We should stop posting about Trump and his group of extraordinary morons.
The news cycle thrives on Trump, as every decision he makes manages to anger half the population, while the other half cheers him on simply to annoy liberals and progressives. This dynamic generates more clicks and ad revenue for news outlets, allowing Trump to continue making foolish decisions just to remain in the spotlight.
The only way to change this is to stop giving him space in the news.
Ignoring a problem won't make it go away.
Repeating the problem wont make it go away either.
Yet here we are after Trump's awful first presidency and after he tried to overthrow the government. It’s all because we are giving him more attention than he deserves.
We are past this though. I remember screaming this into the air at the radio listening to Jack Speer on NPR in 2016. He was going on and on about the awful things Trump was saying and how we shouldn't be hearing this. I screamed then why the fuck do you keep repeating it Jack, why?!? I blame the media 100% for his election in 2016, all that free publicity. 2024 though...I really don't have any answers...
This should have happened after the 2020 election, but the news thrives on clicks and outrage, so they keep giving him attention and fucked us all for the sweet sweet revenue.
Actually...
I think that of democracy will ever return to the US, current news outlets in the US should all go on the cutting block
Fuck the 24 hour news cycle where "journalists" all hunt around like creeps to get that latest story because we gotta broadcast something in those 24 hours... Let's broadcast any and all crime, making people feel unsafe. That'll get us more clicks!
News should be paid by an independent, neutral government organization that will finance actual journalism. The results from said journalism will be available on a number of sites, and maybe a Humber of TV channels at limited hours, like ut used to be in the past. News organizations should not and can not be owned by individuals, it WILL be abused. Laws must be enacted to require news to be truthful and anything even remotely pretending to be news should be limited by those laws. Mistakes can be made and when that happens, retractionsust be broadcasted or made available in websites with the same intensity as the mistake that was broadcasted
The US needs news sources that they can trust in because say what you want about magas, they're right in that the main stream media in the US is utter shit and cannot be trusted. It's just that they are wrong about what sources are bad. They're all bad, but their sources, fox news, oan, etc, are the worst by factors...
