Remember the media profits....

When the political environment is evenly divided and contentious. To think they they don't skew back and forth to play both side and stir more division is to miss the point of a "for profit" media company.

Profit is the key word.


On Edit: You don't hear many stories on TV about how well they are doing this election cycle with Billions injected in the form of ads. Political advertising has become a leading industry in this nation. Can anyone possibly think a business is going to give that up freely?

If you only paid attention to the MSM in Texas, you would have no idea that a Democrat was running for Senate.
