Malcolm GauldPutting aside what I or anyone else might think of Donald Trump, has there ever been a public figure in history who can match him when it comes to garnering national media attention?
In a 6/15/23 Boston Globe piece titled “For the media, it’s still all Trump, all the time,” Joan Vennochi writes,
Let’s face it. Trump owns us. It started back in 2015, when he announced his quest to become president, and continues eight years later. The zeal of the establishment media to expose the ugly truths about Trump has amplified his message and paralyzed American politics. It is still all Trump, all the time, whether it’s Trump versus his would-be Republican rivals or Trump versus President Biden. Pundits swear off him like alcohol during dry January, but none of us can stay away from him forever.
Just what I was thinking.
Onward, Malcolm Gauld
