How and why the conservative media sold its soul to facilitate Trump's nomination

I am quite sure that my anti-Trump stance has stunted the ratings of my nationally syndicated radio show, but weirdly, unlike the guys who are already super-rich, I don’t care very much. Sadly, no one is a position of real power wants to risk losing a quarter, or maybe more, of their audience. The truth and the future of the country just aren’t that important to them (this is why Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze is the exception which proves the rule; because of their unique business model they were free to be anti-Trump).

The most important element where the “conservative” media has dropped the ball in their Trump coverage is allowing him to create the myth that he will be beat Hillary Clinton (easily!). Barring a major catastrophe, there is almost zero chance of that happening. In fact, there is a much stronger likelihood that he gets crushed and costs the GOP the Senate then there is of him winning. There is not one shred of data or logic to suggest otherwise and yet this obvious reality has hardly been discussed at all in the “conservative” media (which, it should be noted, totally botched their predictions for the last election).

Of course, the “conservative” media doesn’t really care if Trump beats Hillary. They “win” either way. They get great ratings through November and “worst case” they end up with Hillary to provide them with easy content for at least the next four years. Pathetically, that’s all they really care about.
