I think they see their jobs as pushing propaganda to those who may be vulnerable to it, which is still a huge chunk of the country (we see the same here, by the way). For the others, including most FReepers, they don’t really care what we think of them as there’s nothing they can do (at this point) to silence us.
So, if they can simply get HALF of the country to believe things like:
1. Safe and Effective
2. No Provocation
3. Russian ‘Collusion’
4. Ukraine is fighting for ‘Democracy’
5. The border is secure
Then it’s still better than having all of the country believing the opposite. So they stick around, regardless of how much we mock them.
Some people buy their drugs on the street and others need CNN to supply their fix. As long as there are enough of those delusionists around the network should still find a place.
