One of the more persistent myths built up around Donald’s campaign to steal the nomination from Ted Cruz is that Don is heroically bearing up under a media onslaught meant to bring him down.
One can almost see the frescos and murals on buildings now of Donald and his faithful cadre of Donners beating back the likes of Sean Hannity, Rush, Fox news and the drudge report in their quest to wrest the nomination away from the ‘GOPe’ that Donald is allegedly entitled to.
For months now, the numbers have shown this to be a myth of almost epic proportions:
The media’s $2 billion gift to Trump
The Prime Time Primary: Trump vs. His Rivals on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC
Donald receives far more media coverage than anyone else – to which the Donners have the baseless and trite media onslaught rejoinder. One only needs to remind them that Donald can only seem to talk to certain media personalities while shunning others. The question of the occasion of Donald’s last challenging media interview aside from the Charlie Sykes Interview back at the end of March will leave them without a viable answer.
Hint: He hasn’t had one and he avoids like the plague interviewers who might offer any formidable questions
Further destroying this myth is the fact that -at least for a time -he was granted privileges not available to others such as phone interviews.
But at this point the Trannity affair has torn that all asunder, the afore mentioned Sean, Rush, Fox news and the drudge are so far in the Trump tank they get the bends on occasion.
Now, those people have a perfect right to support whomever they choose, but only if they do so in the open and give their audience a right to decide whether to listen to them or not. Maintaining their false pretense of ‘neutrality’ does a severe (if not fatal) disservice to their credibility.
This hidden media backing also highlights that Donald’s polling numbers are based on faulty perceptions ranging from media neutrality to outright hostility.
Were these media acolytes for Donald to come clean as it were his extra boast in polling would be seen for what is – a chimera that will evaporate into the ether in the fall sending his dreadful chances into the subbasement.
