I'm usually hopeful that fairness will prevail but I often feel let down. Perhaps I should learn to face reality: A newspaper or magazine etc. is a business, not unlike other businesses where their main motivation is to make money, period. So if there is ever a conflict between fairness and making money, making money will win the day.
Fairness prevails in newspapers, magazines etc. when, 1) it helps the bottom line 2) it doesn't hurt the bottom line or 3) it may appear to hurt the bottom line somewhat, but it's a major news report that must be told.
Any comments?
