      2. Obama's theory is: Trump wanted publicity so ran for president, press gave him too much attention, now we're in a mess.

      3. I think Obama is wrong on a couple of counts here. Trump is a clown but the social movement he's unleashed is all too serious.

      5. But reason CNN/Fox/MSNBC give Trump so much attention is that he gets great ratings. There's genuine public interest in him, pro & con

      6. What might be more accurate is to say that Trump's been master at getting free media since 1980s, so better at it than other candidates

      7. Within context of USA's plutocratic democracy, being able to get free media is a huge advantage. That's what Trump exploited.

      8. Bigger problem with TV coverage of Trump is not amount of coverage but how uncritical it has been. Never enough fact-checking.

          9. So: Obama's not completely right, nor completely wrong. There needs to be soul searching about media's role in rise of Trump.

          @HeerJeet I think the worst of Trump media is yet to come. If they don't get their horse race, he'll suddenly be Lincoln.
