(14,838 posts)They just keep spouting their scripted crap. Their one and only goal is to get their talking points out, regardless of the question, or the context.
No reputable media outlet should invite them back.

(5,057 posts)This is bad news for Trump. It looks like the campaign is retreating to the bunkers of reichwing media sources. Instead of increasing their outreach they are battening down the hatches of the reichwing echo chamber. No wonder the low information Trump voters think he will win in a landslide. They are getting all their news from Breitbart and InfoWars...

(28,270 posts)The Trump forces are going to get extremely ugly now. They will play to their hateful base for post election profit.
What little pretense of normalcy they had is going to go out the window and vicious hate will take it's place when they realize they are going to lose the election.
Blue Idaho
(5,057 posts)Trump has said on several occasions that if he doesn't win it will be the single biggest waste of his time and money - ever. So it's possible that he will blame them for his loss too. Wouldn't that be a kick?
workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)Are going to build a hate network to rival Fox.
I hate to say this but they will rake in millions and millions and millions of dollars from the deplorables.
Hate sells in America big time. Trump will come out of this richer than ever I'm sad as hell to say.
kimbutgar
(21,195 posts)I think it will be hard for them to get financing for this endeavor unless Putin lets them take over RT network.
workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)The network is already in place then for Trump and Ailes, just change the branding to the Trump Network.
kimbutgar
(21,195 posts)I could see only a limited number of cable providers picking up RT. And Dish can be shamed into dropping RT. I watch it only for a Thom Hartmann.

(22,050 posts)The number of people who support Donald Trump is diminishing by the day. I don't think there will be enough of an audience for a 24/7 cable channel featuring Donald Trump and his views. The competition from Fox News and others is very steep.
Importantly, where will they get the advertising money to sustain such a channel? Major corporations have already shunned Mr. Trump and it's highly unlikely that they'll return to him following this ugly presidential campaign. Trump TV would be reduced to commercials usually seen on late-night television.
Lastly, cable operators are not required to carry every channel. Would Trump TV be able to find a carrier in the major markets? Keep in mind that Sarah Palin's shows couldn't sustain themselves and that's very small compared to an entire network. Additionally, look at how Rush Limbaugh's show has shrunken in both outlets and advertising.
So, Trump TV would probably try to transit on the internet which is a tough way to make money. Just ask Skinner, et al.! (wink)
workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)The same places that Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Savage and others get their ad dollars.
Hate sells or these fascists would have been off the air a long time ago.
PJMcK
(22,050 posts)Glenn Beck is off the air, sort of, (SORRY BUT IT'S BREITBART: http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/10/13/report-glenn-becks-blaze-falling-apart/).
Mr. Limbaugh has lost stations and business all over the country: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/05/is-rush-limbaugh-in-trouble-talk-radio-213914
Michael Savage has his own problems: http://www.snopes.com/michael-savage-removed/
Right-wing broadcasters aren't going away anytime soon. My point is that an entire network is a much larger undertaking than a single individual's career. It will probably end up like many other Trump endeavors: it'll fail
It's like in the music business: the performer records an album and makes some money. But the album is a promotional tool for the artists' concert tour; that's where they make their real money.
This is an analogy for these people. Their programs support their more lucrative endeavors such as books and lectures; that's where they make their real money.

(7,004 posts)His empire is crumbling. No banks will go near him. Everyone now sees what a lowlife he is. He will be in court forever and then prison.
BlueStreak
(8,377 posts)I could see them working together, but I don't see much of a benefit in trying to merge with RT because it is on in so few markets.
The game would be in getting onto basic cable in the major markets. That's a tall order.

(30,058 posts)words go away, Trump admitted to sexual assaults, nothing can change the behavior he has displayed in the past. His followers would allow him to rape and kill their mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and grandmothers and not change their minds about him. I have to say some people do not need to be voting and I am all for voting, Trump has to be the dumbest selection for any office.

(2,391 posts)She's been a pit bull with these clowns, embarrassing them and mucking up their pre-rehearsed talking points. And the Trump team's been upset with quite a few of the smarter hosts the last few days (Anderson Cooper especially, as his dam-breaking conversation with Trump at the debate AND his convo with Kellyanne Conway a few days later made them look terrible).
But they're taking their mad out on the cable show host who happens to be African American.
Hope they make sure to take their sippy-cups along with their blocks for the ride home with mommy in the minivan.
