By firing BB, the network protected trumpft, they got rid of the one person who would remind everyone about the tape. BB was an employee, and trumpft was the golden goose at the time. I really can't imagine BB giving trumpft a stern lecture on how inappropriate his comments were.
trumpft does understand what it means to be on tape, he plays the media really well. He's not stupid and he doesn't have dementia, but he's ok with people thinking that because then they underestimate him.

And these days the late night comedians have become part of the news...

They did not help Hillary to be taken seriously. Dealing with Trump was better for ratings. We live and learn. Not sad to see Matt Lauer go.

(205,508 posts)Coincidentally, I was lucky enough to be in the studio audience for both of them - back in 2008. Letterman was an obvious fan of both Clintons, had them on many times. That said, I think Stephen Colbert has turned out to be a brilliant replacement - he not only keeps up with breaking news, but he gets many of his guests from whatever the country is talking about!
And I completely agree about the Clinton campaign - it was all Trump, all the time. I got to the point that I finally just stopped watching.
