Now is the most DANGEROUS Time with our media.

The media is running with the "intervention" narrative.

The only thing better in terms of coverage of a long fall by a famous person is the "redemption" story.

This is dangerous because they could be on the verge of building this asshole back up again.

Politics will take a huge backseat. I just found out they last 17 days. An eternity in politics.

then when if he can manage to act like a simply normal human being in october he looks like he's growing into the role.

ugh.

needless to say, our media is horribly suited to help us pick our presidents.

No intervention is going to give him compassion. I see no redemption in the future - it's not his thing.

7. Like don't interventions work best when the person doesn't know they are about to have one?

Most don't knowingly or willingly walk into an intervention. I watched that show on A&E and like they plan how to block the doors so the person can't leave before hearing what needs to be said.

Maybe someone could tell The Don of Orange he will be on TV with a show all about him if he comes to this hmm meeting. It will be the huuuuuuuuugest Intervention ever! Highest ratings ever to happen on A&E.
