Preach Gaga, what a profound and great insight into our current politics. They always condem his words, but when he says 25 terrible things a month, he's going to be in the news. Trump's support is normalizing it, not the media. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have it both way people. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's support is normalizing it, not the media. Their ceaseless, never ending coverage of literally every little thing he says and every rally he does is normalizing it. They could choose not to cover literally every single one of those things but they choose to do so because it brings them ratings and they are more interested in profit and ratings than they are about the good of this country and the ethics of covering a man who is compromising the very values we uphold.

I agree but would like to add that fault is also on the public that gives them the ratings and thus the incentive to report on Trump more. Trump supporters and detractors are culpable for giving ratings and clicks to news that has Trump in it. The media has some responsibility sure, but the viewers that tune in are also responsible for encouraging it by giving it attention. The media should report more fairly and not be rating wh*res but that's only one side of the equation. The public is the other. I like when Gaga tweets things that set off big conversations.
