The first sentence “Trump as a candidate is almost entirely a creation of the media” is false.

It’s reasonable to not bother wasting time with an argument built on a false premise.

Trump wasn’t build by the media, if anything, Trump built the media that has been covering him. By way of example “The Apprentice” is going to die without the guy who built it.

You say:

I say in the second sentence of the vanity:

That is not to deny that he is adept at manipulating the media, that is perfectly plain.

You say:

It’s reasonable to not bother wasting time with an argument built on a false premise.

I say,

It is a false technique of argument to create a false premise and then knock that strawman down because it is a "false premise."
