I was thinking about how many low quality Bloomberg News stories have generated complaints on HN. They keep getting posted and upvoted and are just junk.
The quality used to be there. The stories were well researched and more business on-topic than other places like the Wall Street Journal, but now that’s over a decade ago.
Besides this CCP thing, one wonders what else they are watering down. Why would Bloomberg report anything negative about their major customers?
Why would Fox News report anything negative about GOP or CNN about Democrats? Media checks and balances are other orgs of different beliefs. Dangerous to rely on only 1 source or even 1 partisan community.
I agree that it's vital to consume heterogeneous media, but as for 'why would they': Because they should not be mere propaganda machines.
Incidentally, I have seen anti-GOP coverage on Fox and anti-DNC coverage on CNN. Not enough, but a non-zero amount. Maybe the motive is simply to give the false impression of impartiality, I don't know.
