Correlation != causation. The fact that most newspapers aren't lucrative doesn't mean they don't value profit.


Bloomberg News is not a newspaper. The company makes money from selling terminals not news (although the terminal contains news, but it's easy to see that sensationalism is not what the customers pay for).


No one had to pay to read the SuperMicro story (the original one that started all this).


Sure, but they let everyone read this specific story for free. They could have easily kept it behind their paywall.

Overall Bloomberg as a company does not sustain itself on news revenue.
