Big Corp. Media Desperately Wants Romney to Get The Nomination

They desperately want Romney because he has a ton of money, and his super pac will also spend money. And, what will they spend money on? TV advertising.

Neither Rick nor Newt have a lot of money, and they won't spend nearly as much money on TV advertising.

They are overstating how well Romney did tonight, IMO he did only very slightly better than Santorum and Santos best moments were better than Romney's.

in Iowa, the money goes to a huge conglomerate? I am so naive. I think they like him because he makes it crystal clear he is 100% behind making money and paying no taxes.

Some affiliate stations are owned outright by big corp. media. Also, don't forget that CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC also sell time in local markets.
