    Cause the American news media wants a second Trump presidency.

    And I don’t just mean Fox news and the like. I mean all of it.

    Because Trump was great for their ratings and viewship numbers.

    A Trump Presidency is better viewership than every day mass shootings, because people eventually get burned out and tired of mass shooting news and start tuning it out…

    But a Trump Presidency? Oh god, what fuckawful thing has the deflated jackolantern done this time? That’ll keep the viewers tuned in more than ever.

    Which is why they never go hard at trump. Thats why they always try to isolate everything he does into individual topics instead of tied to the greater whole of corruption.

      Even Canadian news media was the same. Trump would be on there every other night at least, and people tuned in to see what lie Trump told or stupid thing he did today. Many even had a special banner attached to it, similar to special coverage done for Olympic Games, certain wars, events or elections.
