Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"but he generates clicks, drives engagement, and keeps people tuning in whether they hate him or not, why would we quit that?"
"But what about the shareholders‽"
Blame the right wing outlets. WaPo, The Atlantic, NYT, and others are covering him a lot… by exposing how he will try to end democracy as we know it. That’s not the coverage he wants and it’s the coverage that we need to get out there to the uninformed
Can blame right wing outlets for their role, but in 2016 it was compilations of liberal news anchors reacting to Trump that were always going viral on Trump social media, they covered him as a frontrunner from the very start. Only the left has done a good job to cover Trump as a symptom rather than amplifying his persona and contributing to his brand in some way.
Yeah, I’ll give you that. Maybe they can blow up Nikki Haley in the next couple months lmao
That's some nice phrasing there
This even includes lemmy. Trump generates upvotes. In that sense, I did my part.
Trump is a product of media.
There's no disadvantage to them being constantly against Biden, but if they make an enemy of Trump and he gets elected, he's going to seek revenge. And they're cowards.
Promoting fascism and spreading disinformation is just so damn profitable, (until the lawsuits.)
Their relation is such that both pretend to hate each other while in secret they both know they can’t survive without each other
...Rupert Murdoch really did try to make him a “non person,” as Murdoch’s own emails (also obtained by Dominion) revealed. “Fox News very busy pivoting” away from Trump, Murdoch remarked to a former Fox executive in the immediate aftermath of the January 6 insurrection. At the time, Murdoch and almost everyone else thought that Trump’s political life was over. But Fox—and then host Tucker Carlson in particular—also helped revive Trump by recasting January 6 as a government plot to entrap poor Trump voters. As the base warmed back up to Trump, so did Fox. And Lachlan Murdoch didn’t stand in the way.
These people... They will never learn, because their egos are always one step ahead of their reason.
Are we gonna ignore CNN and MSNBC give him as much coverage as Fox?
Because possible Trump voters often turn to MSNBC 🙄
Dem voters love seeing trump as much as Republicans, otherwise he wouldn't be on there as much
Fine then again!
They support the man.
