Indeed, IBM's outsourcing projects have meant billions of dollars in profits while the company transitions from manufacturing and selling its computer technologies to providing services instead. In the early 2000s, IBM began moving away from manufacturing software and hardware for computers -- disk drives, displays, and monitors -- and began moving into the business of selling "sophisticated packages of services to software clients," according to John Hechinger writing in The Wall Street Journal (Hechinger, 2003, p
The Politics and Economics of Offshore Outsourcing Writing in the Journal of Monetary Economics, authors Mankiw and Swagel present the case that notwithstanding the political posturing against outsourcing, the "empirical evidence" suggests that increased employment in the overseas affiliates of American multinational corporations can translate into "more employment in the U.S. parent rather than less" (Mankiw, et al

One of the arguments against the recent trend by the media to focus on these subjects in order to attract an audience is that the practice makes news outlets to have rapid emotional response. By following this line, the media fails to be voice of reason by examining the impact of the subjects on the society (Kane & Jeppsen, 2014)
In essence, news outlets should not only emphasize on sensitive and controversial topics but should ensure balanced reporting through gathering information, verifying facts, and examining every side of an issue.
