The After-Scam

Seems the folks at NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC are really ticked at Trump. Turns out they don’t like being misinformed and manipulated. In other words, they’re getting a taste of what viewers have been thinking about NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC.

reporters again. It's been decades since they did that, and it sure would be a GREAT IMPROVEMENT! The ;ast real news reporters were Cronkite, Murrow, and their peers. THAT was the 60's!

For one thing, they're terrified that if they switch from covering the latest exhibitionism from some harebrained Kardashian kid, the viewers will get bored and switch off and they might be right. People are so used to infotainment that they will be annoyed if someone suddenly expects them to think about what they're learning. Also, an informed public can be an angry and activist public and that might eventually derail the corporate gravy train at the very top.

In other words, don't hold your breath.

What might happen is the ones with a few shreds of integrity left will quit and write tell all books.

He dragged them into this controversial situation and I believe he embarrassed them. They should all feel manipulated and played by Trump as well. I'm waiting for the first one of these MOH guys to come out and state that they too have been played or rickrolled by Trump.

They should all hide their heads in shame for supporting Trump - a known con man and liar.
