Make sure there is an app, that it is free and works on TV streaming devices.

Democratic presidents have controlled news networks and newspapers since the FDR administration while GOP have not only been shut out of media access, but constantly attacked.

Essentially, the news media embargos GOP president’s message. Trump will get his message to the people.

He could grant OAN an exclusive interview, and move that reporter into the Compost’s spot . . .

He should buy One America Network and make it national—To the right of Fox. A Fireside chat of sorts to discuss real issues—Maybe a talk show with Sarah Palin, Pat Buchanan, or ? Run some old movies like “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” or new movies like “13 Hours”. Not a bad idea—beat the MSM at their own game. I would also suggest he like it to a “Newspaper” and a Magazine —a conservative newspaper and magazine-—like the ones we had long ago. He would make it so it would make a profit. Make em national. I still think he will win the White House in November—but it will not be easy—a cabal of powerful people will do their best to get rid of him. GOPe, DNC, Liberal Media, Liberal Hollywood, SNL, Unions, Mexican - Americans, etc...

I would help him produce documentaries and TV shows (I have two awards)—but my views are toxic in Hollywoodland.

Depends what he wants to do. I would do a online streaming service unless you want to end up like Newsmax and OANN having trouble getting on systems. Sadly to make revenue the online idea would have to be pay for 4 to 9 bucks. But I think it should be free or end up like OANN where you have to go to great lengths to see it online if you don’t have a cable system with it.

IF he were to decide to do this, I would suggest only hiring employees who have a verifiable history of voting in the Republican primaries for an extended period of years, top to bottom, from the talking heads to the janitors. Republicans are proving daily that they can’t be trusted to do things to benefit Country over self-serving -— but they are still a bit better than democrats. I just don’t think and entire media that votes Democrat every time can find any kind of a fair and balanced way to provide “truth” to We the People.

Why are we even entertaining this distraction. He need Trump to win in November to save this country from the cliff, not perpetuate stories that he is out for brand recognition and glory and doesn’t want to be President.

My name is on a ton of things that no one will ever watch.

The highest profile projet that I was involved was a Marian McPartland and Dave Brubek special but the jerk technical manager pressured the producer to put the name of his favorite pet who wasn’t there and omit me.

It wasn’t until a couple of years later I caught it during making a few dubs.

I helped some on an indy film, not sure what became of it.

Other than the stock content, I slap something together for youtube fodder.

I try to listen out for things I could be involved in but the midlands of SC isn’t a production hotbed.

...the presumptive Republican nominee is thinking about trying to monetize that audience for himself.

They're really falling to pieces. Coordinating their "fake" news stories to try and prove somehow that Trump is going to not only get money for this but that he is and get this...
TAKING OVER THEIR SPOTS AS NEWS PROPAGANDISTS.

It's ok if they do it but Hell To The No! They can't have us knowing what's really going on.

We've broken their bonds on freedom of information. They stop us in a spot (Facebook, Google) and Just like that, we get what we need to our Brothers and Sisters.

I just LOVE that we are proving what we have said for a long time. Mainstream media is PROPAGANDA, Not news.

Jedidah:

Control the message?

You can’t be serious.

I thought we were all for the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech and the press and all that. Right?




Timpanagos1:

Essentially, the news media embargos GOP president’s message. Trump will get his message to the people.




So, Timpanagos1, we should be hypocrites? I can't believe that I'm reading this on a conservative board.

It’s not hypocritical, it is simply a stay strategy to have similar media access.

While he’s at it, Trump needs to purchases thousands and thousands of copies of “13 Hours” and get them to as many Independent likely voters as possible.
