if they reported on Trump's colorful scandals.

I was just listening to Sarah Kendzior talking about her book "Hiding in Plain Sight" and she said it's strange that the corporate media aren't acting in their own corporate interest. Splashing lurid exciting stories about Trump's mafia ties, espionage, sexual assault, treason, relationships with celebrities, etc. across their front pages: guaranteed big sellers because people LOVE that. She used to work for the New York Daily News. But they bury these stories and it's been going on for decades.

Pity the owners of tabloids and such don't act in their own company's financial interest. They ignore the pay-dirt actual scandals in favor of boring fictional scandals about Democrats.
