... audience is the stupid masses who have the memory of a goldfish.
It’s tribal, not rational.

Certainly, that is true. However, the tweets and broadsides aren’t aimed at the masses, but at the string-pullers. The press could stand aside, haughty and superior, ignore Trump’s ploys or explain them with a giggle, and actually accomplish something for their masters. Instead, with I don’t know how many platforms and channels minutely interpreting Q/POTUS/Alliance strategy, the MSM keep reacting as though they haven’t read any interpretations from anywhere.

They know as much as we do from the Anons and autists. They have their own channels of information to which we are not privy. They could inflame their audience easily with hoots of derision as in “Ain’t gonna work on me twice, fool.” and it would still be tribal and still serve the interests of the puppetmasters.

Yet, over and over again they fall for the same ploys. I’m missing something and it is annoying. I remain unconvinced it is stupidity and tribalism.

The press has to beware of confronting or acknowledging its naysayers and critics too much - doing so would give the naysayers more exposure in the bubble-world the press is creating for its consumers, and provide latitude and fodder for questioning the orthodoxy.

Think Baghdad Bob. He never went off message. It would have been effective if Saddam Hussein had defeated the US forces. Our media is the same. They have picked a side, and are in it to the bitter end. Their role is propaganda.
