Trump was a powerful attention magnet and the press operation at the White House kept all national attention on him. And he was always ready to provoke without regard for consequences just to keep the spotlight on himself and the heat from outrage at a high level. As Les Moonves said in 2016, Trump may be bad for the country but he's good for business. The national news media had months to prepare for a new administration with a throwback style. If they ignored the coming changes they have nobody but themselves to blame. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
