Should the news outlets be reporting on Donald Trump's Tweets as if they are breaking news.
NO!!!
This is not news....Folks, this is why we have a
carnival barker as president.
This was part of the discussion on the
Bill Press Radio Show today. Are the donald's tweets newsworthy and should they be talking about them the whole time.
Peter Ogburn made the notable point that fiance is involved and this may not stop as long as the networks are making money over this kind of information.
Readers, it is often said that
Colonel Tom Parker, the manager of
Elvis Presley, who was indeed a carnival barker had the ability to meet someone, a customer, and immediately know what to say in order to sway their opinion favorable to his goal.
This is who our president is--a huckster, a carnival barker, a media genius. This individual managed to play the media, my beloved
CNN to a degree that he ended up controlling everything.

Let me give an example..........
Always watching the news with the run up to the election and the Belgian Airport crisis happened. Unfortunately for the listeners and those wanting information this happened at exactly the same time donald and
Ted Cruz were in a
Twitter war exchanging insults about the "look" of their wives.
CNN had a panel about the elections, it may have been the night of a primary.......
They must have spent at least 30 seconds talking about the
Belgian catastrophe, but no, they immediately went back to talking about the tweets of the waring candidates and their wives.
It was annoying and unfair to the watcher. This was not news by any means but CNN promoted it big time.
Historian
Douglas Brinkley commented later.........Hillary Clinton and John Kasich were the only two of the giant group running that made statements that were reassuring to the American public and sounded presidential and had a plan about what to do.
CNN and all of the other news groups made an error and the public is paying for it. They fore sake actual pertinent information for ratings.
The networks dished the donald up for us but the consumers will be the ones to pay for it.
Shall we start with health care.....Planned Parenthood.
What is news--let the networks take a look now and reevaluate their coverage.
Good Show Bill Press--well done.
