CEO of CBS News Caught Celebrating Trump’s Bigotry:He’s Making Us ‘Phenomenal’ Profits

[arcane1]

At a recent investors’ presentation, CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves revealed his hand: Donald Trump’s bigotry is “phenomenal” for the company’s profits and ratings, and he hopes the Donald keeps escalating.

“Go Donald! Keep getting out there!” Moonves said at the UBS Bank-sponsored event.

The CBS chief went on to laud the ever-increasing flow of cash into political advertising campaigns as great for business, saying, “The more they spend, the better it is for us.”

“We’re looking forward to a very exciting political year in ’16,” Moonves said to investors. The Intercept noted that these remarks came before Trump’s call to ban all Muslims from the US, although Moonves still likely saw a boost in ratings from Trump’s outlandish proposals to register all US Muslims in a database and require practitioners of Islam to publicly identify their religious affiliation, along with Trump’s racist comments toward Mexican immigrants when he first announced his presidential campaign.

8. And when the country finally goes to hell in a handbasket

he and his friends in the 1% can always relocate to one of their properties overseas, preferably one with armed guards to keep the rabble out.

They are able to think they set the agenda for

Gold mine nobody in the 99-percent gets to see, because...you know.

Ha ha. It is to laugh.

14. Here is some food for thought, the media may price themselves right out of the market

As more campaign ads are coming in at a higher price, many corporations whose advertising dollars that are not going as far as they use to, may change their ad campaigns just for survival sake. Another words, corporations may move their ads to another medium and not come back. If Television is not going to support their viewers, how long do you think it is going to take before screw over the people who pay to have their ads aired. A total meltdown is enviable with this type of revenue strategy.
