You can see the administration strategy as it has been and is now: claim it’s a fringe issue, declare and define the mainstream of America as those who accept the administration’s spin. The mainstream media, as is well known, carries water for this administration, even to a large extent Fox. Whereas it works to marginalize people who have no large media shadow, eg. most of the people reading this and myself, and even works with those in politics and elsewhere who must build their name, as most think they need to, it doesn’t work at all with someone who’s already established their name, as Donald Trump has. It in fact works against the mainstream media and the administration to try and marginalize an independently established name. But since they have no coherent, truthful response, ie. facts, to counter with all they do is draw more attention to it and gather more of the people who might have already dismissed it to now take it seriously.
In other words, this is backfiring exponentially on the administration and the mainstream media because their only weapon was painting those questioning as begrudging, crazed, cavemen and marginalizing them, pushing them to the fringe. But it won’t work with Trump.
good observations, agreed. The media manipulation is getting so dull.
