Private Media's duty is to the shareholders.

And if you look at who the big shareholders are voting for (and donating to and campaigning for) it's the Trump GOP.

Sinclair Media, iHeartCommunications, News Corp, Amazon Media Group, Twitter...

These guys are lockstep with the conservative movement.

These groups also donate heavily to the DNC.

Play both sides, so you always come out on top.

But the folks they support are inevitably the most conservative Democrats in the bluest states. Obstructionists like Lieberman, Machin and Sinema, who exist entirely too say "No" from the inside of the party.
