No, it can't. Shame isn't an incentive for business. Money is.

Can Poynter use a less biased term than "vulture capitalist?"
-
You disapprove of honest, truthful wording?
-
Lol. "Vulture capitalist" is about as truthful as "fake news media."
-
They're taking the profit of the paper, burying it in bad investments and cutting staff at the paper in the process. They're picking what meat remains on the bones. So, yes, vultures.
-
That's one opinion. There are others, as well. Journalists report facts, not call people names. At least the good ones do so.
-
It's not opinion. It's fact. I laid out exactly what Alden is doing. How is that opinion?
-
All that is true, but it's also true they own the paper and are invested in its financial success. "Vulture" is hyperbole and a fair journalist wouldn't use that word because it is loaded with negative bias. Report the facts, dude, keep you opinion to yourself. You're partisan.
-
Nothing I said was partisan. This isn't some left/right b.s. This is a case where ownership's only investment is to use it as a piggy bank, and kill it when the money is gone. That's being a business vulture. Sorry the facts don't comport to your view that all business is good.
