You all probably don't know the song by Eminem, "Without Me" and pardon me for assuming that if you do, but it's another masterpiece of his that I listen to when I feel like a little beat may be in order. So anyway, it's about how the media uses controversial, and sometimes actually makes controversial people for their own ratings. How much hype was there over the Iowa primary both before and even a few days after? Just something that came to mind when looking over the political cartoons today and saw this one- Balderfart has been on the front page of every news/media outlet every single day for how many years now? He is without a doubt been their bread and butter for near a decade. What would happen if he dropped off the face of their daily planet? Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me Cause we need a little contro-versy But it feels so empty without me.

My biggest worry right now is violence - his followers are steeped in it and are getting better at their threats. Who the hell knows what they'll do if he loses?
And heaven forbid that he keels over from a heart attack at one of his rallies - they'll all say that Biden and the deep state fed him too many hamburgers.

It's pretty much the same as when we say that it's not Jesus, it's his followers. Anyway, my focus here was the media's part in perpetuating this for their own benefit. We always talk about how the democrats don't stand up and yell from the rooftops but the truth of the matter is becoming pretty clear to me, they are, the media can't risk the drop in sales by covering that with the same non-stop infatuation as the real King Of All Media.
Maybe the executives think that covering his every breath might eventually change someone's mind about him. Let's face it most of what he says is pure nonsense, but as Joe the Gerbil said, "the more times a lie is repeated the more likely people will believe it to be the truth?" That's essentially the sum of Adolf Trumph's playbook and maybe the execs don't even realize it. I'm more inclined to believe they do and don't care.

I say the latter - remember, if it bleeds, it leads!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to name any other person to have in the headlines every single day for nearly 10 years. I mean anyone in the world. Ever.
