    They don’t care about anything but money. CBS CEO himself said it plain as day

    He also said the 2016 presidential election is a “circus” and that there is a lot of “bomb throwing” — and he hopes it keeps on like that.

    “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said Monday at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

    “Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates. … Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he added. “I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

    He also said that, “Donald’s place in this election is a good thing.”

    Clearly nothing has changed in that regard. I guess the billionaires that own the big media corps also would rather Donald and his tax breaks for the wealthy over any dem, so there’s that too. They are confident they can outlast the fascism they’ve been helping to usher in.
