I could give a dozen examples off the top of my head just from co-workers. I'm continually amazed how they only know one side of the stories (the MSM version).
One quick example - talking about misspent youths, my carpool driver brought up GWB's drinking. When I mentioned Obama's coke & pot stories, he had no idea what I was talking about. But here he was, a decade away from GWB's presidency, still thinking the same thoughts - and obviously in a big way, I mean who brings up GWB in casual conversation?
Great article, it clarifies a lot. Especially where he points out that Trump intentionally lays out these outlandish statements as a way of getting the media to report on his accomplishments, even if the statements “greatly exaggerate” them. Otherwise the media wouldn’t say anything at all on them.
This is one item to bring up with the “Never Trumpers” as a way of explaining how they are fed only what skewed information the media with liberal bias tells them.
By contrast, Trump haters can easily avoid ever hearing any praise for him or his policies at any time.
...these factors favor the Republicans and Trump supporters because it makes it easier to keep their opponents off their game.
Novak 'gets it'... great post - thanks...
