Murdock backed Trump the instant he showed a chance of winning. This idea that Trump had no media support is Fake News.
Trump has been exploited by the real deep state to distract the people's attention away from them, from day one. And now that he's imploding, they're getting ready to move on.
Indeed. And Elizabeth Warren is running on just this agenda - removing the corruption in campaign funding and media bias.
Did you know? Fox News was only able to be created when a law was changed that required broadcast news to present two sides to a story. It was started by Murdoch as a Republican mouthpiece.
It could easily become a Democrat mouthpiece if Murdoch favoured a Democrat candidate, like Hillary, for example.
Problem is, its audience would tune out if this ever happened, and Fox would lose that audience to the internet - possibly for good. Murdoch has always been more financially than ideologically motivated, hence his support of Trump when the Fox audience polled their support.
Murdoch
never supported a clown like Trump. He came around after seeing how obsequious Trump is. Yes, Donald Trump sucks up to Murdoch. Which politician doesn't?
This is the game Warren wants to end - the "conservative" think tanks drafting legislation, the lobbyists within government, the huge political donations and skewed media outlets like Fox, who act as the megaphone of this process.
It's all based on big money and influence, it has nothing to do with democracy at all. It's why Trump stacked his cabinet with industry lobbyists and ideologues.
Trump promised he would be different, but as Warren calls it, he's the very embodiment of corporate self-interest. As a billionaire not collecting a salary, Trump pretended he'd be above the game, but he's been unashamedly profiting from his administration. Imagine receiving a directive like the top military brass get - stay at the local Trump hotel. Imagine what you'd think after years of slashed budgets and cost-cutting at the lower end. And Trump justifies it by saying being president is costing him billions in lost income - what's wrong with getting a few million back?
Warren is getting this message out - the message that Trump voters lapped up when Trump promised to drain the swamp. Wealth inequality, tax cuts for the mega-rich, corporate lobbyists running Washington. Corporate donors running the country. Trump has only strengthened it. Warren promises to do something about it.
Can this narrative win over any Trump voters who want to see
real change, or have they become even more disheartened by lying politicians?
This may well be the idea that gets people voting in 2020.
nope, sorry. you are wrong.
the dems greatly outspent trump at the last election and most of the media run non stop "trump is bad" stories.
trumps campaign strategy is NOT based on a big media spend.
it is based on making the public cynical about the media.
