I know this is a really radical idea and if these were “normal” times, the idea would be totally absurd and I would never even dream of suggesting it. But we’re living in Bizarro World these days so the fact that I’m making this suggestion based on something said by Omarosa Manigault Newman is absurd all by itself. But I just watched last night’s interview of her by Trevor Noah on The Daily Show and one of the last things she said was that the douche bag in the Oval Office revels in the outrage he stokes and that the media should “starve the beast.”
Which got me thinking — what if the mainstream media did a "protest" of their own and stopped covering the president. What if CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. all started their news shows saying something like, “Due to the constant lies and ad hominem attacks by this president, we will no longer report on any of his tweets or anything else he has to say unless it relates directly to a national interest and conveys important information of which the American public needs to be aware. But we will no longer report or discuss his insults or statements that are demonstrably false.”
I’ve already witnessed a tiny bit of discussion along these lines on MSNBC but I think we really need to fan the flames on it. How about it, MSM? Could you do it for a day? For a week? This douche bag really does thrive on the drama and attention he gins up and he’s accelerating it at an alarming rate. It swells his already swollen malignant ego so it’s time we stuck a collective pin it.
I’m going to send letters to the mainstream media with this suggestion. The worst that can happen is they laugh and hit “delete.” Anyone else care to join me?
