i guess in that analogy they're ideologues FOR money, they want profit. but making asses of themselves seems to me like it costs them money. i dont prescribe much to the idea that media companies are hurting their own profit to be mouthpieces for the deepstate. at times sure, but not as a general practice. maybe they're just bad at making money, idk.
Their bosses and publishers want to make money, the rank and file in newsroom are typically much more idealistic. In general, journalism is a profession which draws in a lot of idealists and ideologues for whom their job is a just a means to advance The Cause.

Me? lol.
I want Trump to win to accelerate the complete collapse of the United States and the beginning of the proletarian revolution. We would remain relatively stable under another Biden term. Trump will oversee economic collapse. This is what revolutionaries want.
I’m just stating facts about Biden. He has no reason not to ram through a bunch of executive actions at the last minute. Nothing changes for you in November until the transfer of power in January.
Leftists said the same thing before Trump took office in 2017. That he would crash the economy, that he would set the world ablaze yada yada. Instead, he oversaw the strongest economy of the 21st century before covid fucked it all up and was the only US president in god knows how many decades who didn't start new wars, who not even saw major wars between third parties break out during his tenure.
