He’s their cash cow.

But there’s a pretty good chance that Trump will put them out of business. That’s especially true for the New York Times and the Washington Post.

They don’t realize that they would be transformed into state-run media if he wins.

On Jan. 6, even the asses at Fox reached out to him to beg and order that he put an end to the violence. They seem to have forgotten their momentary reality check, much like McConnell, Graham, McCarthy, and a pile of other Republicans who cowered while Capitol Police risked their lives to protect them. Those texts were published. They should be on billboards in red and purple states.

Barbara, maybe becoming a tool of the state is what they, the guys with the money, at the top, are hoping for.

So those "guys with the money" won't be "tools of the state", they ARE THE STATE! They have control: his reelection allows them to come into the light! Regardless of who wins and looses, there WILL BE VIOLENCE. That's all these RACIST PRICKS know, and they are very well armed.

Our problem is dumb, greedy Billionaires who not only don't know History like what happened to a lot of the Rich Guys financing Hitler, but don't seem to notice Putin's Oligarch Friends falling from windows if they disagree or he needs their cash. Historically a Supreme Leader like Henry 8th having dinner at Hampton Court really liked the place and it's owner was soon beheaded, his mansion going to the King. With a Democracy there are barriers to this. That's our Checks and Balances of 3 branches which Republicans have destroyed. The Owners of the NYT and WaPo are not realizing that they will eventually be on the chopping block. No one is exempt. Hitler took his Brown Shirts out. Trump will do the same thing to MAGAs after they give him the Presidency.

Maybe they don't want their buildings and offices burned down. The media had their chance to nip this in the bud after Jan 6th but money got in the way.

The corporate owners of media companies only care about money.

Barbara, it's too bad they, the media, supposedly smart people, can't see what Trump is doing to this nation and that they are colluding with him.

The editorial board is separate from the news division. The board endorsed Harris but reporters continue to sanewash rump. If they’re backing rump, there seems to be a whiff of white supremacy in addition to corporate greed.
