From Matt Taibbi
It's our fault. We in the media have spent decades turning the news into
a consumer business that's basically indistinguishable from selling
cheeseburgers or video games. You want bigger margins, you just cram the
product full of more fat and sugar and violence and wait for your
obese, over-stimulated customer to come waddling forth.
...
When you make the news into this kind of consumer business, pretty soon
audiences lose the ability to distinguish between what they think
they're doing, informing themselves, and what they're actually doing,
shopping.
