Just Heard A Discussion About Trump's Tweets By The Media.....

[global1]

and instead of saying they are the words of a deranged insane person - they are making Trump out to be a great tactician and saying that he uses these tweets to keep us in the dark about what he is doing or going to do and that he uses the tweets as a form of deflection from other important issues that he doesn't want us to know or spend time on pondering.

They are making him out to be brilliant and keep padding his ego because he was a reality show person and is going to run his presidency like a reality show.

How screwed up is this? Why is the MSM kissing this guy's butt? Why aren't they discrediting him?

I just don't get it. And everyday I become more depressed about our future in this country.

1. Um...

"he uses the tweets as a form of deflection from other important issues that he doesn't want us to know or spend time on pondering. "

That's not praise... That's a bad thing for orange hitler and something the media should be pointing out.

5. That's My Point - The MSM Is Pointing That Out But They Are Saying That He's A Genius.....

for using that as a technique instead of saying it's a bad thing for him to do. They're giving him credit for deceiving us.

Trump continues to use the media to buck him up. It's incredible. Instead of doing their job and pointing out his lies and deception - they are making him up to be a brilliant tactician.

4. Corporate Media

doesn't care about facts. They care about ratings and money. The orange trainwreck is great for both, so they don't care that he's not great for the country. Corporate media thrives on conflict and controversy. Truth is currently on life support.

9. Alec Baldwin had better have a wardrobe of bullet-proof attire

He does Trump SO well, and Trump is SO thin-skinned. Whereas Baldwin will have steady work for the next four years, his life will be in peril the whole time!

10. I think he's just an impulsive idiot

And Twitter gives him the forum to spew his mind.

He's not playing multidimensional chess; he's just playing checkers except he's not actually playing checkers. He's just chucking the pieces at everyone and laughing.

11. Suggested MSM sycophantic moment

"Now, we know Josef Goebbels invented the Big Lie, but he could not have envisioned how beautifully Trumpf would use TWITTER to take the art form to Olympian levels."

12. For starters, other than the occasional frivolous tweet, a POTUS regularly tweeting is embarrassing,

immature and shows a total lack of understanding the importance of the office. Why the media is depicting this man as "normal" is beyond me. All I can figure is they want access and if they tell the truth - he's batshit crazy - they won't get it. We are so screwed.

13. trump is a media creation

14. He certainly has MSM off balance. n/t

15. media

That's the crux of the matter. The media has never been about anything other than selling things to the public. Where we are screwed at is that the reporter and journalist no longer exists in a form free of the influence of media. The average "reporter" doesn't give a whit about journalistic integrity because it doesn't sell and it won't further their career in "media".

There was a time Trump would have been roasted to the point of being ashen for his actions by the nations print journalists. For a short while the news on television was an arm of print news and as such aimed for the same sort of journalistic integrity. This was all well and good until they found out the "news" could be monetized and that American's had become fundamentally disinterested in anything other than being entertained.

I don't know when or why the shift happened, I'm no historian , but it tied in nicely with a renewed wave of anti-intellectualism that has been sloshing around in the undercurrent of this country for a long, long, LONG time. For lack of a better word, the American populace is collectively dumber than a box of rocks, apathetic, uniformly uninformed and readily manipulated by those that know how to key in on all of it for profit and gain.

In short, Trump gets love from the right, hate from the left and ratings dollars for the media. It's too bad we'll all be burnt to a crisp by the time they figure out it's a disservice to the world to run things the way they are.
