As regards John Doyle's article, "TV AND THE TRUMP CHALLENGE." 

I wanted to single out part of a sentence Doyle wrote: "Network TV programs, aired within weeks or days of being written..."   Apparently that might be true for South Park, but generally a TV series takes weeks or months to write, followed by six to twelve weeks of pre-production, and then four to ten days of shooting, and then, at the least, a couple of weeks per episode for post-production.   

Doyle either made one whopper of a typo, or doesn't really have a grasp on how television shows are produced.  Either that, or I've been doing it wrong for forty years now.
