There is no politician in the world who hasn't gotten the message that aggressively challenging President Trump guarantees praise from the American media, no matter what the issue is.
There is no excuse for creating hysteria to sell a media product.
The media CAN'T PRETEND that it has always respected its role of fighting corruption or bad government. Before President Obama started to promote crime in 2010, the media was attacking him, also.
Many of the crises that the world is dealing with today are the result of the conglomerate's destructive waste of time and resources since 2010. Nobody can do two things at one time; if you're spending your time, money and energy promoting crime, and you're the most powerful people in the world, the world is going to fall apart.
Every year that the media emphasizes sales over sober reporting, the world continues to disintegrate.
Does the media ever think about how the United States is perceived by the rest of the world? Does it ever occur to the media that the image of invariable turmoil, anger, fear and instability is dangerous to the country's national security and detrimental to our ability to be internationally consequential?
Democracy protects the rights of free speech and a free press; the American media's abuse of that right is causing murderous dictators to obtain and maintain control of other parts of the world. They know we're a joke. We are the epitome of a country that can't get its act together, that isn't paying attention, and that will eventually collapse.
