I bet you if more of our corporate leaders demure to his craven demands that he'll just go away and be reasonable.
Exactly, spineless fuckers can't stand their ground at all in the situation where it is known that if you ignore him - he can't do anything about it.
These media outfits have forgotten the old saying "Don't fuck with people who buy their ink by the barrel." If these networks got together and started a strategic media campaign against Trump and MAGA, people would be demanding their heads in 8 weeks, even many MAGA followers. They are extremely stupid, ignorant, gullible, and malleable If the media pulled out all the stops, they could convert them easily.
The problem is, those media companies are becoming owned by conservative companies, and now CBS is owned by Larry Ellison, 2nd richest man, and a vicious Psychopathic MAGA. ABC is owned by Disney, who seems to have no problems appeasing the administration. And NBC is owned by Comcast, a company who consistently places at or near the top of the worst customer service. They clearly don't care how their customers feel.
These broadcast companies are perfectly comfortable playing along with, and being media shills for, the MAGA Nazis.
Except that MAGA is immune to facts and logic. It's all Fox News/OANN/AmericaFirst or whatever that thing from Steve Bannon is called.
Just repeat the fact enough times and it will get in. They're immune to facts, but not rhetoric.
I'm not sure why people expected them to do anything else.
These companies exist to make money not resist fascism. If they can do both that's great but they will always choose money.
They have no morals and they don't care what happens in the world so long as stock ticker goes up. The incentives don't allow for anything else.
A company also has to do whatever they can to protect their markets, and keep them healthy. Participating in a ever growing circle of bribery, intimidation, threats, and escalating demands isn't going to be good for the market, or the company itself.
When DeSatan's hand-picked board took over the governance of Disney world's property, one of his choices was a church lady, who immediately declared that Disney would be forced to submit all of their movies to the board, who would demand changes before allowing the release. She said it out loud, directly to a reporter, knowing it would be published. She was already making extreme demands.
Eventually, the government will be approving all programming, which will become extremely boring, and the market will turn away. Perhaps then then these corporate boot-lickers will realize that they would have been better off resisting.
