"It's deja vu all over again"


Today, in Tulsa Oklahoma, kicks off the first so called “presidential rally” of the year, for second-term wannabe, Donald J. Trump. We already know in advance that there will be a full court press on hand to cover it.

Of course, as was true in 2016, today's broadcast coverage plays right into Trump's political agenda. I.e., he needs his media foils, and all the better if they’re present, right there in the crowd, to unload on... not to mention the additional perk of millions of dollars worth of the free publicity he will get.  Yep, it's a total "win-win" for Trump.

True, like that unruly teenager who steals the car keys when no one is looking, it is important that we adults all stay aware of what Trump is up to. But is the press, by giving him such national attention, only making things worse?  Emboldening his chances of winning re-election?

We know Fox will be there, in all it’s “fair and balanced” glory. But does the "left-leaning” “lame stream media” willingly play right into Trump’s “nasty p-grabbing hands,” by pimping themselves out to Trump with such "news" coverage?

What do you think?  Should or shouldn’t the media cover the Trump’s rallies?  Will you be watching??

Thanks for posting and recommending.
