Why do we hear so much shit about trump when we didn't hear it about obama?

Republicans like to argue that the media only pays attention to his screw ups and not the good work he's doing.
Well...Obama was doing good work too (or at least work that some people thought was good and others didn't, same as trump) but he wasn't in the news every other day for saying or doing something stupid and\or immature and\or possibly criminal.

So is it a conspiracy by the fake news media or is trump maybe not exactly presidential material?
Or do you go a step further and say that his lack of basic social skills and ignorance of world events is a refreshing change from more measured heads of state like obama?
Because Trump is basically a bag of dog poo we lit on fire and left on the world's doorstep. That's why we hear so much shit about him. Just a thought...

@lorne13 👍
Dont forget that educated people, like the mainstream media, take more offense to guys parroting Nazi propaganda and methodologies.

It's not just left vs right. The problem is, the Nazi analogy IS used all the time, imprecisely, and no one wanted to think it could happen here.

I'm not really saying it has, but putting him in office was a step in the right direction. Giving him a Reichstag like opportunity has not, and I hope it doesn't.

But..... Wait and see if in 2020 we don't get the war time president thing with North Korea. This could be far worse then Viet Nam, obviously, but it won't develop the same way, and Trump is no LBJ.

The battle will, and I think, should be at the ballot box in 2020. Any other showdown is either impossible practically, or worse than the alternative for the system.


I'm all for investigating and proving Trump is a crook, but he can't be taken down by it. The best shot is voting him out because enough people know it. It's sad, but this mother f er will pardon his cronies, and I don't see pushing for "justice" to be a decent plan.

Of course, the problem is convincing the people who drink his cool aid, and I think that's very hopeless. I'd aim for friends and family who didn't vote, or maybe people who just hated Hillary.

And pray. Or meditate, or whatever it is that might help

This is not accidental, it's central to how he won the election, and how continues to keep his supporters in check. He built a career on this, and surrounded himself with people who keep it going. People like Conway.

Trump used to call the New York media, pretending he's Trump's agent, to tell them about all the good things Trump was doing. It's all part of the con. One of his buddies, and media advisers, is the publisher of the National Enquirer. An hour ago, as I stood in the grocery store checkout line, the National Enquirer as in the side isle, at eye level, proclaiming that Charles admitted to the Queen, why he had to kill Diana. This is the audience Trump caters to.

@SimplyTracie I wonder what Elton thought when he heard about it.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Byron8by7 He probably thinks Trump has no game 😂😂😂 and he ain't the man he think he is at home.

Several reasons.

- The media's first bias is that it is pro-status quo, and Trump is a massive disruption to the status quo.

- Trump is rude, and says things any other President would have a massive scandal for saying. So the media goes nuts over little things he does because it's just so unusual. Obama was super smooth and low-scandal. Very media-friendly.

- Trump just does stuff that's scandal-worthy. He threatens to blow up countries while his chief of staff facepalms, he brags about his dick, he says coded racist stuff, he lies so openly it's breathtaking, he personally attacks the media and tries to limit their access.

The media created Trump because they couldn't stop reporting on every little thing he did, but they're also his worst enemy because he wouldn't get positive coverage if he was saving kittens from a burning building. Obama was status quo, charismatic, good with the media, and a smooth-talker. He got less coverage than Trump did, but the coverage was more neutral or positive unless from a conservative company.

example. there was a huge thread on facebook about a tweet from trump. Hero's was misspelled. they said things like he hasn't make it past elementary school. They were being petty about a typo. That explains a lot of what you hear about trump

I dont like a lot of things he does but I do like a lot of other things he does. same as obama. But I try not to be petty about either one.

@capj61 Exactly
firefall · 61-69, M
@capj61 I cant say there's anything trump has done at all that I like, but I completely agree that mocking him for typos is [i]utterly [/i]stupid and wilfully ignorant - like, who doesn't make typos now and then?

Trump has no real idea of what he is supposed to be doing as leader of the free world. It is difficult to even equate or compare Trump with Obama because of the enormous difference between both men.

News media favors liberal/democratic base more and more with each term.
Oh believe me, there has been. Every president that has been a president since the dawn of the internet age has received a lot of shit.

@Celine honestly, if you didnt, its because you werent listening. The rightwing noise machine threw [b]all [/b]manner of shit against Obama, constantly. It just didnt stick with the mainstream, mostly, because it was so ludicrously deranged and removed from reality. But they were trying it, full time, all the time.
