Sometimes

Sometimes I have to wonder if Donald Trump and ISIS use the same marketing company, because both Trump and ISIS always get top billing in any news story. No matter what Trump says he is given credit by the mere fact that he said it. Immediately all the talking heads on ALL of the News Outlets, turn his behavior or unfounded quote into a debate giving it credence even as they try and insist what he said is stupid. Whenever there is an attack in the US or the rest of the world, the first thing we hear (right after the Breaking News and the sound track of the next horrific event) is “Even though ISIS has not publicly commented, we think it was ISIS initiated.” The talking heads come out of the over turned rocks, and insist that this is ISIS like, this is ISIS suggested, ISIS can by and watch as our News Outlets make them the spooky monsters.

Sometimes I have to wonder, who it is that is IN CHARGE of reporting the news? Are they just Accountants, who know any sound byte with Trump or ISIS in it brings in more revenue? Is it ill informed journalists who know that all they have to say is Trump or ISIS, offer no explanation why and take credit for being a Pulitzer Prize Reporter? Is it some douchebag who says keep America afraid, and dumb, and NEVER ever offer reasonable facts? Is it the People whom invented Reality Shows, who understand anything real is too mundane, but ANYTHING scripted is perceived as real?


Sometimes I wonder, why we all are so dumbfounded that Donald Trump has a following, and that ISIS just has to follow the fear we provide for them.
