Facebook recently announced their current biggest political advertiser.

Guess who?

Trump!

Over $200,000 spent in just the last three months!

Somehow seems really bizarre for a president to be spending on self-advertising so early in his term.

CNN and NBC ran 93% negative stories about Trump...not a peep!

Trump spends $200k over a three month period hoping to counter the LSM's slander campaign...now it's a problem.

Harvard study: Media has been largely negative on Trump - Chicago Tribune
It's hard to believe that CNN, NBC, MSNBC viewers don't get that they are just an arm of the Dem party so of course they are going to slander Democrat opponents.

93% negative stories for 99% bad behavior and ill-informed actions. He lucked out.

Truly Trump to throw more money at it rather than cleaning up his act. That aint gonna happen!

In Trumper's minds. Not in reality. I see why you used the "confused" icon.

Bad behavior/actions=bad behavior/actions= bad media coverage, by the legit media. Not a complex concept unless you make it so.You may want them to make a silk purse out of a raggedy, old boar/boor's ear, but it is what it is.

The legit media is, of course, not always 100% accurate. Silly to expect it. Most are in the business of being the firstest with the mostest (which includes the most accuracy). They do protect MOST of us by accessing info we nor you ever could.

Trump is so sociopathic, lying, outrageous, dysfunctional and, yes, clearly traitorous that you only need hear HIS words and watch HIS actions on video. Don't need to hear most of the talking heads because most are giving voice to what sane, ethical people are thinking and saying anyway. If you don't offer the majority relevant information/news, they won't use your outlet. And legit media are generally more careful and cautious about documenting so they're not discredited or sued. Credibility and truth matters. It's their bread and butter after they get your attention. Conservative media are linked to ideology and not truth. Okay to get it way wrong as long as you can bring in the faithful and, sometimes, the curious. Got it wrong, no problem. Just stir the pot, keep the conspiracy going and wait for a bigger deflection/distraction.

Trump on the other hand lies constantly. Truth be damned. He has seen his enemy and it is not the media. It is the truth.

Yeah. A well respected and well liked president who behaves more respectfully and presidentially gets better coverage. Imagine that. Life is so unfair!

That's what John Gotti said when he complained bitterly about Mother Teresa's coverage.
