The media is already spinning it for Don the Con

[malaise]

Settlement doesn't mean that's there's any wrong doing on his part Yeh right!!!

[Maven]

1. Can you imagine what they'd be saying if it were HRC? nt

[malaise]

3. Roger Ailes also settled

I still can't process what happened last week.

[workinclasszero]

14. The damn news media would hound her out of office!

[riversedge]

2. Trump also has to pay 1 Million to the state of NY for violating Education Laws. How's that for the

#lawandOrder President!!

[malaise]

4. They may be the Con of this century

Shakes head

[FarPoint]

5. They ALWAYS have done this ....

They will continue with the false normalization...ignore the insanity because they have a good job and want to keep such a job....spin the propaganda...Corporate Monopoly of the media has us, "we the people" by out balls.

[malaise]

6. Indeed

They are a major part of the problem

7. Is this truly surprising?

Consider:

Leslie Moonves can appreciate a Donald Trump candidacy.
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.
"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," he said of the presidential race.
Moonves called the campaign for president a "circus" full of "bomb throwing," and he hopes it continues.
"Most of the ads are not about issues. They're sort of like the debates," he said.
"Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now? ... The money's rolling in and this is fun," he said.

So as long as the money is rolling in this is fun? Well yes, because it is good for CBS and its millionaire CEO.

8. Yes they are collectively on a high

right now.

[guillaumeb]

9. And their high will continue.

The rich prosper no matter who is in charge because they own the people who make the rules.

If Trump decides that the media enjoys too much protection, especially in the matter of libel law, perhaps the corporate media will decide to actually report the news instead of focusing on the sensational.

[duffyduff]

10. And that followed what Jeff Zucker was doing. Moonves merely followed suit. n/t

[guillaumeb]

11. Well, they are all about making money.

There is no television news, it is entertainment meant to divert. Climate change was not even a topic during the Presidential "debates", except when Hillary Clinton mentioned it.

MSNBC is better than the rest, but even the better is not really that good. And the corporate press is no better than the broadcast media when it comes to discussion of actual issues.

13. May he receive his just rewards. nt

[WhiteTara]

12. Oh my. I'm going to have to work

on my gag reflex or I will give myself an esophageal hernia from puking so much!

[spanone]

15. we can no longer trust any part of the media.

they elected the birther.

they gave trump a pass on his rabid bitherism.

i will never forgive or forget that.

[TrekLuver]

16. That is part of the deal....that he admits to no wrong doing.......how is that spin?
