Rubio is correct that the media is overfocussed on celebrities, his implication that this is some new thing or unfair to republicans is not correct.

Quote

the GOP likes to play this game where they pretend that they dont know the rules of the game whenever they're losing, this is a prime example.

their party elected a reality TV star and career conman, they know for US media is, but somehow are shocked that 1 + 1 indeed = 2.

Rubio started off as an enemy of Trump, but has rolled over, and for what? a long list of legislative wins? conservative justices that would have been elected even if he was as vocal or more of Trump's issues as Jeff Flake?

he showed his belly because he, like most of the conservatives in Senate/Congress, are scared shitless of Trump's base in their home electorate. Spineless cowards preserving a 200k a year paycheck on the books and millions of under the table influence money. grand standing on the known state of modern media and its celebrity centric meta, that same meta that got Trump elected, that legitimized him as a celebrity. without the US celeb driven meta in media Trump would have been laughed out of politics, instead of laughed into the GOP nomination and laughed at in the White House for what he says.

in short, gas can start a fire or melt off your eyebrows. so give me a fucking break Cam.

Why should they post good news? Their only obligation is to their shareholders and bashing Trump gets clicks.

They have a moral obligation to be unfair to Trump if it generates money.

The idea that its not correct is downright laughable and shouldn't even need to be argued here.
Its extremely blatant and pervasive.

Its not simply a 'focus on celebrities'' its a focus on negativity and bashing Trump instead of reporting good news.
The media treatment of Trump is categorically different than how they treat other celebrities and his party affiliation has a lot to do with it.



Bashing Rubio for supporting Trump is irrelevant and doesn't make him wrong.
I don't like Rubio either. He is correct here.

I correctly noted you switched your tune from bashing Rubio for bringing it up to implicitly admitting it was correct.
No amount of breaks given will save you from being wrong.

media being anti republican in a general sense, ok.

media being anti republican in the context of trump:

using Trump to drive home the point of the media being anti conservative is like using how men treat a hooker as proof of misogyny.

Trump was the monster the media created with their lies.

a guy who made a career out of a fake apprenticeship, cut rate contracting in the most corrupt real estate city in america, starring in WWE, having a book that what ghostwritten in his name, and generally lying about his wealth by gold plating his own legacy. and its the media's fault when he decides to be president.

jesus man. the media is bad, but this is the most predictable conjunction junction function i can imagine. trump playing victim is beyond pathetic.

Youre implying that liberalism isnt most of what killed TV in the first place.

literally every positive vaccine trial ive seen has been reported. did marco want them to write stories on the fact that vaccines were being worked on? i even saw stories when they made it through phases. look at the stock market thread here, each development got stories and caused stock bumps for pfizer, astrozenica, etc.

his tweet could be summarized as "why they print dumb stuff he say, it make us all look bad."
