(9,988 posts)I still remember being incensed when all major networks cut away from a Clinton speech because the Trump plane had landed for a rally. The screen showed nothing but the steps of the plane for many minutes, just waiting. He wasnt even at the rally speaking. All he was going to do was come down the steps and get in a car, and the media thought that was more important than Clintons policy speech.
Media treated Trump as a reality TV show and made him a political star. In many ways, theyre still doing it today. They jump to attention and publish his every utterance. It is the media that helps keep him in the limelight and keeps the possibility for him to run again in 2024 alive.
Our notion of good teevee would never match that of the MAGAT notion of good TV. To me, Trump is so repulsive as a human being that I dont even want to see a photo of him, much less an entire television broadcast of him.
