    I mean capitalism surely isn’t helping good journalism but I fail to see how this is the fault of capitalism. News will always cover new things - the fact that the Taliban took over two years ago is nothing new anymore. I would also like coverage of situations like that but I also think that news would just get too overwhelming. It would take hours to give every small update for each topic like that, and people are already sick of bad news anyways.
