‘Conservative’ Media Exposes Itself with Trump Obsession
the worst possible development for a “conservative” news/opinion outlet would be to have a Republican president. It would be ratings and content death for them, especially considering the only type of Republican that the news media would ever allow to be elected (Walker?) would have to be at least somewhat boring.
.. I am not alleging “conspiracy” here. There is no meeting which outlines the secret plan to make sure that a Republican president doesn’t make life more difficult and less profitable for conservative news outlets. It is simply a situation where everyone individually pursues their own obvious self-interest. In short, the “conservative” media simply doesn’t care that it is doing things which hinder the cause of beating Hillary Clinton, especially when it is bringing good ratings in the short run.
.. The bottom line here is that Hillary Clinton (who has made it clear she fears Walker and Rubio most) could not be happier with how things are progressing on the Republican side. She is an incredibly vulnerable candidate, but the seeds of her likely ultimate victory are currently being sown by those wrongly perceived to be her political enemies.
