Froomkin: Coverage of Ron DeSantis shows the media has learned nothing from Trump

10. On the contrary, they *have* learned...

They learned from the first time around how to create more Drumpfs. "Hey, he was great for our bottom line, even if he's killing America... Let's create more!" And that's exactly what we're seeing how with the mediots and DeSatan. Since one Drumpf was "so much fun!", let's make more! MTG! DeSatan! Droz! Herschel! OMG, CONSUMERS! You never know what they might say or do next!!! STAY TUNED! 24/7 ROLLER COASTER RIDE, BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR FRIENDS - THE QOP!

Not to mention the goddamned obsession with "STRONG MEN!" - and to them, nothing says "STRONG!" liking watching fascist jackbooted thugs stomping all over vulnerable people. Plus, cable "news" anymore is 24/7 debate... Meaning lots of chances to "embrace debate" and "both sides" when their beloved Nazis see how much further they can push MAGA... "Tonight on CNN: Should trans people be put to death?! Tonight, Karen Miniskirt Republican and Professor John Sweater Democrat debate!!!"

Of course it's journalistic malpractice... Failing to call the guy a Nazi is malpractice. Trying to normalize his hatred and desire for genocide is malpractice. But what else is new? The same way they gave us ALL DRUMPF, ALL THE TIME in 2016 for the sake of ratings and "excitement", they're now going to do the same thing with that Sunshine State Shrimp leading up to 2024 - human rights and decency and democracy be damned.

"DeSatan may be bad for America, but he'll be good for CBS!" - what Les Moonves would say if he still ran CBS.

(It still makes me sick I was once in the same studio as him... UGH.)

So, yeah. They've learned. They've learned to lather, rinse, repeat, and help create DRUMPF 2.0™.
