Here's what I don't get

Why does M$Greedia bend over backwards to accommodate Smelvis the sick fuck' Slobfather's attacks on AGs, judges and established institutions?

R.O.I.

They really don’t care about democracy, freedom or rights. They care about money and power. Even if he smells, backing a “strong man” is good business,

The Ownership Class thinks they’ll still be loved by whomever is in “authority.” Seems like they would’ve learned from history, but money and brains aren’t mutually dependent.

Expecting a different result from for profit channels? $$$$$$$$$$$$ is why. Joe should spend all his money on mail and radio. Cable is against us but isn't that usual? We always overcome their both sides but they keep it up. You can catch all the cable talkers and their questions on you tube and skip the commercials.

The number of people on DU who hate-watch cable news and then complain about the same things over and over and over and over and over again makes me shake my head.

They apparently enjoy being miserable. There are enough negative things in the world without intentionally searching them out, watching them incessantly, and then beating a dead horse.

The best part is that they act surprised/shocked/outraged about something the 100th time it happens even though the first 99 were exactly the same and they saw every one of them.
