Apology not accepted. You fuckwad TV honchos always put profits over country

 
Headline: AlterNet, 10/17/2024

That's why it's called the 'idiot box'.
The former NBC employee in charge of marketing former President Donald Trump's reality TV show, "The Apprentice" (and its spinoff, "Celebrity Apprentice") recently published a mea culpa acknowledging his role in creating the "illusion" of success that led to Trump's political ascendancy. 
According to the Hill, ex-NBC executive John D. Miller is now admitting he played a significant part in convincing the American public that Trump was a respected and skilled business leader. Miller wrote an op-ed in U.S. News & World Report this week saying he "helped create a monster" by aggressively marketing the show — and Trump by proxy — to Americans for 14 seasons.
