For months now as the pandemic has raged on 愈演愈烈 in America, Trump has been consumed with grievance politics, using Twitter and his campaign events to lash out at his opponents, while complaining to allies and friends about how poorly he is being treated by the press.

His campaign postponed a Saturday campaign event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, citing weather. Trump has repeatedly made light of the virus' danger -- perhaps no more glaringly than last week when he falsely said that 99% of case are harmless.

特朗普为未来铺路?: If just one of those stories sounds familiar and the other farcical, that might come down to the news you consume. In a fractured media landscape, it's never been easier to pick your side and have your views reinforced 想法更坚定. Trump has made a virtue of this, attacking those he disagrees with as "fake news" while lauding those who paint him in a positive light. Yet increasingly there is another cable news network that is getting praise from and access to the President, while at the same time he is doubling down on criticism of Fox News. Initially this was seen as Trump simply giving succour ( succor = succour [ˈsʌkər] vt & noun. help given to someone who is in serious need. Succour is help given to people who are suffering or in difficulties. ...a commitment to give succour to populations involved in the conflict. If you succour someone who is suffering or in difficulties, you help them. Helicopters fly in appalling weather to succour shipwrecked mariners. ) to another sympathetic outlet, but some are now questioning whether there is a greater goal at play. Is the President preparing for an election loss in November, and a move towards a long-held dream of a Trump TV network? What started as a makeshift news network (One America News Network (OANN)) rapidly evolved in its first few years to become seen as one of the most ardently pro-Trump voices in the media. Its history has been well documented by the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR), which details how it went from a news service aiming to deliver straight reports to something more akin to a Trump cheer squad 啦啦队. The CJR paints a picture of a newsroom ruled by Herring, where pro-Trump stories are prioritised and there is an anti-immigrant, pro-police theme to much of its output that is in "lockstep" with the President's view of the world. "[Herring] is in control of absolutely everything he wants to be, and if someone doesn't like it, they're fired," one former anchor told the CJR. It was one of the first to cotton on to ( cotton on 醒悟过来, 意识到 [British, informal] If you cotton on to something, you understand it or realize it, especially without people telling you about it. She had already cottoned on to the fact that the nanny was not all she appeared. It wasn't until he started laughing that they cottoned on! ) the "Trump effect" in the lead-up to the last Presidential election. In 2015, when many outlets were still treating Trump like a sideshow 陪跑的, OANN decided to show one of his rallies in full. At the time, not even Fox was airing them. It was a ratings bonanza, and since then OANN has made a point to air Trump's rallies and speeches in full. It even apologised when it missed one. Come October 2016, when the infamous "pussy grabbing" tape surfaced that included Trump talking about how fame enabled him to grope and try to have sex with women, OANN responded with its own analysis. Under the banner "actions speak louder than words", it ran a five-minute package that began with the opening lines: "While many pundits and politicians continue to focus on Donald Trump's recently leaked tape, many are refusing to recognise Trump's accomplishments, and how he lifted up spirits for those who were struggling." On any measure OANN is still small fry compared to the likes of Fox News, whose ratings and reach extends well beyond any of its rivals — conservative or otherwise. OANN also has an established presence at White House news briefings, with reporter Chanel Rion using her access to ask questions that give the President and his press secretary rein to speak on far-right theories and personal grievances 个人不满, 个人牢骚. Rion's question: "Is it alarming that major media players, just to oppose you, are consistently siding with foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals and Latin gangs and cartels, and they work right here at the White House with direct access to you?" Over this same period, Trump has been fiercely critical of Fox News — especially its decision to air its polls that show Democrat Joe Biden ahead of the incumbent in the Presidential race. Trump has publicly lashed the network at least 16 times this year. So, what is going on now? There are two prevailing theories. The first is, these tweets are nothing more than Trump revelling in coverage he likes and venting about reports he doesn't, and we really shouldn't read anything more into it than that. The second is that he is trying to play OANN and Fox News off against each other, hoping they will vie for his attention by providing favourable coverage. In January the Wall Street Journal broke the story that allies of the President were exploring a buyout 收购 of OANN for $US250 million. Author Michael Wolff made similar assertions in his book Fire and Fury, writing that Trump planned to leverage his exposure in the 2016 race to launch a branded TV network. Now, the Vanity Fair source alleges, we're seeing the same thing play out. If not to outright own a network, then at least have a presence on it. "Trump's big thing was always to own a network and be a multibillionaire," they said.
