It's not about a beautiful game
It's not about telling you a story
It's not about challenging you
It's not about figuring anything out
It's not about survival
It's not about the frontier
It's not about your curiosity
Or your safety
Or your health
Or your comfort
Or your laughter
Or your tears
Or your anger
Or your fear
It's not about the future
Or the present
Or the past
It's not about getting you to believe
Or love
Or hate
It's not about your dream vacation
It's not about your "custom-built dream house on the lake"
.

It's not about journalism
It's not about democracy
.
.
It has nothing to do with honesty, rationality or compassion
It is about the money. Always the money. More, and more
