DD remember the movie...."Network"....it sure seems to have come to pass hasn't it. Paddy was right. Back in the day network news was considered a Public Service and not for profit...each network had to provide so many hours of Public Service each day per the FCC..the airways are considered to be Public. Then in the 1970's some bright bulb in the corporate structure figured the news could be for profit...thus each network is now vying for ratings so that they can sell their advertsing spots for more money than the other network....thus if it bleeds it leads and the juicier the better...
