“they don’t seem to care how low they go...nor how few are watching, reading, or listening.”
They don’t care because the advertisers keep bankrolling their business. The advertisers know that if they stop advertising, then they will become targets of the various democratic fringe groups with complaints of discrimination, etc. It has workedrepeatedly in the past and this is how Democracy works in the U.S.
Remember back about 20 years ago. Bill Gates was the worlds richest person, yet he was doing nothing of any political, social, envormental, etc benefit. Suddenly lawsuits against Micrsoft appeared all over the world which were eventually settled. Now we have the Bill and Malinda Gates foundation supporting one the main bastions of the Democratic party, education.
It is nothing more that the Jesse Jackson shakedown. Thatis how the democratic party works. That is why the advertisers stay with the broken, corrupt media.
