    Don’t these media outlets understand they will be among the first to get thrown into prison camps when conservative dictatorship and revenge is in full swing?

    Ahahahahahahahahahahaha

    “Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” Moonves said, noting, “[t]here’s a lot of money in the marketplace.”

    The 2016 campaign is a “circus,” he remarked, but “Donald’s place in this election is a good thing.” “Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” Moonves went on. "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.”

    They cannot look beyond the money and their narcissism tells them their money will outlast the fascistic rise they helped to foment. Same reason the billionaires are building their bunkers. They believe they can remain safe via their money

      These media outlets basically created Trump’s brand, and “bOtH siDeS” absolutely because it wasn’t conservative news media clips the alt-right were gleefully consuming in 2016, it was compilations of liberal news anchors with “shocked” expressions reciting the latest Trump tweets. Can’t believe it’s still happening but we’re back to Trump outrage news cycles and online reactions to it just like 2016.

      Even if the fascists go all-out against the media companies, the CEOs steering these decisions won’t care - they’ve all got millions and millions of dollars, and they’ll have enough lead time to simply hop on their luxury private jet and fly away from any looming danger.
