"When we were aggressively covering Trump, we did well,” they told the publication. “When we are flaccid covering him, the ratings tank.”

In other words, when we were doing actual journalism and warning about the dangers that he posed, people paid attention, but when the corporate heads all decided to treat him with kid gloves, people recognized the BS.

I wonder if the journalist in question is still employed by them?
