Showing Original Post only (View all)Cohen gives credit where it's due: "The free press gave America Trump." [View all]
"Donald Trump's presidency is a product of the free press," he writes. "Not free as in freedom of expression, I mean free as unpaid for. Rallies broadcast live, tweets, press conferences, idiotic interviews, 24-7 wall-to-wall coverage, all without spending a penny. The free press gave America Trump."
"Right, left, moderate, tabloid, broadsheet, television, radio, Internet, Facebook -- that is who elected Trump and might well elect him again."

Trump's like COVID. The US free press "immune system" had never encountered something so bad.
