Is CNN going to finally curb their practice of "fake news?"

They're not politicians, they are a buisness. They pander to a certain audience, but fundamentaly, they don't care about who leads the country.

If that were true, then considering that there are many other "alternative" non MSM "news" sources, with WAY higher viewership, then these businesses would change their model to steal some of those customers for themselves. Thats not to say they would change from a purely Liberal perspective to a Conservative perspective, but they would certainly try and split the difference as much as possible to gain viewers without losing too many.

They most certainly do care who is President, considering most of the people who work or are associated with the MSM, are city people, who all voted for Hillary, based on the electoral map. The Democates tend to cater more to the urban area's, and Republicans cater more the the rural. Add to that someone like Trump, who is also pushing to help the poor, lost, and forgotten, who are most certainly not part of the the MSM, you can easily see why they hate him so much and want him out.

I think you overestimate how much individuals invest themselves into politics. For 20 000$, I'd vote for whom ever asks. I doubt that these people would prioritize their political beliefs over something that concerns them personally, their career/profits. Perhaps, if the choice presents itself, their beliefs may sway decisions one way or another, put at its core, we are all individuals caring above all about what concerns us directly.
