The media is fucking doing it again

[maxrandb]

Non-stop coverage of a stupid fucking Donnie Shit for Brains shitshow rally.

"Oh... what will he say this time?"."Who in the crowd will get the rose, or beaten by racist fucksticks"?

Stay tuned as we interview countless inbred, toothless hayseeds who will tell us why Donnie Dipshit is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

"Wow! Look at this exclusive footage of an empty podium"

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

1. It's journalistic rubber-necking.

Trump is like a bad car wreck and the media can’t stop looking.

It is unfortunate, but we have the power not to watch.

[Boomerproud]

8. I will be using that power and have a Trump-free

first day of summer. I can write the headlines from (name the source) by rote. No psychic ability needed.

[sunonmars]

2. These idiots do realise they are signing their own arrest warrants if he is re-elected.

What the actual fuck is wrong with them.

[captain queeg]

3. Agree. There should just be crickets. This is how we ended up with this embarrassment.

[GusBob]

4. Of course we dont watch

But they love him for the ratings dont they

And yeah, we will get all the excerpts from folks who live with a remote control in their hand
Like the fatso president himself who watches 10 hours a day

We live in a TV nation thats why we have a TV president. A “reality television” TV star

Reality TV lol what a fucking con job

[empedocles]

5. Part of traitortrump's important decline in the polls comes from trump's constant

exposing himself in the media.

trumpers may wish trump would just shut up and not appear much in the media at all?

[sop]

15. Trump does himself considerable harm every time he stages one of these insane media stunts.

The media is not covering Trump in 2020 like they did in 2016; they're laughing at him now, not with him.

[brewens]

6. I wonder if measures will be taken to make sure the stage is virus free? They probably

won't have Trump in a bubble, but they might have some way. That would be priceless if it could be shown Trump was kept safe from exposure while his followers weren't.

[LiberalArkie]

20. Fresh air pumped into the podium area at a little higher pressure than every where else.

[brewens]

26. That's what I was thinking. They might not be able to make it 100% virus free like

they do the hospital rooms, but pretty close.

[LiberalArkie]

31. I would bet on that for sure. I recommended to my pharmacy that they make their little closed in

be made positive pressure so peoples germs don't go inside their area.

[empedocles]

32. If the virus hits the rally masses as expected, but not the 'exclusive area' -

make for great dump trump publicity come August the rally spikes hit.

[LiberalArkie]

34. Most performances up on raised platforms under TV lights have to have a separate air cooling

equipment from under the platform anyway. It gets awful hot. You can notice when it isn't enough air when some of the people behind start to pass out. I think it happened once at an Obama gig.

But if 5,000 come down with Covid but not Trump, then to them it will justify their belief in their new god.

[empedocles]

35. result numbers 'twixt the magats and the trumps might still be conspicuous - and

closer to magat masses, homes

[SergeStorms]

38. If that mangy clump of crap on top of his head...

is blowing around furiously we'll know for sure that he's in a "bubble" of rarefied air not available to his cult on the floor. I'm certainly not going to watch in order to find out though.

[LiberalArkie]

39. A gallon bottle of hair spray can fix that

[SergeStorms]

42. It's said that he uses...

a can and a half of Aqua Net Extra Super Hold hair spray after he winds that shit on his head into a hair turban. That amounts to about the same holding power of a gallon of pine sap. My mother used to use that stuff because it was cheap and her hair never moved. For some reason Trump's is still able to blow around in a stiff wind though.

[LiberalArkie]

40. But the cooling system its common with concerts and many other situations where the people on

the stage will get hot, except the vents blowing on him will be fresh filtered air. I would almost imagine that the podium has it built in for security reasons.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. Don't worry. They'll learn their lesson as soon as they find out they're

on their way to the "re-education camps" .

[NCDem47]

9. 24-hour cable news channels have a LOT of hours to fill.

So lazy of them to just turn on the cameras and let Trump's rallies run unfiltered. Then package the scandalous sound bites and show those over and over until the next rally.

[LiberalArkie]

21. They don't even have to do that. Just pick up the feed from Trumpco.

[USALiberal]

10. You do realize that his rally is ""News" correct? nt

[mucifer]

11. Hoping the Berman refusing to leave story eats up some of that time

[3catwoman3]

12. "Inbred, toothless hayseeds."

