It wasn't supposed to work out this way. Only Deplorables would lose THEIR jobs, so the plan went...

Notice that the media folks are sending women with the nasty questions.

More signs that we are headed for economic trouble. The big boys are desperately trying to hide it all so they can salvage as much as they can before the leave the little people holding the bag.

Maybe a few of these corporate brands are finally figuring out that many of us do not watch the garbage news and TV shows these networks churn out day after day. Even Three’s Company looks like Masterpiece Theatre compared to a lot of the trash on nowadays.

It should be interesting how much, and where, the (reduced) monies may go.

There's an interesting dynamic at work here.
Some of these corporate giants are cutting their ads because customers are losing discretionary income.
Others may be cutting their ads because they don't NEED ads right now. Does Domino's Pizza really need to advertise at a time when restaurants are closed for sit-down service all over the country?

Good, the networks can make their own cuts, perhaps starting with the children they send to the WH pressers.

Advertising work is fundamentally parasitic, drawing resources from food in stomach, clothes on back, shelter over head. Pushing obsessive consumption of unnecessary items, by playing on a wide array of vices., and warped responses to beauty and pleasure.

“No advertisers” pretty much means “no TV”.
And the downside is?

Maybe the sponsors are waiting for the way this whole re assessment of the "O" Presidency will shake out. It's pretty definite that Liberals and for sure, the "O" Presidency are in line for a black eye. It's possible that the sponsors feel a need to 're calibrate' their promotions.😊 I sure hope so! I'm real tired of the Ra Ra Liberal message!

Thanks to recent corporate decisions, CFA recently had to begin aggressively advertising, and still does in my neighborhood.
