#1 Peter Drucker said that an organization can succeed at one mission. As soon as it has two missions it will fail at both. So, when a business takes up virtue signalling, they are actually warning the consumer that the product or service they are selling is going to decrease in quality.

#2 When Tom Brokaw took over the nightly news seat at NBC, the show was in third place among the three major open broadcast evening news. When he left, it was in first place. However, the audience was smaller than when he first took the position. Their appeal just became more selective.

#4 Virtue signaling?

If I want that I will watch CNN.

I agree, shut up and sell me a cup of coffee. I don't need to hear about all of your pseudo-political feel good, puppies, bunnies, and baby chicks BS.
