ABSTRACT

Instead, the difference is largely a function of two things: technology and deregulation. As philosopher Robert Talisse puts it, contemporary technology has served up made to order worlds, and most people have made the world they inhabit into their own image. If a reporter is required to report both sides of an issue even when it's not controversial among experts, then it provides the impression that an issue is contentious when it's really not. Th chapter turns out that there are a variety of winning strategies that companies can pursue. Since much of the fake news epidemic revolves around political bias, it focuses on that sort of bias. The perfect case study here is The Weekly Standard. The picture that is emerging from this discussion of business strategies is that news sources with audiences win. The overall lesson is that many people in the business of providing information have a powerful incentive to capture an audience.
