Why MSM will never investigate election fraud.

"Don't worry, no one is watching TV anymore," President Barak Obama, during a simulcast to Iowa voters on caucus night.

No one may be watching television any longer, but our MSM disseminates the official story (brought to you by the highest bidder), and they aren't required to air opposing viewpoints. Cable subscriptions are in an unprecedented decline.

According to the Convergence Consulting report, “The Battle for the North American Couch Potato: Bundling, TV, Internet,Telephone, Wireless,” 2.65 million American multichannel subscribers cut their cords between 2008-2011 and switched to over-the-top (OTT) services like Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX) to get their video programming. The report says that only 112,000 cable, satellite and telco TV service subscriptions were added in the U.S. last year — less than a third of the 380,000 added subscriptions that Leichtman Research Group reported last month while auditing only the top multi-channel programming services.

So where are advertising dollars coming from? Large chunks are going to be coming from billionaires like the Koch brothers.

A study conducted by USC's Annenberg School for Communication and the University of Wisconsin-Madison analyzed newscasts of 122 local TV stations in the nation's largest media markets during the 2002 mid-term elections. They found that the majority of the newscasts at these stations did not contain a single campaign story.

...

It is assumed -- generally by newscast consultants hired by the stations -- that election news does not help ratings. Even so, political advertising is a major source of revenue for the stations.

1. The corporate media benefit from election fraud

That's the real reason the MSM will never investigate it--unless they, or one of theirs, is in danger.

2. You could've limited your OP to 11 words -

political advertising is a major source of revenue for the stations

3. What would have happened if WI Public Radio would have said it

was ludicrous for NBC to call the vote so early? If non-political types are the only ones watching broadcast news, won't other news sources have more muscle?

4. They do the bidding of the corporate RW overlords.
