So long as media companies are getting the revenue, who cares.... when the money stops flowing, so does the show.

It doesn't make any difference what's being said or not, just so long as company executives get the fat cat paycheck.

I'm not a rocket scientist and even I can figure that one out.

And with WFAN's and CNBC's ratings and subsequent loss of advertising fees after Imuswas fired, don't be surprised to see him back behind the microphone in September when he's done with the summer session of his ranch.

Oh I'm quite sure that his "kind" will forever endure..... money is so much more important than "reasonable" and "prudent"....
