Cuban nails it: "Trump Has Set The Media's Agenda By Giving Them "Headline Porn" Instead Of Details"

[Native]

From the September 6 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:

MARK CUBAN: Donald has done a great job of setting the agenda for the media. The guy is a master at headline porn. You just want to deal with the headlines and not look what's underneath it, and there's nobody better at it than him. But that's not the decision-making -- that's not what I look for when it comes to deciding who I want to vote for for president. At some point, somebody has to govern. At some point, he would have to understand policy. At some point, he would have to get into details, and he just has not shown a talent for doing any of those things.

1. Trump knows one thing to be true

Some journalists are very lazy and he can get away
with almost anything if he hands them a headline.
He and his alter ego flaks have been doing it for years.

3. Dyslexics like me and Trump are good at the big picture ideas. Not so much detailed

systems of knowledge.

4. What I find confusing are the explanations from pundits that Americans are cynical.

But when Trump insists he's going to bring all the jobs back, Republicans cheer and say they like Trump because he tells them what they want to hear. Where'd the cynicism go? They don't even care that it's a promise that's impossible to keep. And then of course everybody's covered in a sticky film of propaganda about H. Clinton and even non-Republicans mindlessly repeat that they don't trust her without being to give a single factual example. Everyone says the media are terrible, but why aren't more people cynical about the negative press against Democrats? Why believe it? This is an odd cynicism to me.

5. I wonder if Cuban is getting ready for his own run in 2020?

There's an interview of him saying there is a new class of politician - the billionaire class who can self-finance their own campaigns.

Great.
