The news sources have been ROLLING in riches off this presidential issue—the ABC debate, despite being God Awful, was the third highest-rated show in the Nielsen ratings last week (first and second place were both American Idol, furthering my comparison between said show and the primaries). When Obama was behind, the news outlets were going crazy for kneepads and a spot under his desk. Now that Hillary is behind, they dare not say a thing about her, but will crucify Obama at every opportunity.
Being profitable is much, much more important to the news stations than telling the news. In fact, telling the news isn’t even on their radar. They’ll drive this country into the ground if it will improve their second quarter earnings. Consequently, they will do anything they can to keep Hillary in the race. Not because they support Hillary Clinton, but because if she drops out, they’ll have to go find real news, and possibly (though probably not) actual research.
