Demand for Slant

You don't really need to find out
What's going on
You don't really want to know
Just how far it's gone
--Don Henley

Many fault the media for its slanted product. However, in a market where choices are available, then it must be concluded that biased media coverage is merely catering to demand for slant. Media outlets may have an agenda, but without customers willing to trade money for slant then their agenda would go unfunded and their operations would wither.

The only exception is for media outlets sponsored by the State. State funded media can operate whether consumers are willing to pay for slant or not.
