It’s amazing how much coverage this guy gets on both sides of the aisle. Fire up your OTA and tune into your local news segment. Usually at least one story about this guy every day. If he’s not mentioned locally, then he probably has story nationally. Shit man, even the night show hosts constantly talk about him.
Doesn’t change with internet coverage. Always at least a dozen articles about this guy regarding outlandish posts on his blogging platform, various trials, shit said in trials.
We know he’s a piece of shit. Media outlet knows he’s a piece of shit. Yet they continue to push anything about trump because it gets the ratings/engagement.
Sad state of journalism rn.
There's no real right answer to the situation. Deplatforming is an incredibly effective tool to reduce his reach, but deplatforming also only does so much when he can just create his own platform (like truth social, doing rallies) or other platforms just promote him harder in response to deplatforming (see OANN, FOX Newsmax).
On the other side, it's also important to shine a light on what he's doing, so he can't just go back to doing exactly what he's been doing without any public acknowledgement or challenge.
The problem is that its less Abu Ing a light and reporting, more click and as generation. If trump was honestly reported without emotion and click bait and outrage, he'd be a joke. Instead the country is.
Again until you run into the absolute informational silos that are FOX, OANN, Newsmax, Breitbart, Daily Wire, etc.
The people that watch those sources are almost exclusively getting all their information from those sources. To Murdoch its not just about the money and the ad revenue, its the control over public perception and opinion. So unemotive boring reporting just gets left behind as the more bombastic sensationalized reporting gets more popular.
Unfortunately journalistic integrity doesn't sway public opinion.
