It’s not often Nancy Pelosi says something I agree with. But I will ALWAYS give people credit when they’re right.
So… while I don’t agree with much of the sentiment behind her statement, she’s actually spot on:
Pelosi, on Trump & the press: “May I say something you’re not going to like? I think the press loves him. All day on TV —and I don’t even watch TV, except sports. But he says somebody had a horse face —all day we hear about that. You just give him all day” https://t.co/NzPxcrkPJ8

Yup. She’s right. The media LOVES Trump. They love TO HATE HIM. In fact – they NEED him!
It wasn’t that long ago that CNN admitted they literally depend on Trump coverage to survive.
In fact, earlier this month CNN’s President Jeff Zucker made a preeeetty embarrassing confession to Vanity Fair: they literally NEED Trump to keep their audience’s attention.
According to Daily Caller:
When Zucker broached the question of why CNN spends such an inordinate time covering the president versus other subjects, Zucker said that he is practically dependent on him in order to keep their ratings.
“We’ve seen that, anytime you break away from the Trump story and cover other events in this era, the audience goes away. So we know that, right now, Donald Trump dominates,” Zucker said.
So yes.
This time… Nancy’s spot on.
Trump Derangement Syndrome keeps the media alive and well.
