The way that the media chases behind Donald Trump's every word or deed is just shameful!

Whatever idiotic statement he makes becomes main news stories for several days. The decline of our nation will be because of 24/7 news coverage that ignores things like what is happening in Afghanistan or the poor on the streets of the nation. Interview some of out soldiers and get some heart wrenching stories or plaster members of congress with the faces of the hungry in America. There are so many other events that are more newsworthy than a billionaire running around the country being stupid. The media has given Trump the validation that he does not deserve.

The mass media failures and crimes of distraction and exclusion did not end with the beginning of the Iraq war.

A relentless media hound. He knows what they want, and he gives it to them. They would be foolish to pass it up.
