Do you think Jeff Zucker ran CNN so as to maximize profit?

You just cherry pick events that suit your narrative. All of these companies are businesses and they're in it for the profits. They may put on a liberal or conservative face, but it's just to exploit a niche in the market. They're corporations with shareholders at the end of the day. Which is a strong constraint on what ideas they'll explore and what issues they'll cover.
