Donald Trump wants the world to acknowledge his ridiculous story about people cheering on 9/11, so today he printed some articles from the web and shared them on Periscope. Normally we might think that printing out websites and streaming them on a smartphone is a senile act, but don't let Trump fool you. Every time he speaks on Periscope, he'll deal another blow to media's traditional gatekeepers.
Here's an inconvenient truth about Donald Trump: regardless of his electoral viability, he's completely owning the mainstream media. It's really not a contest. The formula for Trump's media dominance is simple: Donald Trump says something legitimately crazy, and the news media is forced to react to his every move, because they don't own as much of Trump's audience as they used to. When Trump wanted to share racist statistics on crime that were conjured by white supremacists, he clicked a button, and those ideas reached his audience without the say of an editor. And when he was then challenged by the media on those statistics, Trump basically said "what is a retweet, really," and went about his day. (The thoroughly debunked tweet is still in Trump's timeline.)[continued]

Berlosconi all over again.
Somebody has had too much lib KoolAid.
BTW the story is NOT ridiculous. It has been proved several times over. The reason The Donald owns the media is because they are galactically stupid and agenda driven to the point that truth doesn't enter into their pronouncements.
Ha! Beat them up and take their lunch money!! :)
A rant from the hiipsters at the Verge.
It’s supposed to be a rech nlog, but they obviouslyare following in the footsteps of Gawker.
Translation: Trump brings to light something the MSM thought they had safely stuffed down the memory hole. They then have to scramble to discredit Trump and make him out to be a liar, but slowly the truth trickles out as millions of people scour the internet and their personal files to recover that which was given the memory hole treatment.
Then ordinary people say to themselves “gee, I guess he was right,” and the MSM has a snit.
The mainstream medi and the RINO GOP elites created Donald Trump by their lying and their inaction, respectively.
Scream it from the mountaintops! TRUTH!
I was snooping around the DUmp the other day, and there was a thread titled Donald Trump is BROKE!
He based this assessment on how little money was in Trump’s political warchest...you know, the warchest by which we judged Romney and for a short while Jeb as the likely primary winner.
But none of that matters now. Trump doesn’t need to spend money. He gets more free coverage every day than Jeb could buy with a month’s worth of Karl Rove’s money.
Not only does owns the Lib Moonbat media, he owns the competition. He owns the GOP presidential field. He owns Hillary and every dingbat candidate they could throw up against him. Say hello President Trump.
I just love to see Trump kick the LSM’s butt up and down the street all day long, day after day, week after week, month after month.
‘zactly. Trump is a MediaMaster.
Wow.
“When Trump wanted to share racist statistics on crime that were conjured by white supremacists”
I hadn’t heard about this. Possibly the bedwetter author is angry if someone cites FBI crime statistics by race?
Trump maybe the owner of the media, but does Trump view Jerusalem as the undesputed capital of Israel ?
Heard Trump getting some booos from the audience in his question and answer time there about that. His answer didn’t make to many happy.
