An unexpected epilogue to my strange-but-true story of trying to navigate the battle between American journalism's past and its future. Strap in—this one gets a bit wild.
The sad part is what you are pointing out, tRump was out there calling 'fake news.' Now, I know there is a major difference between your words and the words of an orange raping pig. I point this out because tRump would crime daily and get the *news* chasing their tail providing him with cover to escape under the radar. tRump manipulated the system he knew was broken and arrogantly taunted them. Now he is a total scumbag bottom of the pond sucking orange shit-stain, while you are a very honorable, noble person with integrity.
tRump was smart enough to know when people caught up with his bullshit and called out the broken system, he would be there yelling 'fake news' again, claiming it is what he meant while gaslighting, victim blaming, and playing the victim. He knew from the time during his criminal career the media was changing in a bad way (he is very old) and how to manipulate them. This is why they cannot stop wanting tRump back on so he can get them clicks, and these clicks would lead them to deriving their popularity in social media, much like the movie The Social Dilemma showed young girls get their positive self-image from *hearts/likes*. The way people are tracked online with what people click/link to, is monetized which means big businesses want to cash in on those spoils.
Cuomo and Maddow should not feel the need to perform like circus monkeys for a buck. I bet their contracts (pays) are based on their 'popularity' and go up and down accordingly. I have to wonder if the media outlets have bots/trolls fishing around looking for key words to bring them things to aggregate on their shows or even to help boost their ratings. Someone or something was watching all critical words which led to you (within hours) being unfollowed. I do have to wonder if that was an automatic computer AI response which unfollowed, or interns watching hundreds of thousands of people for potentially unkind words.
Some of this may be a little too far out there, Seth, but I am having fun coming up with possibilities. Please do not be critical of my grammar, I did not reread this after reading your article, it is raw running with it thoughts.
