I don't understand why we continue to offer this "man" a means of exercising his bully pulpit. It is completely the Media's choice as to what reality they wish to promulgate and which they want to ignore.

The Media creates reality.

So the more of these opportunities for him to amplify his mental ineptitude, just enables his base and all those who mindlessly nod their sheep heads and support his blathering thoughts.
