    The media is not one thing. Media is plural. Good luck getting “the media” to agree on anything.

      • Ads make money.
      • More ads make more money.
      • Money.
      • More money.
      • 🦀 money money money 🦀

          If they’re privately held, yes.
          If they’re publicly traded, yes.
          If they’re publicly funded, also yes, but only because they wouldn’t exist otherwise.

          Even if they don’t say it, it’s always a priority :)