That is an excellent turn of phrase -

[William Seger]

13. But there's a very different back story this time

... the story about how this obnoxiously self-obsessed sociopath doesn't care if his cult members die as long as they feed Trump's pathological need for adulation one more time before they die.

[fleur-de-lisa]

14. Don't watch any news today.

If we don’t watch that shit, they will have to change. They only care about ratings.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. The media was happy to elect a clown because they make money from circuses. . . . . nt

[Hip2bSquare]

17. If it bleeds it leads

Always been rule number one. Whatever gets the attention in the land of 24 hour news. Chump is hoping for a lot of chaos. It would help fuel his magaT brigade.

I so wish it was so quiet outside the event you could hear crickets. No counter protestors, no cars.. nothing. Just the chump inside woes me-ing the entire time.

[LuckyLib]

37. This is my wish as well. MAGATs in an echo chamber,

nobody on the streets, the Dumpster ranting away.

[MrModerate]

18. Whether the media is "doing it again" or not...

This rally is going to be the ultimate trainwreck, and deserves saturation coverage.

And do you think that interviews with the moron-American, soon-to-be-covid-stats deplorables yawping around the arena improve Trump's electoral chances?

[sunonmars]

19. Trump is a product of this internet media age, had we not had that, Trump would never have got

anywhere. I hate the 24 hr newscycle.

[mountain grammy]

22. Well it's Tulsa

The rabid trumper mob just might go out and burn down half the city. They can blame Antifa.

[left-of-center2012]

23. Saw one woman ...

I saw one woman briefly interviewed yesterday on either CNN or MSNBC who said she’d left her husband home with the kids and driven from N.J. to Tulsa because she simply adores Trump.

(Simple is as simple does)

[edhopper]

24. It's not like anything else is happening

like the destruction of our Justice System.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. They are just filming the audience to give something to remember to the crowd's next of kin. 😂

[Roy Rolling]

27. Stop Blaming the Media

Media is plural for the word medium. It’s everything broadcast and disseminated now and forever.

Blaming the Media is a Right Wing Rant and not appropriate here. They don’t mean/blame “the media”, they mean blame non-propaganda sources in their way of broadcasting truth.

Repeating that rant is giving Trump what he wants—Trump wants you to be bothered.

Be smarter than that, don’t use broad, propaganda terms like “the media” does this or that. When we do, blaming the media is the exact Trump goal.

Don’t do it again. Either call show sponsors for paying for what you don’t like or TURN IT OFF. Don’t attack the most advanced communication in history because you don’t like what some say.

[jayschool2013]

28. Thank you

Thank you. Lots of English and German football on the telly today.

[sarcasmo]

29. Turn it off

[librechik]

30. I used to be happy when they started 24-hr news channels.What an opportunity!

So much to cover, so many eager reporters!

Instead they do 2 hrs editorial and repeat it over and over with long, repetitive stand ups. And of course many commercials.

What a disappointment!

[WinstonSmith4740]

33. Read an interesting book a few years back.

"On Bended Knee" by Mark Hertsgaard. Written in 1988, it goes into the relationship between the press and Reagan, which is when all this started. He also attacked the press as being "liberal, liberal, liberal", and they then, like today, got so scared of being called names they immediately became his lapdog. The press only seems to develop a spine when Democrats are in charge. Democrats don't spend their time attacking the press, so I think they get "brave".

I just took it off my bookshelf to check the publication date, and it appears I had passed it along to my dad when I finished it. I had written "Dad, let's hope these men are the last of their kind". Looks like they'll always be with us in some form.

[Mike 03]

43. "On Bended Knee"

That was a fascinating book. Your post makes me wish I still had my copy. It didn't survive one of my moves and ended up in a library. But I still have a signed copy of Sam Donaldson's book from that era. He was most critical of journalists who showed a lack of courage to politicians.

[WinstonSmith4740]

45. It's been a while since I read it.

Worth another run through, I think.

[majam]

36. This is nothing new

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. Agreed. I refuse to watch the news today, and quite possibly, tomorrow. n/t

[Blue Owl]

44. Turn it off and let coronavirus do its thing

n/t

[unitedwethrive]

46. Maybe it's time for us to work on making alternative news. That's what they do.

We're smart people, surely we can thing of something to distract.
