Trump’s Twitter Is the Most Influential Media Outlet in the World Critics who think the president will ever stop tweeting don't understand its power by Eddie Zipperer | Updated 03 Jul 2017 Yesterday, President Donald Trump tweeted a mock video of himself body-slamming CNN in a wrestling match. It was a perfect metaphor for the past week — which the president spent using Twitter to chokeslam the fake news media. The media erupt in faux tears whenever the president lashes out on Twitter, and pundits demand that he stop tweeting. They’re full of advice: He should delete his account. He should hire swamp monsters to cleanse his tweets. He should hand over his smartphone. But they’re wasting their breath. Asking President Trump not to tweet would be like asking Teddy Roosevelt to carry a smaller stick. Or advising Abraham Lincoln that it’s more concise to just say “eighty-seven years ago.” President Trump will tweet until his final day in office, and he’d be a fool not to. His personal Twitter page, @realdonaldtrump, is the most influential media outlet on earth. Period. It fuels the 24-hour news cycle. CNN covers President Trump's Twitter as if it were the fourth branch of our government. For years, CNN pundit Chris Cilizza's Twitter bio has read, "'One of the dumber and least respected of the political pundits.' — Donald Trump." That's not an accident. It's not a funny little anecdote that gave Cillizza a good laugh. It's the brand that he chose, and in terms of marketing effectiveness, it absolutely outshines "Opinion writer at CNN."

The Redskins Defeat the PC Left; Networks Yawn By Scott Whitlock | June 30, 2017 It’s officially over. The Washington Redskins have defeated the politically correct left. And the liberal media couldn't care less. The Washington Post, a newspaper that led the fight against the team keeping the name, relegated the story to the metro section. The headline announced, “Washington Redskins win trademark fight over the team’s name.” All three networks on Thursday night and Friday morning skipped the news. Post writers Ian Shapira and Ann E. Marimow conceded, “On Thursday, after protests outside NFL stadiums, vows by sports journalists never to use the word and even former president Barack Obama urging team owner Daniel Snyder to change the name, the battle petered out.” They added: On Thursday, the five Native Americans fighting the NFL team over its trademark registrations called it quits in federal appeals court. So did the Justice Department, which on Wednesday declared the team the winner. This is the same Post that spent 32,000 words in 2012 and 2013 attacking the name, the paper that was disappointed to do a poll and find out that 90 percent of Native Americans don’t find the name offensive. (In May of 2016, when that poll was conducted, the networks ignored it.) http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2017/06/30/redskins-defeat-pc-left-networks-yawn
