Trump needs to chill a bit. Have thicker skin.
This is a common MSM fraud media move:
1. Get photo of nut in audience
2. Get photo of candidate you don’t like with their mouth open - which makes everyone look terrible.
3. Show empty space in stadium or room or whatever.
Creates the spin the campaign lacks momentum.
Meanwhile, for Obama’s 2008 media love fest the crowds were amazing, women were fainting, the oceans were healing...
“Trump “doesn’t seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how the media works in this country.””
Tell Hillary Linton that and her media minions.
Politico.
If it’s the event that I’m thinking of, TRUMP had a couple hours before he next event, so they asked him to speak. He was humble that the amount of people showed up on short notice. This wasn’t a campaign (scheduled) stop. Extra time that he was using to the fullest.
A lot of weird paraphrasing, quote snippets, and cherry soundbite cherry picking going on here. Hard to tell who said what. But then again this is Polutico so Trump will be cast in the worst light possible. I get it.
Meanwhile Hillary can’t fill anything and yet the press protects her.
Trump needs to lighten up - they are getting to him. And now he’s made the crowd size a big issue. We can expect more shots of uncrowded rooms. This could spiral.
The chairs were only empty, he explained, because the crowd had surged forward to surround him.
“I was speaking from the podium. Everybody was wrapped around the podium. If they hadn’t done that, there wouldn’t have been an empty seat,” he told the Daily Mail. “’I’ve never made a speech where there were so many people wrapped around the podium in the front. That’s what happened.”
Eat that, “The Most Connected Man in Washington”, Mr. Jamie Dupree. The room not half empty like you said on the Sean Hannity Radio Show. Trump still draws. Next time do your homework.
The media is the enemy of conservatives.
That is crystal clear to Trump and he’s determined to repel any attack from them, by exposing their tactics and exploding in their faces... pronto.
Can’t say I blame him.
He will do the country a great service if he can “cut off the balls” of all the propaganda organs.
Go Trump!
Journalists do not realize with how much disdain they are held. Statements like this one are going to be brought back to them.
This was a black event. The fact that he got anyone watching him is great in and of its self. They are usually democrat robot voters.
Actually, that's exactly how the media works in this country, if it's a Democrat who's doing the telling...
No one except Limbaugh makes an issue of this kind of bias.
The public needs to be educated that omission bias is easy and common.
Trump is doing it. He may not have to, but he is doing all of us a favor.
Journos should stop and consider the impact of a photo on a candidate and whether it is fair to the candidate, compared to how the journo portrays other candidates.
Have they ever shown the empty seats at one of Hillary’s yawners? Or at one of Obunga’s recent events? It’s the stark, blatant, shameless prostitution by the media that must not go unexposed....and ISN’T, thanks to Trump. If they’re going to snipe; then make sure it’s equal opportunity sniping....because Trump is taking names and publishing them!
There’s a part of me that winces when Trump does this. But OTOH, if he does it regularly, and forcefully, he just MIGHT actually break a few of them from sucking eggs. And he surely knows a heap more about dealing with the media than I do.
He needs to learn how to mock the propaganda machine and, yes, release his photos of an impromptu stop.
