The MSM are obsessed with stopping Trump’s tweets, which Trump claims reaches 100 million thru various social media outlets. The MSM hate the fact that Trump can speak directly to the people without going thru their filter and they are forced to cover them.

Trump should not stop tweeting and using social media. Gravitas? You are living in the past. Print media is dying. Technology is changing the way we communicate.

Are you unaware that I had never advocated Trump stopped tweeting?

Are you asserting that because of this new technology people do not want gravitas in their president, they do not want to feel that their destiny is in serious and sober hands?

I agree with you, Trump should continue to tweet, my objection is that his tweets at five o'clock in the morning on this subject were mishandled and if they had been properly conceived and vetted, he would have succeeded in changing the subject without opening himself to the attacks which undeniably have permitted the left to change the subject from illegal and unconstitutional surveillance to Russia and to Trump's competency.

Tweet on by all means but do so circumspectly when about matters of grave constitutional crisis.

Print media is dying.

Indianapolis' local paper, the Star, sure is!!

Section A, which USED to carry news, VERY few (small) ads and the editorial page; has been reduced to being almost 75% ads, the 'legal' stuff that USED to be in small print in the LAST section, and any 'news' you find in it has been replaced; for the most part; with speculation about one thing or another.


The Pulliam family, selling out (in more ways than one), to the GANNETT Corporation, has been a DISASTER for this conservative state.
