In some cases we get what we get because that is what sells. In other cases the media is serving its own self interest in other ways, in particular it is being used to drive a particular narrative, in order to keep the population of this country subservient to the corporate interests that control both the media and the government. In a sense that is also 'what sells' as the kleptocracy must prevent the population from acting in its own self interest if it is to continue the current system of pillage and profiteering. To do that we are fed a steady stream of total bullshit that is designed to confuse and befuddle us and keep us from acting on the obvious realities of our system.
