31. NBC as well as every other network only cares about its advertisers

Sat Sep 13, 2025, 02:20 PM

Saturday

If the advertisers are Chump-loving MAGAs, or just conservative one-per-centers, they will be concerned and perhaps even cancel their business if NBC looks like it's going "woke" and anti-Chump.

I'm sorry to break this bad news to you, but this is the reality in America. The TV advertisers pay their bills and that's what pays NBC's salaries and keeps the lights on.

Let's maybe examine who the advertisers are on the major networks, and what influences their decision-making. How can we influence them about what should be considered news and editorial matter on the public channels?

Turning off the news in anger doesn't change a thing.
