      We covered the California wildfires pretty extensively. Of course, California is somewhere that MSNBC residents actually live. Greece is nearly on the other side of the planet.

      This isn't strictly a capitalism problem. It's a problem with driving public interest in any subject matter. You can lead people around by the nose with John-Bennett Ramsey stories because every pedo in the nation will stop to watch your show once she flashes on screen. But simply showing B-reel footage of a brush fire in a foreign country doesn't compel anyone's attention.

        You're talking about a media system that got Biden the nomination and soon presidency. They can drive interest in whatever the fuck they want to.
