Someday the Corporate Masters will admit they wrongly gave us Trump.

We heard it during the 2016 run up from a few media Corporate overlords.
“Trump May be a horrible person and would be a horrible President, but he’s great for our ratings and our profit margins”.

So, they went along and gave him hundreds of millions in free advertising and went along with the fake and false equivalency stories and whataboutism garbage stuff on Hillary of the nothing burger missing emails and regurgitated Benghazi and Clinton foundation’s tripe.
All along, they knew that Hillary was eminently more qualified than Trump on every level from experience to intelligence to temperament to sanity.

But, the lure of the sick story that was Trump was just toooooo tempting not to give into.

Someone, someday may just beg forgiveness on their deathbed for the role that they played.
Or, maybe they won’t.
Sigh. And as Great Leader always says, “we’ll see what happens”.
My question is: when will their greed be overcome by the shame & humiliation that Trump brings?

1. Personally, the "free advertising" (exposure) should have worked against trump

unless the voter is greedy, racist, misogynistic, etc.

People knew the truth about trump. They either liked it, or didn’t care.

Don’t believe the fault lies with “corporate media.”

2. You know the expression - just spell my name right. It's true.

3. It's not about the truth. It's about the ratings. In order to keep viewers,

they have to keep their interest so we get tabloid reporting even when they know it's bs.

4. And isn't that so sad. News should never turn a profit.

True journalists knew this and still know it.
Making it a profit center has led to infotainment and Faux News and a con man President.

5. Someday the Corporate Masters will admit Citizen's United is destroying the United States

The Corporations thought only they would control the politicians. The corporations never counted on foreign countries and their leaders would also buy their own US politicians. Thus, foreign leaders can ultimately buy the United States government and control its policies toward their respective countries and governments. Why have a physical war when you can buy what you want?
