In reply to the discussion: CNN's Ratings Have Cratered Since Trump Town Hall [View all]live love laugh

They will offer entertainment to generate revenue but journalism is all but dead. And they will try to hide their misdeeds by buying up social media which despite its flaws is still where truth can be found.
