That was the whole reason they did an Arnold on us. Business decision. They wanted to get the CNN/MSNBC watchers who are more centrist than their core watchers..we will see how it works for them. If anyone thinks any of the networks give a damn about anything but their bottom lines, then they are naive. Including Newsmax or OAN. They have their own business model - to reel in the disenchanted Fox viewers, until their business model changes. Want the best TV there is? Turn it off and read a good book.. (this forum is good for rants, isn’t?)
If media companies were only concerned about the bottom line, their partisan divide would mirror that of the population. It doesn’t. They’re all on the Left. There is vast market share waiting to be had on the Right with no competitors vying for it. Clearly their ideology is winning out over the bottom line.
