All corruption, all the time in Trump world, Exhibit 64,704:

And as usual, Big Journalism tiptoes around it, using the standard "concerns" and "raises questions" hedges to avoid stating the blatantly obvious reality. Pathetic, but that's the norm.
@dangillmor I guess this means CBS/Paramount isn’t getting WB.(sad trombone)
@dangillmor I don't know if they're just too lazy to PROVE there are conflicts of interest, or just too cowardly to SAY it directly.
Another thing that is getting on my nerves is the way journalist questions almost legitimize Trump's actions. They'll ask things like, What action will you take against Greenland if it doesn't capitulate? Things like that. With a president like Trump, questions like this are as good as encouragement, and are also morally and intellectually vacuous.
CNN: mealy-mouthed weasel words!

Not just "pathetic"...
A willful failure to timely and truthfully inform.
A willful failure of their duty.
By not calling a thing by it's correct name, that media's consumers are left with a sense that thing is less substantive than it actually is.
Such media is part and parcel to how we got where we are.
Cowards all.

"Potential" conflicts of interest? Guffaw.
