“Are they just that stupid or are they complicit”

Complicit. Campy Brown dated a Saudi prince when the King of Arabia visited the Bush ranch. She buried stories of their demands about women not being visible at the airport,, etc.

Muslim oil money has bought many politicians (Carter, for example) and is deep in many media companies. If you don't toe the line, they'll fire you and hire someone who will.

For Brown, she may just be that stupid, or she may realize that speaking the truth is double ungood, and should not be done.

With most media on subscription service now, many outlets don't give a fig about ratings anymore.

Quick example. TVLand used to get very high ratings. A buddy of Rosanne Barr became director of programming, so Rosanne is on all the time. The ratings stink. However, TVLand still gets their monthly fee from the cable companies, and Roseanne makes a FORTUNE from the reruns of her shows, despite the fact that a rerun of a Billy Mays infomercial will match it in ratings.
