How to make it happen
Mediademon ABC has actually "suspended" Brian Ross for a false story.
Unlike all other purported historic firsts, this is truly a historic first. All previous firings have been for external crap like misbehavior in the office or telling false stories outside of the "news".
Why did Ross get "suspended" for this false story, while the rest of the "news" consists of nothing but false stories?
Because this false story caused share values to drop.
Share values are the entire universe. Nothing else counts. Customers are a luxury who can be tossed out when they interfere with Share Value. Employees, products, truth, legality, all are negative externalities. If any of the NEs get in the way of Share Value, they disappear.
If sane people were smart they'd catch on. The way to move Deepstate is to couple your desired change to Share Value.
Want abortions to decrease? Find a way for each abortion to drop the Dow.
Want wars to stop? Find a way for a war to break the NASDAQ.
As it stands, abortion and wars are GOOD for Share Value, so they continue.
