Most Americans don’t trust the media to accurately and fairly cover the news. So it shouldn’t be surprising that people don’t want their political leaders’ thoughts filtered through the media.

And then pick and choose sound bites to report to form a narrative.

Right. A serious percentage of people think the only way the president can communicate is via Twitter and there’s been this right wing persecution complex building for a few years now that they believe they are constantly being censored. Despite the fact that right wing news and pundits get a lot more shares on social media. It’s all part of the weird twisted mass delusion that we find ourselves dealing with.
