Of course this is true of any business, any product or service. People have
to buy it.

One interesting example: The pastor of one very large church in the LA area
notes that that church will likely never have an organ or a choir (they've
always had sort of a rock group). As much as the pastor likes organ music in
church, he points out that in the LA radio market, there are dozens of rock
stations but the market has trouble sustaining two classical music stations,
and this shows that people coming into church without a church
history/experience can't relate to an organ and Bach church music.

Another example: Rail as one might about the Macintosh computer being better
than Windows (let's assume for the moment without getting THAT discussion
going), the fact is that 90% of computer buyers buy Windows.

However "sad" this principle of business may be, it's the reality we must
live with.

You make a good point, especially about TV news. Unfortunately, people are
telling the media all the time what want to see, through the ratings
services and the newspaper subscription cancellations. They vote with their
clickers, their response to ads and their checkbooks. And it's not always
pretty. You can sneer all you want about "whatever sells papers." That's
hardly the point. My profession has proven over and over that you go broke
in a hurry giving people what they should read and see, as opposed to what
they want.
