75. He Generates Buzz - He Creates Controversy - He Gets People Fired Up......
Fri Jun 13, 2014, 09:24 AM
Jun 2014

and when that happens - he gets people to watch whatever news outlet gives him airtime at the time. It creates viewers and ratings. Ratings = $'s for MSM.

Look at all the attention he gets here at DU.

We all need to start ignoring this guy. THat's the only way he'll fade off into oblivion. By paying so much attention to him - we give him the platform for him to spew his garbage.
