There are certainly problems with the state of journalism, but anyone who tries to "view the news as a person" will be as woefully uninformed as those who try to "run government like a business."

The "state of journalism" is that it's many miles down the mineshaft of capitalism and the only way out is to try to monetize crowdfunding.

BBC is (was) the opposite and have their own issues, but in general I think we can agree they're ahead of the US journalism framework.
