Who is buying our news coverage ?

We've all know for many years that all of our national newspapers are running at a massive loss (even The Guardian and The Independent).
They have huge mounting debt from which none of them will ever recover. Print is a dead industry but like a wounded animal they are still very dangerous. Owned by specious and nefarious organizations of corporate psychopaths and yet their presence somehow is reassuring to many people as a representation of continuity and familiarity. How would your old Dad feel if his daily copy of The Times, The Telegraph, The Express, The Mail, The Guardian or even The FT were to disappear in the same fashion as The News of the World.
So when GB News launched a couple of years ago, I didn't think much about it. Andrew Neil said GBNews had enough money to broadcast for 6 months after which the station would have to pay for itself through advertising revenue. £60 million. 3 months after they launched Andrew Neil left the channel claiming it was a farce. Talk TV was launched earlier this year and it's the same brand of scum

I have been watching a bit of GBNews and TalkTV, by way of keeping an open mind, and their advertising revenue is bollocks. So, I decided to do a bit of research to see if the internet could tell me who was actually funding these opinion channels that are masquerading as news outlets.

Ultimately, they're competing for a limited set of eyes, so they appear to have settled on a tactic of trying to encourage clickbaity rage-reading. It's a fact of life, unfortunately.

They could do what some news outlets in NZ have done and go with the gig economy model of Patreon-style reader donations, but even that will still result in outrage-bait shit that you see in Tory rags written by cunts like Littlejohn.

Is this your attempt at deflecting a question about you voting for a fascist?

Also, letting you know now as a courtesy, since you have a history of posting TERFy shit, that will no longer be tolerated.

Considering your established track record when it comes to transphobia and TERF shit, deciding to wade in isn’t the smartest decision you’ve made.

I do have Google, but asked you to please explain what you meant by your comment.... specifically, and now youve threatened me out of the blue. What the heck is sealioning... Are you ok?

If you’ve got access to a search engine, then go look it up.

And if you find that being told “punching down at a vulnerable community that was previously inexplicably tolerated no longer will be” to be “threatening,” then have a think about what that says about you.

If you don’t know what a TERF is, despite having posted previously in the TERF thread, then that’s on you, not me.

I looked up "TERF".. sounds derogatory, did you mean it that way, cashead? OR, can I possibly be just a woman, stating my feeling, life experience as a woman, and opinions stemming from my experiences? I also went through the thread you spoke of (from 2019), looking for "TERFy shit" that I "have a habit of posting". I could not find anything, other than saying that I, as a woman, am uncomfortable being referred to as a "cis-female". I stand by that, still. I am just a woman, or female. Was there something else I said in that thread that upset you, or that justified you calling me TERFy, cashead? If so, please let me know.
