If people will watch nonstop Trump stuff, that's what will be shown and discussed.

I'd love to go through an entire day without hearing about the man. Sometimes I actually manage.

Then I check social media . . .

I have Trump on a filter here, and it's still somehow half of GD much of the time.

Why scold others for what we ourselves cannot manage?

inflation. Honestly, I was hoping for this. He's NOT on the ballot!

Trump's legacy is dyed in the wool. He's despised by even a lot of Repubs.

Don't get me wrong, I hate seeing so much of him. But a LOT of it is BAD news about Trump. Just like in 2018 and 2020, we win if it's a referendum on Trump.

Just a thought...

And the New York tabloids long before that.

Of course he self-promoted by calling in to radio and the print media with lies about his net worth etc. in order to get the media interested in him, and after that the media took it and ran with it.

His good buddy, Peckerwood (or whatever his name is) at the National Enquirer helped out a lot too.

I call it the Jerry Springer effect...talk shows evolved from thought provoking to actual onstage fights, often involving partially naked "guests".

Journalism has been struggling for several decades now, newspapers continue to fail, magazines too. Trump's garbage has and continues to provide needed revenue for the print media.

And I imagine after he does, we're going to get to see his face "every two minutes" until his base dies off too.

I realize this might be difficult for things like the videos.

I would suggest and equivalent "goatse" for his face but that may not be considered in good taste. (Please don't look this up!)

They are giving free press to Hitler Jr. who, if ever given power again will just turn on them - unless they kiss his ring and worship him the way he likes. I hear CNN is going to join Fux Nooze in that genre.

it appears that an insane baboon has escaped from the local zoo and is mooning people.
I can see where the media might feel compelled that cover that, as a human interest story, if nothing else.
