      Ads have existed for an extremely long time.

      And most news has cost money since forever.

      Tv news is a relatively new development and TV news is entirely founded by ads and as a way to drive viewers to a channel to keep them for other programmes.

                  I mentioned it as a sidenote. It’s not important, forget about it.

                  Either way it’s subjective and honestly 80 years is not that long, but who cares 🤷
