    Honestly, the media will amplify this jerk because it generates clicks and views, and thus advertising dollars and engagement. It’d be nice if we didn’t amplify this jerk here at lemmy, but … well, I expect the ‘I do what I want hur’ response any minute now, so here we are. Trump amplified. The BS persists.

      Well, I guess if there were any jerks that you don’t want to amplify, you could just stop talking about them so much. Don’t jerks love attention?!

      I know for me personally, I just ignore the jerks and I keep on posting political news to this community because this is a political news community. Thank you! :)
