    Chris Geidner Retweeted Blake Hounshell

    The headline there, with its “Make Trump” framing, removes independent thought and judgment — and, hence, responsibility — from the person who is now president.https://twitter.com/blakehounshell/status/953053507204075521 …

    New York's tabloid media went insane when the AIDS crisis broke out. Is that what formed Trump's view of Haitian immigrants? https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/15/aids-panic-trump-haitians-216324 …

        Since it’s hidden there in the underlying tweet, here’s the headline. Yes, there is significant blame to go around — obviously — regarding AIDS hysteria, but this framing is wild.pic.twitter.com/UcH3pUjimh

        I'm getting more angry about this over time. The framing fails to recognize the number of people (including many other New Yorkers) who realized it *was* panic — and did things to work to end stigmas relating to HIV and AIDS.

        Did horrible media coverage influence his views? Of course it did. Did he change his views over time when presented with countervailing information (like happened with millions of others)? It appears not.

        AIDS panic did not "make" Trump do anything. Just like coverage of the Central Park Five did not "make" Trump place a full-page ad calling for the death penalty, to give but one example.

        No it makes assumptions about POTUS that are not backed with facts. So— gossip or fake.
