For them. He gave them a war, another war, a depression, and a whole bunch of nonsense statements. He gave them things to talk about.

People watching the media makes their ratings go up. Ratings go up thus advertising rates go up. Advertising rates going up make the people on the top floor very happy.

I hear lots of talk about how the Repubs and the Dems aren't being fair in the primary process.

the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Fracking, NSA spying on us, police abuse, private prisons...

Our Third Estate has been owned by the Plutocrats for a long, long time!

control the media that Republicans win elections. And low information voters (which is everyone who gets their "news" from tv) buy into the propaganda they are force fed 24/7. Republicans always good. Democrats generally bad. They don't seem to mind Hillary, though, because they know she's no threat to their bottom line. But Bernie? Really, really bad and thus pretty much ignored and now, dismissed.

As for Bush, an alien who landed on earth and watched corporate news during his tenure would have thought he walked on water. They protected him no matter what criminal activity he and his henchmen were involved in. The cheerleading for the Iraq War was particularly egregious. Phil Donahue's opposition cost him his job. Dan Rather was toast for his trying to report the truth about his having gone AWOL from the Texas Guard. If we had an honest media (and of course a non corrupt Supreme Court ) with any integrity at all, the dumbass little twit would never have made it to the WH in the first place.
