Well just say no, networks! No one is forcing you to drop everything and air this airhead’s blather.
How many times did you refuse to give George W. Bush air time when he requested it? And patted yourselves on the back for your courage?
Sorry, I hope he asks for free air time every other day for the next nine months. If you network bigwigs are too dumb to say no to him, you deserve to be bankrupted.
“No one is forcing you to drop everything and air this airhead’s blather.”
Yet.
My mistake. I forgot about that Dear Leader will simply declare martial law and take over the airwaves and send trucks with loudspeakers into every neighborhood to air his airheaded blather.
I agree. They created him; they can have him. Whether they will eventually start to play their game of "We built him up; we can tear him down," or whether they have entirely too much invested him him to make that switch is something only time will tell. We are starting to live "in interesting times", aren't we.
