“Big media is all about ratings, view, and clicks, ...”

I no longer believe that this is true. CNN has NO ratings, and pays to be on in every airport in the country.

The era of free-market advertising paying for public media is dead.

The money comes from somewhere other than product sails. Agendas are being sold, not razor blades. Big money funds media to change and control public thought.

The “ratings” sophistry is used to cover over this. Media is pushing the agenda it is paid to push.

CNN is AT&T.

AT&T has very deep pockets.

Is AT&T anti trump? Is ATT antiAmerica?

I don’t know. The evidence is yes,
