This is a stunningly eloquent and concise and direct response to my question. I'm feeling faint.
Okay, I recovered. So, these folks in control must be the owners of the media, I assume? The capitalists who own the media? So I guess they're leaving some earnings in the locker room so they can pursue a liberal agenda that costs them millions in earnings they COULD be getting? And it's a unanimous collusive oligopoly? I mean, if they're leaving this much revenue in the locker room, that's GOT to be creating the world's most powerful commercial vacuum. American media.
Or maybe it's the underlings. Again, this would suggest that ALL the media outlets are being run by underlings in ways that are not maximizing the owners' earnings, and the owners are not correcting this problem?
Hmmmmm.......
