Media behemoths

Part of the reason that news is becoming entertainment is because that’s what gets ratings for the large media conglomerates that own most news outlets, including the Los Angeles Times. Scandals like those involving the New York Times and “60 Minutes” in inaccurate and unethical reporting certainly don’t help.

As media ownership increases, so does the need to make news pay as entertainment. More independent media outlets would provide more variety of points of view.
