Yeah, we want to put out a good product and make money. You want to in your field, too, right? We are a business, we'll never deny that. Some stations will go to extreme lengths to draw in viewers (tabloid-type stories), but don't lump the rest of us with those sleezy stations. You look down upon those stories, and their competing stations look down upon them, too. We're here to inform, help, entertain, and yeah, make money.
We know we need viewers. I just wish viewers would also figure out that you need us, too. Unless you want to hand over your hard earned money to your congressman so he can go on a fancy vacation, then go to the home to your toxic dump and have your kid abducted to never see them again, then get in your car and die in a wreck because you didn't know your tires were defected. :brick:
