Why does even the "liberal media" give that asshole so much media coverage? Allegedly, no publicity is bad publicity, but this just excites all those supporting him. And Republicans have lost any credibility about their supposed patriotism. “Liberal media” is a made up idea that is far from true. But most of us have bought into it. Even PBS gives the liars and science deniers too much air time, and more respect than they deserve.

Too true, Kimby.
And Bjd, that asshole got elected in large part because all the media gave him lots of coverage all the time. Okay, some of the "liberal media" used the ha ha he's such a clown tone, but as you said, no publicity is bad publicity.
The Trumpublicans have been so successful with their agenda of ignorance, prejudice, and hate that they no longer bother to even spin it as something more worthy.

I know this won't console you, but it is not just an American problem. The same thing is happening throughout Europe, South America, Africa and Asia. But I won't blame the classic media which most people don't even read anymore. This is because of social media, which condenses ideas into just two sentences and maybe an image, just enough for tiny or exhausted brains.

Well, you are right that it's scary all over. But I think you're not taking into account all those people who could be more discerning, but who allow classic media to form their thinking, as classic or even "liberal" media can have insidious spin in their news stories. Here is a blatant example of a mainstream news outlet giving Trump useful publicity. This is from a newsletter I get from NYTimes called "Breaking News": ___________________________ BREAKING NEWS Donald Trump has been privately backing a 16-week national abortion ban, people with knowledge of his deliberations said.Friday, February 16, 2024 10:52 AM ET In supporting a 16-week ban with exceptions, Mr. Trump appears to be trying to satisfy social conservatives who want to further restrict abortion access and voters who want more modest limits. Read more [<-- this would take you to the article in the Times] _____________________________ See ~ you don't have to read a whole article to understand that Trump is an open-minded, flexible leader who it would be fine for you to vote for.

I see that Trump has launched his own brand of gold, high-top sneakers at $399 a pair. Trying to get money to pay off his fines I guess.

However the more hev gets convicted the more support he gets inside GOP.
Time to send républicains to a thérapy.

In the i newspaper yesterday
"...Donald Trump has doubled down on comparing his criminal indictments to the circumstances of Alexei Navalny. Appearing on Fox News... filmed in Greenville S. Carolina, Mr Trump bemoaned Navalny's death which President Biden and other western leaders have blamed on Vladimir Putin. He then claimed that the prosecutions against him were driven by politics. "It's happening in our country too" he said, suggesting that the USA is "turning into a communist country in many ways" he made no mention of Putin..."
*sigh*

Maybe he is about to come to a mysterious death.

Not hardly. The poor beleaguered victimized man cannot enjoy his martyrdom if he is dead.
