12. But, He's Not
Thu Aug 29, 2024, 04:55 PM

The trendlines for revenue & profit for nearly all the major news organizations show correlation to time, only.
Aside from a 60 day bump in mid 2016, they don't make more money because of TFG.
Now, some in media management may believe that, but that requires ignoring their own financial statements.
Either that, or they support lower taxes because they all have 7 or 8 figure salaries.
But, the notion that he's good for their companies' bottom line is provably false.
Content churn seems to be a better explanation but they'd never admit that.
