Now those viewers are gone. When viewers leave, so do advertisers. A race war would provide just the kind of senseless, yet graphic violence that television excels at reporting. New opportunities would open up within the reporting ranks. Vast sums of money are now plundered from taxpayers and fed to bureaucrats heading discredited social programs, who serve in an army of loyal, big-government voters.
Consumers foot the bill.
These ill-gotten gains are then shoveled into the media coffers leading up to election time. The profits enrich executive bonuses and media personalities' pockets. This is true for dirty cops, and it's true for dirty politicians. The realization that there is no safe haven, no reserved parking space at a comfortable lobbying or law firm while the electorate rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic, may be the justification our ruling elite need to foment a race war in America. For too many powerful people, the loss of that power is a prospect beyond their comprehension.
