yes, but news are just commodities and they'll just stop paying attention to it in 2 years unless you bring it to them after 2-3 glasses of wine.
You can see how news has been commodified when journalists don't have any accountabilities (like a 9-5 jobs with questionable practice where you can pressed on the person and they'll respond: "well it's capitalism, i have to eat, i'm just following order, i try to stay away from the politics of it) for reporting disinformations during the Iraq wars, Chinese Ballons or any others subjects; not even an official editorial apologies (they really don't have to because people don't care)
I remembered in a national radio broadcast, they invited a chinese expert who said that Chinese people like to create a political scandal (chinese ballon) to pressure the opponent before a diplomatic visit (blinken's visit). I doubt that the radio station will not invite him back for the next chinese "political scandal"
