It's all about him. |

He accurately quoted a tweet from Donald Trump. Here it is again, with a link to it: The Wall Street Journal always “forgets” to mention that the ratings for the White House Press Briefings are “through the roof” (Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale, according to @nytimes) & is only way for me to escape the Fake News & get my views across. WSJ is Fake News! [link to twitter.com (secure)] No, Soros didn't pay me to quite Trump's tweet. |

Calls WSJ "fake news" because they didn't mention his ratings in an editorial. President Trump on Thursday blasted The Wall Street Journal for an editorial criticizing the daily White House press briefings, complaining that the news outlet failed to give proper attention to the number of viewers they attract. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78773221 "The Wall Street Journal always 'forgets' to mention that the ratings for the White House Press Briefings are 'through the roof,'" Trump tweeted, referencing a New York Times piece that recently compared the number of viewers to "Monday Night Football" or "The Bachelor." The president asserted that the briefings were the "only way for me to escape the Fake News & get my views across. WSJ is Fake News!" In an opinion piece published Wednesday night titled "Trump’s Wasted Briefings," the Journal's editorial board bemoaned that the daily press conferences ostensibly intended to focus on the latest news surrounding the coronavirus had become "more about the many feuds of Donald J. Trump." The editorial board wrote that Trump's frequent attacks on the press, governors and his critics during the briefing were "off-key" given the severity of the pandemic, which has killed thousands of people in the U.S. The board urged Trump to cede center stage at the briefings to Vice President Pence and top health officials, who have regularly appeared at the briefings but have primarily waited to provide updates until the president delivers his own remarks. Trump's tweet Thursday — which marked a rare shot from the president at the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal — highlighted the president's fixation on how his briefings are playing in the media. He frequently boasts about their popularity, and White House officials have complained about networks that do not air them in their entirety. [link to thehill.com (secure)] Wow, many people are dying and all Trump cares about is his TV ratings. Come election day people will remember Trump cared more about his TV ratings than he did about Americans dying. |

Hours later, Trump cuts down on his appearance at today’s press briefing to just 20 minutes - the shortest so far. |

Geez, poor Trump is going to be really upset when he learns people are watching to get updates on the virus, what's occurring in the country and what is being done by those elected to lead... And that is has absolutely zero to do with him. It's not a tv show Donny Boy. People aren't tuning in to be entertained and they love you as the presenter. They're scared and trying to get information. Imagine this guy if he ever had to use the emergency broadcast system. "The fake media never talks about how high my ratings were. Some say the highest ever...of all time... All they want to talk about is the damage caused by the explosions" |

I guess the same as here - people are watching because they are worried. they expect pertinent information about the state of the country and how the government are handling it. It isn't because Trump is the best new reality tv star.... |
