Shryke Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'm hoping Trump University and the Bondi bribery thing get him after the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Unfortunately it looks like Trump will launch a cable channel and get very wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his inauguration? Is there a way he can issue a presidential pardon for himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I'm not sure there's much room for this is the current media landscape. Like how ridiculous would your business model have to be to out derp Fox at this point? On top of that, I don't think this guy has the business acumen (outside of New York real estate) to pull this off. He seems unable to delegate to actual professionals. He'll fuck it up.

Jaxom 1974 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hasn't Trump essentially negated the need for a strong ground game through the absolute dearth of free media coverage he's enjoyed through his manipulations? His lack of a ground game only will take any effect if the media backlash over the birther hotel commercial fiasco has any lasting effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground game is more about getting people out to vote. Media coverage is one thing but if they can't get all the people out to vote that they expect because of a lack of a ground game, they may have some trouble on election day. We'll see.

DireWolfSpirit Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Amy Goodman has written and gave many great speeches over "The Sword or the Shield" and the over the problem of media monopoly in the U.S. Certainly for me, the distrust became glaring during the period of the Gore/Bush 2000 election through the 9/11 attack and the preceding drumbeat for war on media publicized false intelligence from embedded journalist and network Pentagon parrots. There was no fact checking over the crap being spouted, as false narrative was allowed to lead us into war. An entire infrastructure of police state was allowed to be established that used the telecom industry to spy on U.S. citizens, the NSA accountable to noone, the FISA court a rubberstamping Kangaroo court given the power to make warrants retroactively. George Orwell couldnt have dreamed of a work of fiction as damning as the reality that the PTB inflicted upon the great unwashed as the monopoly MSM media stood by and questioned nothing, challenged nothing, challenged noone and didnt dare let out out as much as a whimper over fear of losing access to their insider mouthpieces in the Pentagon and White House. Investigative journalism has been under attack because it doesnt benefit those that hold power. Our American airwaves all but dead air or fluffy Matt Lauer segments on anything and everything except the unchallenged crimes right under the gagged media's nose, right under the embedded medias nose. And now the U.S. is in the middle of yet another election cycle where the media is acting strange. Fact checking not their job the moderators want you to know. They will be busy framing questions over Ivanka's dress and how amazing and lavish Donalds suite at the Towers is. If the Trump fraud suceeds the American people will get exactly what they deserve for being passively complicit and allowing themselves to be streamrolled by a propaganda press Goebbels could have only dreamed of having.
