If you gave a billion dollars to the top 10 news companies, the chance of a dime being spent on news would be pretty slim. You might as well give a pound of hamburger to a shark and hope to get meat loaf.

These days, these organizations are run by finance types, and finance types don’t care about journalism.

Finance and journalism mix like Ebola and French kissing.
