Your media company gets in serious trouble through alienating your audience, roll left, die.
The roll left didn’t save the institutions.
Maybe management was so stupid as to think it would save them. But I doubt it. If they got any statistics — it’s iffy. Most fields that have fallen to the left treat statistics like magic incantations, and look at them as though they were thing that can augur success if treated right.... What the roll left did, though, was make sure all the managers and everyone with fiduciary capacity was on record as being “one of the good people” i.e. a member in good standing of the left wing. Which meant that when their institutions died, they got other jobs. I’ve followed a particularly lefty magazine editor through four magazines killed, and always falling upward into bigger jobs.I Can Feel It Coming | According To Hoyt
