American TV Networks Enjoying a Boom

"War, what is it good for?" you might be tempted to ask like Edwin Starr did on his 1972 record. Well, it’s not "absolutely nothing". U.S. President Donald Trump has said he’s fighting an all-out war against the media. It seems that at least the TV networks are profiting from Trump in office, according to a report by The Economist. All networks seem to be profiting, but Fox News' lead is pretty hefty.
