In the New York Times Op-Ed Section of today, Op-Ed columnist Charles Blow really has had enough with this piece regarding Donald Trump titled "Enough is Enough". He starts off the editorial with the statement:
When Donald Trump’s security escorted the Univision anchor Jorge Ramos out of a news conference on Tuesday, I decided that I was officially done.
Maybe I should have been long before that.
From there, he goes on to cite the various examples of why he should have had enough long before the Jorge Ramos incident. Citing 199 lies from an earlier Politico magazine piece on Trump, he lists the most egregious ones, and then goes on to express his frustration with the media and their coverage of Trump 24/7/365.
The never-ending, exhaustive, even breathless coverage of every outrage that issues forth from this man’s mouth is not news. Every offense and attack is not news.
Every morning that Trump rolls out of bed and calls in to a news show is not news.
Covering a political phenomenon as news is one thing. See the coverage of Bernie Sanders. Creating a political phenomenon and calling it news is quite another.
He the concludes his piece with a quote from again, Politico:
The media is being trolled on a massive scale and we look naïve and silly to have fallen for it, even if he draws readers and viewers. When people refer to the press as the fourth estate, it shouldn’t be confused with a Trump property.
Allow me to share one more of Trump’s quotes from Politico:
89. “My brand became more famous as I became more famous, and more opportunities presented themselves.” (Amazon.com, 2007)
