He is simply worried about his company's bottom line. Advertisement dollars during election season are vital for TW and most of its subsidiaries. The Dems idea of campaign finance reform will drastically limit the money flowing into ads. Thus, Time Warner will suffer.

Quite the conundrum for Libs. They have the press and traditional media on their side. Which means a ton of favorable publicity and an ally to help steer the narrative. That's already a huge advantage that can be amplified if they can limit the opposition's voice. Unfortunately, most of their media allies are suffering and desperately need those free speech dollars their Dem friends want to limit.

If you've seen the post election ratings and factor in that the trump administration is going to freeze CNN out (and after the Donna Brazile revelations, he can do it without much of a fuss)

Then the trouble is really bad. If I'm Jeff Zucker, I'm looking over my shoulder

If you're Jeff Zucker, you're too busy weeping in the corner while your wife gets plowed to be worried about your job.
