$250? Maybe if it was a family in the poor part of Los Angeles that had committed the offense. NBC Universal makes $250 in less than a minute I think.

NBC is owned by Comcast who made $5,370,000,000 in net income last year. That'd be $14,700,000 every day, $610,000 every hour. So just over $10,000 per minute. They made $170 every second.

There's more than one source of news out there, and most people in the position to run their own lemmy instance probably don't have cable TV.

Not to mention, not everyone on the Internet is American.
