looks at current media cycle
… but is he wrong though? evil seems to be pulling in pretty high ratings these days.
anyway i’l be in my bed, crying quietly.
He’s not wrong. It is the most sensible thing I think I’ve ever heard from Donald Trump.
The man is horrible generally speaking, but he is a marketing genius.
He’s not a ‘marketing genius’ he’s an addict.
If you think about something 24/7 of course you’re going to get good at it.
Maybe, but you don’t often hear people call Jimmy Hendrix a guy who thought about guitar a lot. There is talent augmenting the interest. (Note: I’m not a fan of Trump, but I do think it is important to understand he’s strengths so he can be beaten in the election).
He isn’t wrong. There’s a reason why he’s the media’s darling. Love him or hate him, the media gets clicks and views, which is all they’re concerned about.
One morning Donny had a realization that ‘ratings’ and ‘votes’ were one and the same, and wondered if anyone else was smart enough to learn two languages without trying.
After he learnt to overtly treat it like a cruel game, he knew he stood a chance. He barely blinks and people lap it up.
Definitely the same thing fot his supporters.
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.
Joseph Heller, Catch 22 (1961)
I’m sure trump’s funeral will get great ratings. Can someone let him know that?
Seeing as he got free press from liberal and conservative media for saying the most stupid, racist, sexist, evil things, and even liberal late night host Jimmy Fallon let him talk his entire shit platform for free, because the “commentary” was trying to match his hands.
Meanwhile CNN intentionally left off Bernie from it’s polling and voter counts, like how Fox News didn’t talk about events that made Republicans look bad.
Why not be a fucking weirdo who says the dumbest things possible? You get free press, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. When a child rapist can run for Senate from Alabama and have a good shot at winning, but saying “I don’t think we should be bombing people, we should open dialogues and send food.” is a moral outrage that means you hate America as a whole, why not be the worst possible person?
Homelander.
Oh so he does know that he is an evil worthless piece of shit that is destroying america. He just doesn’t care.
I guess that’s to be expected from an evil worthless piece of shit.
Ah yes. Ratings are the only thing that matter!
Except there’s only two parties and they’re both evil so I think it actually doesn’t fucking matter and what a dumb fuck thing to say.
