President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

this is an unwitting indictment of journalism as lazy and stupid. The end game is to declare victory. And what will the media do? They’ll repeat that “Trump Declares Victory” so often that no matter the outcome, Trump will have appeared in the press to have won. Take the 2020 election. Trump lost in a popular landslide. And a decisive electoral college victory. It trump declaring victory is receives the lion share of coverage. That’s a Trump win.
“Cohn had a different recipe for going forward. He liked to beat the system. He’d been indicted three times by the legendary prosecutor Robert M. Morgenthau, and he’d been acquitted three times. Cohn’s recipe was fight, and he taught Trump the tools he used. No. 1 is if you’re charged with anything, counterattack. Rule No. 2 is if you’re charged with anything, try to undermine your adversary. Rule No. 3 is work the press. Rule No. 4 is lie. It doesn’t matter how tall a tale it is, but repeat it again and again. Rule No. 5 is settle the case, claim victory and go home. And that’s exactly what happened in the race discrimination case.”

Never mind!

 

Happy 'Katie Porter slaps Emily Murphy Around Day,' to everyone!

 

Doubtful, given his previous diplomatic responsibilities.

 

Biden won the general vote. Biden will win the electoral vote. By continuing to give attention to Trump's moronic attempts to subvert the facts, the media is unwittingly -- or incidiously -- giving credence to an overwhelming pile of lies and untruths. Put him on ignore, for Cripe's sake.

Why should any of this deserve the slightest bit of coverage? Oh, right. Ratings and 24-hour news content.

 

Because the objective media hates being derisively called the MSM and partisan more than anything.

 

Most of the outlets tried to ignore it for a while, but “Drumpf” is a “bull in a china shop.” It is difficult to ignore - the President of the United States is refusing to accept the results of his defeat, and filing lawsuits all over America. Not only that, but senators and governors are with him.

 

It's "great TV." Trainwrecks always are. Or real-time reality soap operas. But this is exactly why the nation is so divided.

Instead of news, we're getting entertainment. It's the NASCAR-ifcation of politics.

 

If I can vote for Roy Moore in the Republican primary so that Doug Jones would have a chance to win, you can write a letter to the editor. In fact, I bet that you can write a really foamy letter if you put your mind to it.

 

People who talk to him would not be immortalized, as in one of Woodward's books.
