"Trump, in collaboration with Freedom 250, the political group he launched to supplant the congressionally established organization overseeing the semiquincentennial, has turned America’s 250th birthday into a celebration of himself. After several musical acts originally slated to perform on Wednesday dropped out earlier this month in response to this politicization, Trump announced that he would be the night’s main attraction at what he termed “the Greatest Rally, EVER.” "

snip

"NBC News estimated attendance at “more than 1,000,” while The Washington Post reported that “the crowd thinly covered an area about the length of the National Museum of American History, smaller than some summer outdoor movie screenings.”

The Post further reported that the president “did not appear to enjoy the speech” and “wrapped in under a half-hour,” adding:

He asked for a bigger turnout for his next appearance on July 4."

He ain't too proud to beg.

googletube or xitter or some other high-bandwidth oligarch playground, I can usually find a text source within seconds of searching with Startpage (a non-google, non-AI source)

Text is information-rich with a high info to noise ratio. Video is the reverse. Video wastes gigabytes of irrelevant data to convey points which can be read in seconds. And it wastes my time. Life is too short for googletube.

Video and stills are appropriate when the image itself conveys the point, like with many of the Vietnam War images that taught the ruling class to control the press.

I can read as slow or as fast as I like and skim over parts that don't interest me. I usually don't have the patience to sit here while someone else drags the story out often with a lot of filler. Also, I don't need the noise.

There are videos of events or certain interviews that I may want to watch or some that provide visuals that are helpful, but mostly I find them annoying and ever so time consuming. Plus when I read, I am using my brain rather than just being an unengaged receiver.

make me want to puke.
"BOMBSHELL!!!!!"
"OBLITERATED!!!!!"

googletube is a comic book world designed to waste our time for money

"unengaged receiver"
TV puts us in a position of being hypnotized propaganda receivers.
Media like text makes us use our brains.
I blame Trump on television.

What's scary? There is no reading matter in waiting rooms anymore. Everybody sits with a blank expression, jaw hanging open, staring at the crap on the wall tv. Ray Bradbury, eat your heart out.

I particularly hate those stupid yellow arrows, they are an immediate turnoff as I know what's coming.

We're living in a time where everyday brings very real and horrifying headlines, I don't need Enquirer style tabloid ones that usually turn out to be clickbait.
