(including swims across the Potomac) proving his own energy and youth, or his insider support for \u201cmuckraking\u201d authors like Upton Sinclair (his book, <em>The Jungle, <\/em>exposed the Chicago unsafe and unsanitary Chicago meatpacking industry) Roosevelt kept public pressure on the Congress to get his agenda passed.<\/p>\n<p>While current President Donald Trump is \u201cno Teddy Roosevelt,\u201d he does have a well-developed sense of the media.\u00a0It is clearly his goal to dominate every news cycle.\u00a0 There is an old saying, \u201cno news is good news.\u201d\u00a0 However, in the Trump Administration the phrase has been altered to say \u201cany news is better than no news.\u201d\u00a0 For example, this weekend the US news cycle was dominated by the news of the death of Senator John McCain, one of the very few Republicans to stand up against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In order to regain the news cycle, the Trump White House decided to create a controversy over the US flag flying over the building.\u00a0 It was lowered to half-staff immediately upon hearing of the Senator\u2019s death on Saturday, but on Sunday was raised back up.\u00a0 The media then spent most of Monday focusing on whether the President would honor McCain by lowering the flag or not.\u00a0 He waited until Monday afternoon, stealing the daily news cycle, then begrudgingly declared a state of national mourning and officially lowering the flag.<\/p>\n<p>But the Trump Administration has gone far past \u201cstunts\u201d to manipulate media attention.\u00a0 They also have gone to great lengths to create a theme that much of the media lies about the President.\u00a0\u00a0 The President has instructed his supporters to ignore \u201cFake news.\u201d That has become their battle cry when any story is presented that shows the Administration in a critical light.\u00a0 Yesterday Trump even went so far as to demand that Google change its search algorithm in order to make the Administration look better.\u00a0 He quoted a conservative blog article showing that Google on a given day showed over 90% negative articles when googling the President.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chuck Todd of NBC\u2019s Meet the Press had a great retort to this claim.\u00a0 He noted that almost all of the articles about the Cleveland Brown\u2019s football team have been negative in the past three years.\u00a0Todd pointed out that there wasn\u2019t much positive to talk about a team that won 4 games and lost 44 over those three years (a 91% losing record.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And like the Yellow Journalism of Hearst and Pulitzer, the President also is willing to create crises out of nothing.\u00a0Monday night he met with Christian Evangelical leaders in the White House.\u00a0 In the meeting he stated:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf the GOP loses<\/em><em>(control of the House of Representatives in the November elections) they will overturn everything that we&#8217;ve done and they&#8217;ll do it quickly and violently, and violently. There&#8217;s violence. When you look at Antifa and you look at some of these groups \u2014 these are violent people.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em>So, his message is that if he loses and the Democrats win, then there will be violence against Christians and Republicans by the Democrats.\u00a0 It\u2019s a ludicrous idea, but it\u2019s a continuing message to his base:\u00a0if we lose, our world will end.\u00a0Be ready to fight.<\/p>\n<p>The Administration\u2019s \u201cfake news\u201d and distractions continue on an hourly basis.\u00a0Just in the past two days, from the flag, to violence, to firing Attorney General Sessions, to Google, to spreading rumors that China hacked Clinton\u2019s email; they have tried to dodge the realities of the Russia investigation, and Democratic gains, and another burgeoning crisis over the inappropriate influence in the building of a new FBI headquarters (and its impact on Trump\u2019s Washington Hotel.)<\/p>\n<p>President Trump has certainly achieved one goal:\u00a0 he has so muddied American thought and perception that it is often difficult to tell what is real news, and what is fluff.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have struggled against his media savvy there are two signs that may clarify the waters.\u00a0 The upcoming elections in November may create a new narrative with greater integrity. And the Mueller report will lay bare Trump\u2019s flaws, dissolving \u00a0his \u201cFake News.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Controlling the News My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening Alice Longworth Roosevelt, daughter of Teddy Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest man to serve as President of the United States at forty-two. \u00a0He was also the \u201cfirst\u201d modern President, &hellip;
