Since Donnie Shit for Brains was fundraising off of his "address"

Didn't the networks give him an "in-kind" campaign contribution?

Shouldn't they be required to file whatever paperwork is required for in-kind contributions?

Won't the Donnie Short Fingers campaign need to report this in-kind contribution?

There is going to come a point where the entire news media in this country is going to have to be torn down and rebuilt. Their "both-siderism" and "conspiracy with the right-wing" is completely unacceptable.

Did they know he would be fundraising off of this speech IN REAL TIME when they gave him his "deference"?

The whole fucking power structure of the networks needs to be in front of a Congressional Committee under oath...PRONTO!

When all is said and done at the end of this, nothing, no one will emerge unscathed. This was, is, a great evil perpetrated against the citizens of this country, and it was only possible with active cogs in every facet of our government power structures, and with at least the passive complicity of the big television/cable network ceos.

If we leave a single element of this great cabal intact, it will inevitably the weilded against us again one day.

We must raze it to the ground, and rebuild anew. Nothing less will suffice and is only a stop-gap before the next assault upon the American republic.

Reporters have confirmed that Trump told network execs at lunch yesterday that he didn't really want to do the address, didn't think it would change anything but his advisors told him to do the speech to get his message across. So the head honchos knews there wasn't going to be any groundbreaking announcement or national emergency declaration involved or any compelling reason to allow him the primetime slot.
