Tiberius Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Poor Steve Bannon! No free speech for him. Fired, disgraced and thrown on the trash heap for going against Dear Leader. Is that how the media is suppose to work Conservatives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDR revolutionized how presidents used radio to spread their message directly, Kennedy used TV to do the same. Both mediums changed how politicians utilized them. What 45 has done with twitter is the same. That's not a defense of his tweets, just an honest assessment of a historic change in the use of a new communication tool by POTUS. The left (and right) and media continually misunderstand how he utilizes twitter to communicate directly with his base. And it's been HIGHLY effective. The coverage of his tweets only make it more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 The media is so moronic. They magnify his Tweets and amplify his message. The media is so moronic. They magnify his Tweets and amplify his message. People say Trump should stop tweeting. Well, the Media should stop covering his Tweets. I've never seen nor heard one read except for the coverage in the Media. I don't follow the man on Twitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to imagine the electorate is competent enough to absorb a given administration's PR without a 140 character speed limit. Radio and television aren't perfect mediums but I'd argue they're at least subject to less misinterpretation and allow for a much broader discussion of policy topics than a tweet, which is IMO less informative than it is something more along the lines of simple propaganda. Which is why I avoid Twitter as a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I avoid Twitter as a rule. I hear you, I'm not saying it's progress, just an evolution of political communication. And it's hard to argue that Trump hasn't been very effective using Twitter to bypass the normal media barricades that prevent presidents from directly speaking to certain pockets of the population. Case in point... this tweet from this morning: While the media is bashing this tweet (and others from today) and mocking it, here is how his base interprets what was said: TRANSLATION: "A fictional dossier, secretly funded by Clinton, the DNC & Obama, was created using FBI and paid Russian SVR agents to spy on my campaign and influence the election. All of this is recorded in Clinton's emails and the DNC servers, which we have in our possession." I'm not making up that translation - it's been on multiple social media feeds today. And you know what? There's actual evidence for the claims made in the translation. Real honest to god evidence that the public knows about. This evidence doesn't get discussed by the MSM when they're bashing the tweet, instead they ignore it. Which then only reinforces (to his base who are watching) the idea that the MSM is complicit in the very same DNC/44/HRC plot to undermine a sitting POTUS. That gets more and more of his base angry. Which in turn gets more and more of his base to distrust the media and rely instead directly on tweets from 45 to get their information. Trump's a lot of things, without question. But he ain't dumb, especially when it comes to social media use. And he keeps on proving that with each tweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The “stable genius” stomps all over the Trump-is-stupid-and-crazy narrative by running a meeting in front of the cameras. “Look at him, with members of Congress arrayed around him at that table. The news media had to keep the cameras running live. After spending the last week promoting the theory that he’s stupid and crazy, the media look stupid and crazy, as he’s clearly in command, speaking coherently, behaving competently, and getting full respect from the members of Congress. This really was a perfect response the barrage of criticism that bounced off Michael Wolff’s convenient-but-fake book.” It’s like the whole thing was a setup that conveniently got rid of Bannon and enriched a guy (Wolff) that Trump is friendly with. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/285666/ .
