Or the converse. If the MSM says it, it must be true.
If Trump says it, it’s an objective truth. Case closed.
Pretty ironic, considering that "The Donald" Trump is a celebrity solely because he crafted it through MSM venues. The reason people think he's a brilliant businessman is because he's marketed himself that way through the MSM.
If he was famous because of his great business acumen, then the nine other real estate billionaires in the U.S. who outrank Trump (one is worth Trump x 4), would be really famous. Yet we've never heard of 'em.
The only reason Trump is famous is because he pursued notoriety. When folks trust what they perceive Trump to be, they're basically trusting the MSM -- and Trump's own word, of course.
