(5,730 posts)Democrats are inured to the idea that Donny Littlehands is a Russian asset actively harming us, Republicans just want to hunker down and hope it all goes away-way, and the media has decided that the story doesn't have "legs" and thus knocked said legs out from under it.

(16,817 posts)Corporate interests decide what we get and they have no interest in full disclosure, unless it improves ratings. That is how 45 was able to get free millions in coverage, and knew how to work it. President of CBS was very candid about Drumpf making their ratings (profits) soar prior to and after the 2016 election. Unconcerned about the accuracy of anything (most total BS), just the ratings (profits).

(7,367 posts)It never mattered much what he said, just being on TV made him seen powerful or important. And he played it like a fiddle. The more outrageous, the more coverage. And it's still working.

THIS is how you fight the Big Evil.
You DO NOT keep bringing feather dusters to gun fights.
You bring Sherman tanks to gun fights. You bring ICBMs to gun fights.
You show NO mercy, you make NO excuses and you take NO prisoners.
And you wait til sometime later on, to apologize, if at all.
