Business as Usual
Well, AOL has done it again. Their latest headline stated: “Donald Trump tweets outrage at CNN for using an unflattering picture of him on book cover.” Notice the word “outrage”. So, to explore this “outrage” I followed the link. Now the headline on the link had downgraded “outrage” to “dissatisfaction”.
The outrage/dissatisfaction was over the picture of Trump that CNN put on the cover of a book they’re publishing called, “Unprecedented: The Election That Changed Everything."
Trumps actual tweet said, “@CNN just released a book called 'Unprecedented' which explores the 2016 race & victory. Hope it does well but used worst cover photo of me!"
If any other industry pulled this kind of garbage it would be called fraud, bait-n-switch, flimflam, con job, hustle, or rip-off. But from the media it's business as usual.
