If Big Media is losing all this money, why aren't they claiming these losses on their taxes?

Is it because they haven't lost a dime?

What formula do they use to calculate these losses? Are there guidelines posted by the IRS?

I'm sure they do what all huge corporations do.

Make shit up and then say "oops, sorry, here's a tiny fraction of the profits we made keeping that money for so long as a fine teehee".
