(4,940 posts)I worked for an affiliated TV station - it was ALL "if it bleeds it leads" and then, if no more drama and screams and shouts, story goes away. Same happened when I worked for a newspaper.
For most media, "When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." MSM hasn't held my attention since 2001.
