Their objective is still to draw people in. It's why I quit watching all of them. None of them understand the concept of truth I'm afraid. They prefer "half truths" to keep their audiences titillated.I understand how it's done, because I did it for a few years, for a major service, decades ago. It's successful, but when the viewership numbers start to drop, the people paying you to "create news" for advertising through viewership began asking what's wrong? You have two choices. Be ruthless, or walk away. I wavered, but ended up walking away. I'd never go back to doing that.The problem is, when you tell the truth, as it really is, people aren't interested. As an example. If you're invited to a get together where everyone is going to be firing machine guns at targets, most are in. It's kind of cool. But, if to shoot those guns you're required to spend 16 hours in classes, where they give you instructions on how they're built, including the chemistry of the metals, most people will pass. They're into the shiny object they can shoot, not the journey to creating the shiny object they shoot with.</blockquote>
