Trump Twitter swamping major news sources.

[gulliver]

So here's what qualifies as an "article" on ABC's website.

Is it really an article? It has a byline for someone named "Morgan Winsor," but its entire contents is just a couple of paragraphs wrapping Trump tweets. ABC has simply let themselves become a Twitter gateway. Trump now hands these "news sources" their headline stories via his Twitter account.

1. the media is going to promote this guy. THEY gave him over $2Billion of free airtime.

and the twitter thing will give them a dozen or so headlines a day! win win situation for all.

3. If we really had a liberal media in this country...

Trump would have been laughed out of the campaign for his Twitter account.

5. The ironic thing is that the republicans mention the "liberal media" more than we do!

And our media is not liberal anymore! Fox News is played in more places than CNN! Every single political book on every single bookshelf is written by a conservative author. Milo Yiannopolous got $250K to write a book on free speech. Religious rock music is replacing secular music at restaurants and gyms. Les Moonves of CBS said "Donald Trump isn't good for America, but he's good for ratings.". Conservatives won - they own the media. They control the media. They own the narrative. Until we reverse that, we'll never win an election again.

6. ABC Disney is showing their true

Rethug colors. Noticed during the Campaign,many of ABC's affiliates have gone to a Breaking News format. Which really sucks,but that is another story. The use of breaking news and repeating Trumps and Breitbart Tweets were the flavor of the day,during the Campaign Season. The worst was Hillary's E-mails and the continuous Hillary's unfavorables.

8. Disney, along with Koch Industries, ships their profits to Luxembourg to dodge US taxes.
