And 2 on that point, which is a little bit of a judgement yes, what about the CNN viewing experience in the last few years leads you to believe that they're interested in informing you of the important news of the day?

By their behavior and consumption choices, readers and viewers already know this. But it's taking a lot of our brains a while to catch up to this particular reality. That's true about news, specifically, and it's also about a lot of other things about life in 2018!

I don't have a pithy way to end this. Crap. Uh, here is a gif of Michael Keaton in "The Paper," the very best news movie ever. I think he's probably responding to a reader complaint here.pic.twitter.com/hY7IDUtjWJ

(Couple of addendum for the new folks in my mentions: -- If your response is "corporate media hates unions," hi hello the NYT newsroom is unionized as are many (but not nearly enough) others. -- I DO have pink hair! Thanks for noticing. Pointing that out is not an insult.)

I loved this thread. Isn’t Keaton yelling at a fancy editor at the Times?

He is! He went in for a job interview with an editor (Spalding Gray!!) and stole a tip off his desk, so they yanked the offer.

Good, multifaceted examination of the news. I think part of it is audience participation too. If a particular story gets a lot of hits then more news gets done on it and this results in more hits. Which is when a story takes off and gets covered "everywhere".

And come to think of it a certain orange person sucks all the oxygen out of that cycle making it harder for other important stories to gain proper attention.
