OK, so the directors of these companies have the choice to
1) get approval for a multi-billion dollar deal and make huge profits, or
2) keep a not-very-popular comedian on the air.
And you think that 2) is the wise business choice.
Yup. Because trying to wring profits out of the mad kings approval is a bet that only a sucker would make. He's just going to sue them for eleventy gajillion dollars next week no matter what they do. Maybe he has their funds frozen on accident, but no one can admit the mad king made an accident, so they stay that way. Maybe he's sufficiently pleased and greenlights the deal, with the condition that he gets a 90% cut.
I'd market off of the whole thing, personally. The mad king wouldn't be able to stop talking about it if they poked that bear, he'd be a 24/hr babbling infomercial for the network - and every other network would have to talk about it because it's the fucking president of the us, lol.
They need to do something to get the youngs back. Cable subscribers are dying off at an alarming rate. But who cares, right? Because the problem isn't what some dipshit company full of mentally challenged lickspittles do, it's that the us government is being used to both silence and force us speech, period. Donald the dove, just casually making war on american thought as he invades american cities.
