We know what Tr**p looks like. So when you do a story on him you don't have to keep putting up pictures and poses of him every few seconds throughout your reporting.
I noticed this happening on both networks. Whenever they talk about Tr**p they put up pictures of him behind the reporter or talking head.
We don't need to be reminded of this guy's face. I know that I'm sure he loves that he's plastered all over the TV - but us people out here that have been tortured by him for the last 5 or 6 years don't need to keep on being reminded as to what he looks like.
One network even had a picture of him speaking at one of his rally's - where there was a sign in the middle of the shot that read - Tr**p Won.
No he didn't. But showing a pic like that just keeps reminding people of his big lie - and in some ways reinforces the big lie. PLEASE STOP IT!!!!

(22,898 posts)I'm glad the media are keeping tabs on him. He's a sneaky, ruthless SOB who needs watching.
But I could definitely do without any and all photos of that piece of garbage.

(7,417 posts)Seems the cable news stations are not so subtlety bringing up trump a lot these days.
Photos and quotes.
I agree with Eric Boehlert that they would love nothing more than have him back on the scene. The news stories wrote themselves, when he was (Minority) president - so exciting, every time you turned around something was happening. Oh to have him back at the WH again...

(8,791 posts)I quit. I anxiously watched every day hoping this is the event that will sink him. Never gonna happen. So I started watching the endless videos on Ridiculousness on MTV. It is so great to watch all the stupid people of the world, probably all trumpers, smashing themselves into pulp. The laughing is so healing. But, it really shows how many people are stupid enough to vote GQP.

(32,626 posts)just the right photo to reflect what they want their audience to perceive, good or bad. They are so good at turning perception into reality, but they've had so much practice.

(1,402 posts)I agree 150%...........I will be happy if I never have to look at DJT's ugly mug again. I am so sick and tired of seeing any pictures of DJT. Why don't the media just let him fade away. If there was justice for all, DJT would be dead by now. Look at how many deaths he personally caused by claiming Covid was fake and to use ivermectin, etc, extreme remedies, etc. I hope and pray someone will someday just count as near as they can how many lives were cut short because of DJT's lies. If there is a justice..............why didn't DJT get covid and lose his life?

(25,263 posts)Just don't keep plastering pictures and poses of him every few seconds while talking about him. We all know what he looks like.
In my opinion - showing him in pics just continues to give him credibility where we don't need that. We need accountability.

(42,862 posts)When people cut-back to just an hour or two per day, then the sight of Trump is less likely to induce anxiety or feelings of agitation.

So yes, they really do need to stop that.

Like FB...they want to piss you off...taunt you....create vile emotions so you keep coming back for another dose.
The hosts are just the "advertisers".....the message is the same. I'm disgusted with ALL of them.

(65 posts)standing in front of AF1 or behind a podium with the seal of the POTUS on it just to name a couple of others. None of this furthers the story of the corruption that he injected into our country.

(205,839 posts)Though I have to give Stephen Colbert credit, he will no longer say TFG's name. If he's forced to refer to him, he asked viewers to send in appropriate nicknames and he's been using them. Today's was "The Big Liebowski."

Again - we know what TFG looks like. Why do they have to keep showing his image every time they mention his name.
Really - the media is brainwashing us with TFG and they are setting him up for another bid at the presidency in 2024.
This has got to stop!!!
