I see Trump's ability to control the media conversation a positive.

Is he really controlling the media. Trump's negatives are very high.

How does one get elected with such high negatives?

Of course he is controlling the media.

As far as the high negatives go I guess we will see if the media is correct about that.

Time will tell.

One doesn't.

But maybe naive followers of a Pied Piper just can't deal with facts and rational analysis, just as the denizens of a Jonestown can't resist an urge to drink the Kool-Aid.

Seemed like Trump was controlling the media at first. He already had instant name recognition. Add to that his kick in the door, take no prisoners style, and that equals sensational ratings.

The media grabbed this gift and ran with it. I think the Trump/ Megan feud is just another bit of media schtick, probably scripted, to get ratings.

The media are controlling us—as always—more than we want to admit. And I think it’s entirely possible that more than a few media bigwigs want Trump to win. Feigning an adversarial relationship is working so far.
