to drum up a news story from nothing. From nonsense. It's like reality TV or pro wrestling. People tune in to see and hear what outrageous thing he is going to do next.

Plus the owners of all the news stations are Trump contributors.

This goes along with our messaging thing. We need to become experts at getting out our message, extra expert at it. Those of us who have been in the minority know what this is like. To get your views out, even when it is hard for them to be listened to.
And when we hold the power, we should do something to license the news.
Without that, it's just LICENTIOIUS.
