Why does the news media keep focusing on Truth Social?

[lees1975]

So what? Let it die.

Let's focus on the excellent economic news, the political gains made by the Democrats, and the fact that there are a whole lot of Americans who don't give a flip about an orange headed buffoon in an aging, seaside resort on the Florida coast who's going to prison for multiple crimes he committed.

Sheesh. Enough already. Who cares? It's pig slop for idiots. Nothing he does matters.

[Skittles]

1. agreed

and I am fucking SICK of hearing what the un-American Trump-humpers think - ENOUGH ALREADY

[Timewas]

2. Yes But

Know thine enemy....Or, keep your friends close and your enemies closer

14. We already know him. And them. Way too well.

Let that site be where law enforcement goes to watch them implicate themselves in crimes.

For the rest of us, we should ignore it and let anything he says waft away in the wind.

His appeal to the morons is how much he riles everyone up. Don't enable that.

3. It's obvious the media doesn't like the Democratic party.

[joshdawg]

13. But, but, but it's a "liberal" media.

4. Not only does everything TFG touch die, but it dies by having all the air sucked out of its lungs.

Late this week, listening to the evening MSNBC shows, it was 100% TFG. I found myself wondering what else was happening out there in this big wide world.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. It's been that way since 2015.

Apparently nothing else is happening in the rest of the world, I remember when we used to see international news.

5. Because the easy "news" of Trump on Twitter.

They became lazy and would sit on Twitter and scoop up the latest s---show. It was exciting. They could be outraged or excited and start a trend. Wow - am I a good "journalist!"/not.

[live love laugh]

6. Free advertising.

[rubbersole]

7. tfg is clickbait.

Ratings = money. It's always about the money.

[RockRaven]

9. This is the answer. nt

8. Social Truth Donald (STD)

[ffr]

11. +1000 "TFG Says, GOP Says, Rand Paul Calls for, etc... moving on -- ignore.

Fuck DU posts with any of those ridiculous headlines. Why do people feel it's necessary to bring attentions and give attention to that bullshit?

You are 100% correct. I want to read stories about Biden/Harris/ Pelosi/Schumer legislative and economic successes.

[AZLD4Candidate]

12. trainwrecks are great clickbait and ratings material. who doesn't love a trainwreck?

[doc03]

15. Why do TFG posts outnumber posts about accomplishments of Democrats on DU by 10 to 1?

[tanyev]

16. Same reason they keep talking to ordinary people who loooooove Donald Trump,

but never, ever try to find an ordinary person who is thankful and relieved that Biden is president.

[NCDem47]

18. "Balanced News"

Crazy Trumper says something. Sane, sensible Democratic voter says ssomething. In the MSM's mind, they've done their job presenting both sides. Never mind its TOTALLY lopsided with looneyville vomiting lies. Infuriating!

[chuluma]

17. The Mafia didn't die when there was no focus on them

J. Edgar Hoover and the government played dumb about its existence. And yet the Mafia kept killing and killing and growing.

Bad people don't stop being bad because there's no focus on them.

[brooklynite]

19. (again) Because its the platform of the leader of one of the nation's two major political Parties...

...and the likely Presidential nominee of one of those Parties...

...and its the platform he uses to respond to "issues of the day".

Ignore your enemy at your peril.

20. One of the best weeks for the Democrats in months, gets covered up by this crap.

Mara-a-Lago was searched. They found classified documents that shouldn't have been there. Why was he not arrested and jailed immediately? Oh, some Republicans who have their noses so far up his rear they can see out of his belly button are whining.

End of story.

In other news, the Democrats have brought unemployment to a 50 year low, there's no recession, inflation has come to an abrupt halt, gas prices are falling and will likely go below where they were at the outset of COVID, and GOP hopes for a red wave in 2022 have been dashed by polling data showing a big shift over the Dobbs decision.

The only additional news item I want to hear with Trump in it is that he's been arrested and indicted for the insurrection, is held at Guantanamo without bail and is almost certain to be convicted.
