Trump does exactly the same. What's the difference.
- nerbert 8y agoTrump doesn't control the media.
- gaius 8y agoI guarantee that Trump has zero influence on how the NYT reports on the economy.
- phyller 8y agoThat's not true, if a piece of economic information would be damaging to Trump it would likely get even more coverage.
- frockington 8y agoHe's also gamed them a few times to accidentally cover good data. Most notably when he "leaked" the low jobs numbers and CNN/NYT covered it non stop
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoIsn’t that the opposite of influence though?
- justtopost 8y agoNot if you know how to spin it. Like him or not, Trump is unquestionably good at getting 'bad' press to work in his favor. Any power, positive or negative, can be harnessed if you are clever enough. To what end, well, thats a different discussion.
- tdb7893 8y agoIn certain media but in other media the opposite it true. The top cable news network for the last decade has been conservative (Fox obviously) and conservative media absolutely dominates talk radio and it also has a robust Internet presence.
- sbmthakur 8y agoThat's nonsense. The economic parameters on which the US is not doing well are always reported in the media.
