The Daily Show explains how to make money in journalism: Feed people their own opinions

The Daily Show host John Oliver and “deranged billionaire” John Hodgman on Wednesday night examined the purchase of The Washington Post by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. Oliver observed that print journalism has been in decline. Less people were reading newspapers and companies weren't buying ad space. Hodgman, however, said he knew how to make money in journalism. He explained that the Internet had proven that what people really want "is their own opinions fed back to them for free."
