Trump Loses Control of the Story

Margaret Sullivan: “Donald Trump’s presidency would have been impossible without his reality-TV fame from NBC’s The Apprentice.And he is skilled at dominating the visual medium that still matters so much — even in our digital age — from his raucous rallies to his impromptu media gaggles outside a whirring helicopter to his symbiotic relationship with Fox News.”

“But not this week.”

“In a tectonic shift of media attention, every major television network — broadcast and cable alike — focused on a deeply damaging story that Trump can’t control.”
