Among the many things recently said by GOP presidential nominee, Donald Trump was his attack comment about the media. I paraphrase, 'I'm not running against crooked Hillary, I running against the lying media.' Shortly after stating that several times, I noticed some media folks such as Chuck Todd of NBC acting hurt and taking offense. I thought, stop it! You people deserve each other...the media and Trump.
The most novice observer would easily conclude that Donald Trump has 'played' the media like a fiddle and beat them like a drum. The media is focused on their ability to peddle advertisements through ratings. Since Trump is an over-the-top *blabbering buffoon and amusing clown, he lifts television ratings and sells ads. Therein lies the infatuation between Trump and media. They both should 'own it' and get over themselves. The media has been in bed with Trump for a year. Perhaps while the media was 'waiting' for Trump to self-destruct, they kept his 'alternative-right' followers revved up with constant coverage. I have not witnessed such media frenzy since another 'bad hair' hit the United States back in 1964... It was a singing group from Great Britain.
*(this characterization of Trump is substantiated by the fact that a seventy-year old person running for the United States Presidency would say that he does "not know who David Duke is or what he stands for and has no knowledge of white supremacy groups.")...those are words of a buffoon.
