Well, you’re wrong.
They get all their money from the advertising cost of consumer spending. All welfare, and most other government spending, is a government subsidy of consumer spending.
IE: it’s money in their pockets.
Democrats advance government spending.
Now a wise man once said he can tell where a man got his opinions by where that man got his ‘money’.
And he was right. You should heed Mark Twain.
That was awesome. Thanks for posting!
Nope, they’re Dem partisans because Dem policies make them the most money.
The USA is confronted by three enemies:
1. Islamic terrorists
2. The radical left
3. The Mainstream Media
And, of the three, the most dangerous is the Media. Because, without the Media's support, the other two enemies would've been defeated a decade ago.
Excellent piece
The problem with your argument is that it applies to everything. Virtually everyone gets money from consumer spending, one way or another. Yes, government subsidies encourage consumer spending in some ways, and discourage it in others. Because govenment tends to be quite wasteful, there would likely be more consumer spending with smaller government, not less.
Much of the old media is failing, not getting enough money to survive, because they put agenda over money. CNN and MSNBC could put on conservatives, and gain audience, but the will not, because it does not promote the agenda.
Money is far from the most potent motivator, especially once survival is ensured.
Ted Cruz is a once in a generation, perhaps lifetime, political superstar. We are so fortunate that he has come along now at this time in history.
I don’t understand the point of your “applies to everything” criticism. Why must it only apply to the media to be true [and it definitely doesn’t apply to investment or savings]?
And yes, temporarily, everyone benefits from consumer spending- until the debt has to be paid!
Media, like most corporations, looks only to the next quarter, or maybe year.
Government subsidies of investment- which media doesn’t benefit from- are typically Republican policies.
Government subsidies of spending- which media does benefit from- are typically Dem policies.
Government subsidies of spending: entitlements, will soon take all government revenue. The media is profiting greatly from it’s support of Dems.
The 7+ trillion of debt under Obama has gone mostly to consumer spending, so he’s been good for over a half-trillion of dollars for media.
TV shows are for advertisers, advertisers don't want hard-headed, tight-fisted conservative viewers LOL! They want 'dumb sluts' who'll part with their money as unquestioningly as possible: Dems.
Not as simplistic as it sounds...
Bookmark.
The media play Juan like a Stradivarius - and he has no clue that to them he’s just a useful idiot.
Cruz definitely.
Paul possibly, but I’m not into Libertarians.
It would be worth a Cruz candidacy just to watch him tie the media into knots. And you KNOW he would.
you do NOT have my permission to add me to ANY list.
DON’T do it.
We agree on something! :)
Excellent article-A Must-Read for any candidate running against a Democrat.
