During his rally in Dallas, Texas, Republican pretender candidate Donald Trump admitted that his speeches are about
nothing.
Trump said, “On Fox and CNN they call it all Trump
all the time. And by the way, their ratings are through the roof. If
they weren’t, they wouldn’t cover me, I’ll be honest. It’s a very simple
formula in entertainment, in television. If you get good ratings. If
you get good ratings, and these aren’t good, they are monstrous then you
are going to be on all of the time, even if you have nothing to say.”
Trump is saying nothing in his speeches, except the
word great and a promise that America will also be great if he is 'elected' pretender. Trump is gaming the media. He gets in front of
the microphone and babbles on about nothing. For example, Trump
announced his plan to repeal and replace Obamacare with “something
great.” In case we missed all of the details that Trump was dropping, he
repeated that he was going to replace access to affordable healthcare
with something great.
The media knows that they are being
conned, but they continue to cover Trump’s every move because
they are have convinced themselves that Trump equals ratings.
The media created Trump’s surge in the polls
by giving him daily free media coverage. If the media stopped covering
Trump tomorrow, he would plummet in the polls. While Trump’s endless
media coverage about nothing is annoying, he is doing Democrats a huge
favor by taking away potential media coverage from more serious
candidates.
Each cable news network knows that Trump’s
speeches are not newsworthy, but they continue to give every one of them
live coverage. Trump has no policy solutions. Trump is offering no
answers. His campaign is based on the idea that America is bad right
now, but he can make it great.
Trump admits that he is saying nothing, but the
networks are still flocking to cover him. Because in America’s
controlled corporate media, ratings are more important than informing
the public.
