Hence all the bull#### about Clinton's emails and not a damn word on Trump and his connection to the Russians until after the election, and still not a peep on Trump's taxes. Great job media. Crack job in journalism and digging deep. |
Yes I find myself easily distracted by what's happening in the moment. Your post above is part of my point. The shiny bauble of the trump ##### tape was a distraction long after it had ran its course. Same with Trump racism. Hillary emails. I'm working on not following the headlines and instead reading about what Trump isn't talking about.
So the media needs to focus on a limited number of important things and ignore the rest of the lies. Focus on what is Trump doing that affects real people.
So that right now is ACA, abortion access, and Trump /Russia/conflict of interest /tax returns.
It is not how many people attended his inauguration no matter how false the things he says about it are. The media needs to point out the truth but the truth needs to be relavent to real people's lives. There is too much crap coming out from trump to be kept track of. It needs to be curated and distilled to the life changing #### ups that are occurring.
