Re: news business

The news stopped being about facts when it became a profit center. Only when it was a loss leader were you MAYBE getting more unbiased opinions because there was no pressure to perform. CNN is just as bad as Fox News. They publish what their audiences gobble up.

It's kind of bizarre watching someone attack the only conservative president since Reagan as not being conservative. You can have your war mongering and self anointed do-nothings like the Bushes, I'll take the man that actually fought the swamp. He's a populist authoritarian. That's why people don'...
