It’s absolutely maddening. I’m not especially sharp about politics and the media, but in 2015 I was on Twitter and FB saying, “Stop fucking saying his name. This is how he’s going to get elected.” People can’t not talk about him. Even if the story is about what a stupid, evil loser he is, you’re giving him power by talking about him all the time.
He didnt get elected because of coverage. He was elected because the conservatives in America hated Democrats because of misinformation surrounding Obama’s policies which they then transmuted into racism.
That’s fair. I should have said - without the media giving him the spotlight every day, he would never have been taken seriously as a candidate. That’s what I believe.
