"What LA news needs to do is to hire competent fire analysts to do a play by play. What they do, instead, is they have people who don't know anything about wildfires yammering."

And here we are, the United States of America in 2025

"news" is entertainment

Viewer engagement. Capture the eyeballs, don't let go

Information? About what? Who cares about information or would even know it if they heard it

It's all about the legendary dopamine hit, which was the popular buzz-phrase back when I left Twitter and joined Mastodon

Titillation

It's what keeps viewers glued to the "app" on their phone
