with what B-Line said and let me add that while pretty much the rest of the world (with a few exceptions) enjoys watching state-owned and operated television, here in the U.S. it's all privately owned and operated and definitely for profit! The General Manager of your local U.S. TV station (who is responsible for the local newscast) is a former
salesperson, and 99% of them do not have any journalistic or on-camera background whatsoever.
