THE REPUKES at MSNBC show asswipe Donald Rump. is that because mcnbc is owned by repukes?

Yep, I think so. if I owned that station, i would not allow this kind of junk to be shown. they DON'T show Hillary and Bernie's speeches. it is discrimination.

I agree with you. . . I am SICK of seeing his tangerine hair and jaundiced-looking hide. ANYTHING he says (talking about the size of his "pee pee", etc) is broadcast and rebroadcast and rebroadcast and so on. . .

Leslie Moonves on Donald Trump:
<snip>
Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

"I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going," said Moonves.
<snip>
"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," he said of the presidential race.
<snip>
Donald's place in this election is a good thing," he said Monday at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco...

"There's a lot of money in the marketplace," the exec said of political advertising so far this presidential season."
