Yes, we all know that the almighty dollar rules supreme and everybody on CP thinks that if a company isn't doing everything they can to bring in every red cent possible, they're failing their stockholders. Maybe the media should do more to try and be on the scene and get some shots of the corpses in these kind of things. Just imagine how many bucks they could have made if they'd gotten a few shots of the aftermath of the Greyhound attack, or some live video of soldiers getting shot up in Afghanistan. If a mother wailing over the loss of her child brings in money, they're obviously ignoring an untapped revenue source by not trying to throw the tarp off the body and get some shots of that for the ol' 6 O'clock cast.
Seriously, the vehement defense of business trying to make a buck at the expense of everything and everybody that goes on around here disgusts me sometimes.
