Well, if you think sex sells, you're wrong. *Fear* sells. With the death
of the nightly news and the creation of "news for profit", fear has been
selling ever since.


Look. You got four, maybe five 24-hour news networks with 1440 minutes to
fill
each and every day. If you don't have viewers, you don't have ratings
and
you don't get advertisers to fill 20 minutes per hour of commercials. So
everything becomes a crisis.
