sf11b_p,
Assuming that the majority has more money than the minority (and that's an arguable assumption, but not totally unbelievable)- wouldn't market forces correct the system so that The Real World and Doom and Gloom News are no longer the rapidly growing mainstays of television and media?

The thing that gets me is that you'd think that some news corporation, somewhere, would think: Hmm, maybe we should start reporting the news in the most unbiased fashion possible and give that Fair and Balanced thing a try?

So far, and yes I know that's the Fox News slogan, I don't think this has ever happened. Why not? What are the market forces that shape these corporate decisions?
