#FLIP MASTER HACKED TV#
A study we conducted in December found that 54 percent of newspaper stories about the Republican candidates were about Trump, not that far from his share of TV coverage. There’s a perception that Trump has dominated television coverage more than coverage in print or digital media outlets, but it’s not clear that’s true. By contrast, Trump’s Republican rivals combined have received slightly less than $1.2 billion worth of television coverage, meaning that Trump has been the subject of the clear majority (62 percent) of candidate-focused TV coverage of the Republican race. According to The New York Times, Trump has received the equivalent of $1.9 billion in television coverage while having spent only $10 million on paid advertising.
From the start, he’s been a media phenomenon.
Sunday marked the 286th day of Trump’s campaign, which began June 16. Trump has dominated the news, but that’s not the whole story. The media has almost always played along.īut that isn’t the only problem we found. The Christie endorsement, it turns out, is emblematic of a larger pattern: Trump has been able to disrupt the news pretty much any time he wants, whether by being newsworthy, offensive, salacious or entertaining. So I scoured through more than nine months of headlines since Trump’s presidential bid began. By noon the next day, it was just one of a mishmash of headlines about the Republican campaign there were others about the ongoing battle between Trump and the Republican “establishment,” and even one about how a pair of women who backed Trump on social media had accused Rubio of having a “gay lifestyle.” It was mission accomplished for Trump, however, who had changed the news cycle on his whim and prevented Rubio from sustaining any momentum of his own.įor all the recent debate about what responsibility the media bears for Trump’s rise to the top of the Republican Party’s nomination race, there hasn’t been a lot of evidence presented on how the media has actually covered the campaign. The irony is that for such a “ game-changing” event, Christie’s endorsement of Trump had a relatively short shelf life as the top news story. The case against: The endorsement was somewhat predictable based on Christie’s previous behavior toward Trump, and few of the hundreds of endorsements made during the campaign earn breaking-news chyrons. Was Christie’s endorsement really so momentous that it required wall-to-wall coverage? You can make a case that it was: Christie was the first sitting governor and the most mainstream Republican to have endorsed Trump to that point. I remember getting into some arguments with my colleagues that afternoon. Once Christie, who’d been flown to Trump’s event in Texas surreptitiously, delivered his endorsement late that afternoon, Rubio was swept off the front pages and relegated to sideshow status. By midday, however, there were rumors and reports that Trump would be endorsed by New Jersey Gov. In the morning, the media chatter was about Marco Rubio’s seemingly strong debate in Houston the previous evening in which he’d confronted Trump. Last year, the Conti ransomware group got a taste of their own cyber-medicine when their playbook, chat sessions, and other critical information ended up on the dark web.Donald Trump took over the news cycle on Feb. Tales of bad actors doing their worst fill the InfoSec news cycle, but what happens when the hackers get hacked? Ransomware strikes organizations almost every two seconds.
