You've never heard of broadcast radio or TV?

Lots of ads

Edit: also tv news is also a new concept.

Right, so ads aren't a recent development.

Ads have existed for an extremely long time.

And most news has cost money since forever.

Tv news is a relatively new development and TV news is entirely founded by ads and as a way to drive viewers to a channel to keep them for other programmes.

TV news is 80 years old. It's far from new.

Again, that was not my point.

Not sure why you keep stating it.

Why are you so stuck on the tv thing?

Because you keep insisting on repeating falsehoods.

I mentioned it as a sidenote. It's not important, forget about it.

Either way it's subjective and honestly 80 years is not that long, but who cares 🤷

It is in this context, and you're categorically wrong on all counts.

Again completely ignoring the point...

How is something 80 years old "new?"

Relatively new compared to news. Either way it doesn't matter, my point was that it's funded by ads.

Tv news also drives viewers to a channel which is probably the main purpose of it.
