Democrats Urged to Embrace Trump’s Media Tactics
Clear Facts
- Michael LaRosa, a former aide to Joe Biden, highlighted the contrast between how Democrats and Donald Trump handle media interactions.
- LaRosa suggested that Democrats should adopt Trump’s proactive approach to engaging with the press.
- Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer criticized Democrats for expecting media compliance and not tolerating scrutiny.
In a recent discussion, Michael LaRosa, who once served as an aide to President Joe Biden, pointed out a significant difference in media strategies between Democrats and Donald Trump.
According to LaRosa, Trump possesses a keen understanding of the media landscape that Democrats seem to lack.
During the discussion, the Biden campaign’s strategy of tightly controlling media coverage, including restricting journalists’ access and limiting phone usage at events, was questioned.
Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary, expressed his view that Democrats expect the press to align with them ideologically and struggle with media scrutiny.
He stated, “They expect the press to work for them… they expect the press to fall in line.”
Fleischer further explained that Republicans anticipate challenging media coverage and do not expect loyalty from the press, unlike their Democratic counterparts.
He remarked, “Republicans understand we’re gonna get a hard time from the press no matter what… we don’t have to worry about the press betraying us [the way] that Democrats do.”
LaRosa concurred with Fleischer’s assessment, suggesting that Democrats should learn from Trump’s approach to media engagement.
He noted, “Trump doesn’t miss the opportunity to speak to a microphone. He engages, and he’s proactive.”
LaRosa emphasized that Democrats need to shift their perspective on media relations, treating the press as an opportunity rather than a hazard.
He argued that voters desire authenticity, which is difficult to convey without engaging in unscripted environments.
Both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have notably avoided traditional press interactions, with Biden not holding a press conference in 2023.

I do not trust The democrats media press like many US citizens, Most people won’t follow any emergency directions do to the so called covid emergencies, or believe any so called political propaganda actions such as the califoria Governer and mayor behavior toward the fire emergenies preperations that did not happen to stop or help the people in Los Angeles which devasted the population losing homes and lives in the communities. We know it was planned. The Mayor of Los Angeles and govenor of California should be put in prison for plans that were not put in place to protect Los Angeles city and county.

It would be hard for the Dems to adopt Trump’s attitude when dealing with the press. Since the MSM has been shielding the DEMs for decades against
all opposing views thru censorship and outright lies, the mindset of all established Dems is just “business as usual”. The left just “doesn’t get it”

The demonRATS have had a complicit media in their pockets for many decades. One does not find many if any conservative anchors or reports or news script readers in the MSM. Because of this complicity much of the news coverage is slanted left. Much is fabricated to align with the dishonest liberal narrative. Luckily the public has become more and more aware of MSM lies. This is seen in the low approval ratings of this biggest liers CNN, MSNBC, ABC and even CBS, also known as the demonRAT propaganda press.
