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? 

Perhaps because they can't, at the same time, pander to both conservatives and liberals, and choose the latter since they don't want to take the risk of abandonning the audience they already have?

 

If CNN would start praising Trump from one day to another, they would lose their current base, and would have to battle fox for their already established audience. 

 

Taking the middle ground is a guaranteed disaster, as liberals would prefer MSNBC and conservatives would prefer FOX.

 

Staying consistent in the message they send is essential to all corporate news organizations, not because they care about the message, but because they need it, as a buisness.
