Studies were done at Cornhole University in Iowa that definitively proved fake news stories generate 30% more ad dollars than real world events.
Fake stories can be done with more drama and tragedy – and get people in the mood to buy. Especially kinky Conspiracy stories.
Year ago, all TV networks had a ‘News Division’ that did really new of real-world events. Executives figured out that if you made news into a form of Entertainment you could make much more money. So, they fired the top News guys, and the new bosses were all TV entertainment guys.
So today – all news is Entertainment. But even then, profits can be improved more.
Put Violence and Conflict – and Lies in the news and that increases watching of Ads.
So, our News is now a torrent of Violent acts and personal Conflict (full of lying characters – just like the Soap Operas).
And the 3 – 4 huge media corporations that control all we watch or hear – Make huge profits off of these Destructive Lies.
And Democracy – relying on real news? They don’t care much about that.
There is no Profit in it.
