Never forget that the purpose of Corporate American news media is not to inform, but to make money for their corporate owners and advertisers. If there is no contest, the corporation doesn't make as much money and the advertisers become very sad. So nothing is more important than to create a horse race, even if the person you are propping up has one of the most heinous
anti-worker,
anti-teacher,
anti-environment,
utterly corrupt records in the country. Even if the person is backed by
Polluting Billionaires who've spent their wealth constructing a
vast, deliberately shadowy network around
voter suppression,
bullying tactics, and
pollution-peddling political largesse solely to create a willing puppet to satisfy their
corporate interests.
The fact that the guy may mean horrible news for the vast majority of Americans doesn't even enter their thought process.
They would fawn over anyone, if it meant selling more Cialis.
