Maybe major media companies have dipped their toes too deep into the waters of subscription video-on-demand operators like Netflix and Amazon. In an investor meeting, David Zaslav, president/chief executive officer of Discovery Communications, said this practice doesn't make sense. "It's just not rational that all of us in the content business sold our content to a distributor and have allowed that distributor to gain so much share and offer it without our brands ... Ultimately, content is what sells every platform."

It's been no secret Trump believes he hasn't been treated well by the network, going back to misgivings over Megyn Kelly during the first Republican Presidential Debate. And then.. surprise! Trump is now back on the network, most recently on "The O'Reilly Factor." So, what was said on the QT? We might never know.
