money based on increased viewership, readership, etc. It's really that simple.
