The President's Dangerous Media Diet
In a time when headlines can make you question reality, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has a few choice words about President Trump's media habits. It seems Trump's trusted source of information is none other than Fox News, and this reliance has sparked concern, even among his own advisors.
Kimmel humorously highlights how Trump's understanding of current events is seemingly shaped by Fox News' coverage. For instance, Trump's desire to send the National Guard to Portland was apparently influenced by footage of 2020 unrest, which he believed was happening in the present. When Oregon's Governor Tina Kotek clarified that Portland was calm, Trump was left confused, questioning if he was watching different news.
"Yes, dum-dum, you are!" Kimmel quipped, adding that Trump is on a five-year delay from the rest of us.
But here's where it gets controversial: Trump's inner circle, who worked at Fox News just 10 months ago, knows the dangers of the misinformation spread by the network. Kimmel paints a worrying picture, suggesting that the President's understanding of world events is akin to that of patrons at a Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Chili's To Go.
And this is the part most people miss: the impact of media influence on decision-making. With major networks aligning with those in power, the need for fearless journalism is more crucial than ever. It's a call to action for those who value truth and facts.
So, what do you think? Is media influence a serious concern, or is this just a funny quirk of the President's? Let us know in the comments!
