Washington Post's Margaret Sullivan: Media Are Trump's Puppet, or Abused Spouse
Newsbusters ^ | April 30, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

What planet do you have to live on to believe that the mainstream media has allowed President Donald Trump to treat them like puppets?

The answer is the same planet inhabited by TDS afflicted Margaret Sullivan, the Washington Post media columnist. To give you an idea of where Sullivan is coming from, take a look a her column of a month ago in which she she demanded that "The media must stop live-broadcasting Trump’s dangerous, destructive coronavirus briefings."

On Tuesday, Sullivan displayed her latest TDS hallucination by fantasizing that "Trump has played the media like a puppet. We’re getting better — but history will not judge us kindly." Yup! You read that right. Sullivan is under the delusion that the over the top hostile media is acting as if it were mere puppets for Trump."

Mark down Sullivan as another one that will need to be tied down to a gurney on the evening of November 3.

“Trump has played the media like a puppet.”

He indeed has, in part, because, for hate’s sake, they claim absolutely everything he says and does is bad and wrong. That gives him considerable power to manipulate them into absolutely ludicrous positions.

They could escape this conundrum if they attempted simply to report the news. But they want their business to be making opinions, ones that conform to their own.

I think Trump should put in a rush order for about 10 MILLION straightjackets and the construction of millions of rubber rooms for the treatment of TDS.
