Covering Trump to expose his threat to democracy will only work

if media outlets do in fact "cover the crazy" and don't repeat air his photo and bits of his speeches without regard to the content.

Again and again I see them posting photos of the man looking "presidential"--even when covering stories about his indictments or off-kilter statements.

Many people respond more to images than to words. A positive image coupled with negative words for many people will convey as a positive.

You'd think people in the media would realize this, and behave accordingly.
