TV media want a Trump win, not a horse race. [View all]

Everything comes back to profit. Think about it, who would be better for the cable news business? Hillary, or Trump? Some of them have already expressed their glee at what Trump has done for their profits. You think they want this to end?

A Trump presidency would complete the revolution of TV cable news into that of high drama entertainment. There would never be a slow news day with that clown in the White House. You see how CNN is with plane crashes? Think about how excited a 4 year train wreck would get them. Under Trump, Most people would be so terrified as to never turn off the news, and they know it.

These news execs know full well Trump would be bad for America. But he would be great for their programing, ratings and profit. Trump's White House would be a 24/7 reality TV show. The buffoonery, civil unrest, unhinged press conferences and endless scandals would be merely the intro.

Hillary will prevail and demographics will be why, but in the interest of public health, don't get caught up in the BS that is cable news.
