FDR was largely successful president because he mastered first the use of the radio.
I think the reason that it is so powerful and destructive to the Left is that Tweeting allows Trump to simply bypass the filter of the Media.
In the past, when the President said anything in a speech or interview, the media had free reign to present it in any fashion they wished and to frame it any way they liked. They could filter the message before presenting it to people who were dumbly accepting of anything they said.
Now, Trump simply bypasses that filter. His comments come completely unfiltered to millions of people, which means the media can only apply their filter after the fact, and EXACTLY what the President said is available to millions of people in its completely UNFILTERED mode.
Brilliant, just brilliant. In a single step, he gets past the shield of the Media to stick the fork in the Leftists in any manner and any place he chooses, and there is NOTHING they can do about it!
It’s part of the reason the media hate Trump he doesn’t need them,
if you combine the evening news audience of NBC ABC and CBS add the primetime audiences of FOX CNN and MSNBC and toss in the circulation of the top 10 US news papers like WaPo NY Times LA Times USA today etc. And you would reach about 29 million people
Trump has 62.5. Million Twitter followers
