In reply to the discussion: WTF is wrong with MSNBC? Right now Tweety breaks away from [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,493 posts)28. I have a theory I have been thinking about these last couple of days.
What if they gave Trump all of that air time from start to finish (this part is fact, especially MSNBC) to make him the Republican so they could drive everyone to Hillary to make sure she wins instead of one of the crazy Republicans like Cruz. Trump will play ball with the other Oligarch's and stands to benefit no matter what happens next. They know Hillary has a lot of baggage and might not make it without their thumbs all over the scale.
Just something to chew on to explain all of Trump's coverage. I don't believe they do it just for ratings. The election is more important to the owners of the MSM than a little more ad dollars that a few more viewers would bring. The viewers that just want to see a train wreck say crazy shit!
