(60,348 posts)This is what Trump depends on. This is how he controls all the news all the time.
The biggest problem is the absolute ridiculousness of the things about which they are saying, "Let's investigate that." If he said, "I have nine noses," should their knee jerk reaction be, "Let's investigate that"?
The world actually IS round. Gravity actually DOES make things fall to the ground. Pool vandalizing leftist gangs DO NOT exist and Trump DID fuck up. It wastes everyone's time and adds credibility to the asinine to say, "Let's investigate that!"
As you say, this is probably aimed at the maga who will believe him no matter what, even when he does say, "Look at my face, I have nine noses." But should the New York Times, the paper of record, be saying, "Hmmm. Let's look at his face and count, because I think there's only one!" Doesn't that make them completely useless about news that does matter?
