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.

You mean like the large sponser companies that are throwing their weight around by making sure anyone who dares side with the Conservatives is let go and made an example of?  You would have a point there. Why those stations don't go out an find Conservative minded sponsers for those shows then? Maybe conflict of interest, maybe the station agree's with their obvious position? I don't know about you, but I could never work somewhere that was against my interests, and not just money. Which makes you have to wonder about all the people that actually work there.

LOL, I hope you are being sacastic Trump has done zilch for the poor.  As a matter of fact the only people he helped out so far is the mega rich by giving them further tax breaks.

Trump has accomplished very little so far in general. Which isn't surprising either, seeing the push back he gets from the left, and some of the core right, for absolutely everything he does. Trump can't breathe without being torn apart, by how he was breathing through his mouth instead of his nose, and what kind of idiot doesn't know its better to breathe through the nose? How can he be President? This childish thinking and nonsense is clearly more widespread than just the MSM, and it just gets in the way. Just the rich are getting tax breaks? I'm pretty sure everyone is basically getting a break, to bring back business and allow for new business to start up and stay in America and thrive. Hopefully leading to more better paying jobs, and more wealth overall. Thats not to say thats exactly what is going to happen, but that is the plan.
