Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed and that right soon. Meanwhile, Les Moonves of CBS says that the Trump campaign is terrific for CBS's bottom line. If one network head cheese says that out loud, you can bet the others are thinking it. When someone does get laid up for an extended hospital stay or laid out in the morgue, you can bet that all the talking chuckleheads will cluck sympathetically, maybe even voice a reservation or two about "how far this has gone," but in the end, they'll all go right back to enthusiastic, uncritical coverage of the latest from the Trump campaign.
