At a recent investors presentation, CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves revealed his hand: Donald Trumps bigotry is phenomenal for the companys profits and ratings, and he hopes the Donald keeps escalating.
Go Donald! Keep getting out there! Moonves said at the UBS Bank-sponsored event.
The CBS chief went on to laud the ever-increasing flow of cash into political advertising campaigns as great for business, saying, The more they spend, the better it is for us.
Were looking forward to a very exciting political year in 16, Moonves said to investors. The Intercept noted that these remarks came before Trumps call to ban all Muslims from the US, although Moonves still likely saw a boost in ratings from Trumps outlandish proposals to register all US Muslims in a database and require practitioners of Islam to publicly identify their religious affiliation, along with Trumps racist comments toward Mexican immigrants when he first announced his presidential campaign.

(2,943 posts)As more campaign ads are coming in at a higher price, many corporations whose advertising dollars that are not going as far as they use to, may change their ad campaigns just for survival sake. Another words, corporations may move their ads to another medium and not come back. If Television is not going to support their viewers, how long do you think it is going to take before screw over the people who pay to have their ads aired. A total meltdown is enviable with this type of revenue strategy.
