Why do the cable networks kiss Trump's ass?

[EricMaundry]

Because that's where the ratings are. The average cable news watcher is male, white and over 50 years of age. The Trump demo. And the talking heads fear alienating these folks. Cable news watchers are about 1% of the US population, therefore for CNN, Fox and MSNBC every lard ass brain dead couch potato that watches their bullshit counts.

My solution? Boycott cable news.

1. I kept turning them off

2. I'm male, white, and over 50, and watch cable. I support HRC.

You might want to consider a smaller brush to paint with next time.

3. Advertisement revenue must be down.

To get more ad revenue you need to create the perception the Presidential race is close. So we donate money for campaign ads to convince the ignorant to do the right thing. By now people should know what they are doing and have solid opinions.

4. Trump will be the first one to eliminate "the press"

I thought these people needed to go to college to be reporters.

5. Not only that he's one of them

They're all part of the same media model that glorifies conflict, be it guest pundits or reality TV participants.

6. And add to that the fact that they're a bunch of cowardly punk asses. Which would explain

why a rancid sack of undead shit like Cheney could get in their faces lie to them and insult them. And the reply would be; "Thank you sir!! May I have another!!"

Democrats don't approach things like that. So the so called press can get all "tough guy/gal" on them and feel like they're holding someone accountable.

7. It's not just the cable networks. ABC, NBC, and CBS are just as bad.

8. We could use some good online media to promote our side of the issues ...

but, for the most part, we don't have that.

9. Been cable free for awhile. Stream everything using Roku.

Vice, John Oliver and Bill Maher are the only news programs we watch.
