The dangerous media....

...real news, even as doctored as it was 30 years ago, has become something entirely different, and dangerous. Media outlets depend on ratings for revenue and since all these corporations have shareholders, profits and dividends become all-important.

...what they look for are ways to keep stories playing...to jazz them up and create controversy...they even drag out stories unnecessarily if it means greater "hits"...but the worst part is that they won't give the news that will settle an issue but rather tailor their reports in such ways as will keep the "controversy" or "outrage" going for as long as they think enough people are paying attention.

That's the reason they can't afford to "ask the tough questions" because if they put these lying sacks of shit on a spot, or up against the wall, they won't appear again and since the public actually thinks these people, like Cheney and Kissinger, are anything other than criminals, a media outlet might get frozen out...and then what will they have to offer to get people watching so they can get higher ratings so they can jack up advertisers fees.

As it is Trump is locking out any media which doesn't treat him "nice"...the people who actually want to hear this jerk will not visit the media he's banned...so they lose out on any Trump news...and that's a bad thing when you're out to make money and the "news" is the way you make it.
