While members of the media melt down over every little thing President Trump says or tweets, he distracts them from what he’s actually doing.

More than two years into his presidency, it should be clear that the press needs to rethink its anti-Trump strategy. When CNN dedicates an entire segment to Trump’s Twitter typos, and media liberals lose it over Trump’s jokes about running for a third term, it’s time for the media to refocus on the things that are really worth discussing.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi agrees.

In an interview with Richard Jewell actress Olivia Wilde published this week, the California Democrat slammed the press for empowering Trump, saying, “All they do is enable him, and that is really a sad thing.”

She continued: “I've said to many of my friends in the press, ‘You're accomplices, whether you want to be or not,’ [and they say,] ‘If he's saying it, then it's news.’ I don't think it's news, but it monopolizes the airwaves. So there is a lot of responsibility to go around in terms of the creation of whatever that is in the White House.”

Members of the media may defend their excessive coverage of Trump’s every move by invoking democracy or free speech or some higher ambition, but at the end of the day, they’re just trying to get more viewers. And their actions help the president.

“But he has a tactic,” Pelosi said, “one that is used by autocrats, which is, ‘Just as long as they're talking about me, no matter if it's bad, then you're not talking about my opponent.’”

She's right, and if the liberal media don't want to see Trump reelected in 2020, they should take Pelosi's advice.
