Propaganda is. Also eliminating a source of "legitimate news". If it gets ratings, great but don't think for 1 second their intentions were to make a profit. At least not through media.

They'll make much more money through control of political power, feeding off of the gov't teat, and the elimination of regulations and future taxes that will be needed to right the ship that is America.
