Trump puts so much importance and emphasis on TV broadcast ratings. If traditional broadcast media wasn't dead already, this might put it over the edge. Though I don't like the majority of media people actually watch being broadcasted from a corporation like Youtube either.

I don't feel sorry for the US broadcasters who received free airwaves for HD broadcast and instead shipped 4 channels of SD instead during the Digital Television Transition. They need to be reminded. It's as bad as a government where you pay them money that's supposed to be earmarked for retirement only to find the account empty at retirement time.
