It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if Trump shouted “I’m going to execute you!” at the top of his lungs while throwing a baby out the window, on film, in front of a million people; if the headline makes inferred jumps and sensationalizes the event, it is not a news article. Its opinion/talk or whatever label you want to call it.
And that is exactly why we’re here. Trump is a troll that thrives on tabloid journalism; everything that’s even a little exaggerated is just feeding him. It’s why he’s there. And I am very sensitive to the idea that “it’s really news because its true with these conditions and aligns with my beliefs” because thats the core operating mode of MAGA.
