when the news departments were separate from the entertainment division and not expected to make a profit. Plus, for most of their careers the CBS, NBC, and ABC were not owned by larger compaines (G.E., Disney, etc) setting the news divisions up for confilicts of interest.

He has no concept of consequences, he doesn't know that a WW3 will devastate the planet, and that he and Ivanka will suffer too.

So how low? It really is not very hard to imagine, the only way he would not start a WW3 is if Putin stops him, because the whores from the republican party will find a way to justify it.

they hate his guts. they laugh at him and are at the same time dismayed.

Great segment - thanks for posting.
