Has the MSM learned its lesson

Or a couple years from now are they going to forget this moment and start covering Trump’s every move....or worse, I see them writing puff pieces on Ivanka Trump which will help to rehabilitate her image...just in time for her to run

It will be hard for them to let it go. It has made them a LOT of money>

Oh well... time to start shitting on the Democrats again. It is already beginning. Will the Dems be able to do this or that or the other thing? Discover time travel? Start laying gold coins?.....

And that she is organizing a run for governor.

One problem CNN mentioned is that a candidate for governor must have been a resident for at least 7 years.

we all know the trumps don't play by the rules.

...a sentence that long, given the highly likely assumption that she's in on the gift, so there's that.

It's possible she'd win after being paroled since these people voted for DeSantis, but there is some Covid related natural selection going on among the worst nuts down there.

move and word. He will learn to communicate some other way than twitter.

It makes ratings thus money, and they will not let that stop. They have not learned from the person who has labeled them the enemy of the people.

The press and the media need to take responsibility and apologize for the revenue-generating narrative framing in 2016 that enabled Trump to be elected.

The genie isn't going back in the bottle. This is American Politics going forward, it's pro wrestling now.

The media is sad to see Trump go, viewership is already starting to wane because he doesn't have social media now.

MSM is driven by covering the sensationalist. That drives their ratings and profit. Much like click bait headlines on websites. As long as they are driven by profit, it will never change.

The mass media is more like a machine, programmed to do what it's told. The billionaires who own the mass media decide what and how it reports information.
