it's two fold...It's really hard to not cover a car crash, especially if there are explosions (a Trump special as they call it in the Biz)
but that so many citizens think what he says and does, is OK for a president.... also makes it news
It'd be different if you take someone like Lyndon LaRouche ...he says said (died in 2019) something crazy...and only a fringe amount of people would agree with that. You really don't need to cover it
but when Trump says it, you've got 70 million who agree with that
so it's news and some daylight should be shown on that because it's an insane statement or way to do something
Trump really broke the media, the gov't and the America people...I don't think we can ever put it back together how it was (yes newt, rush and Murdoch laid the groundwork, but he sealed the deal)
Not sure how we remove the culture war as I think that's the problem, it's not policy.
It's us vs them and even if it's good for me...if it's good for them or what they want....I'm against it
The GOP has one policy right now and it's Liberal Tears. How does one compromise on that?
