Media head admits they are propping up Trump for the ratings.
Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues. “Most of the ads are not about issues.

Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald.

The media isn't interested in anything but the cash it is hauling in. If it means keeping Trump in the headlines they'll keep doing it

Donald Trump's job was making cash for his business, but that seems to be distasteful to the anti-Trumps.

So is George Soros' job. It isn't that he made money, it is how. I remember when Conservatives used to stand strong against and speak out against Cronyism. Palin is often credited as coining or at least popularizing the phrase "Crony Capitalist".

There's no more crony capitalism in Trump's history than is expected by government from all very large businesses. Sarah Palin obviously saw that; she endorsed him.

Bump for current relevance...
Remember, Trump was the media's chosen candidate. They admitted propping him up for the ratings and $$$$$$$.....
He was their missing airliner times 100.

Bullsh*t. Or are you one of Trump's business confidants? Have you spoken with him of his daughter's bust size, and whether she's "au naturel" or not? Perhaps he gave you lessons in <kitty> grabbing?
