Ya gotta wonder....

Doesn't it seem like the Media wants a Trump administration just to have the "red meat" of a story to display on TV, the newspapers, magazines and the internet? They think this is nothing but a circus that will not destroy lives and create ciaos in this country. They are doing it all for ratings and advertisement dollars. This is a prime example of American greed at work... Maybe they don't care if the US FALLS APART, there is great money to be made in that story!!

watchya think?

the media won't make as much money as if it were a horse race.

They are betting on Trump because they think Hillary will be boring as President. With a Trump in the White house, they will probably make a ton of money reporting on every little thing he does. Greed has no boundaries, even if the bad guy wins..

many of them probably are fully aware of how toxic his administration would be and of how much shady stuff his campaign is up to, but they won't cover it. They spend more time freaking out over an e-mail non-scandal than they cover Mr.Caterpillar Hair's unwillingness to release his tax returns, his university scam, or the Black housing controversy. They're obsessed with the e-mail story despite HC being cleared by the FBI a while ago. I try not to succumb to CT's, but I lost faith in almost all of TV news media. They're shameless and will do whatever it takes to keep eyeballs glued to the screen and to keep the Benjamin$ rolling in, even if it means helping to jeopardize the country's future.
