It’s cold and he’s been speaking 90 minutes.
This about sums it up. They’re all still going to vote for him. They know he’s a rambling senior citizen without scruples or even a plan, and they will support him regardless because they are as stupid as he is.
Yeah seriously. As much as I would love to think his fans were walking out on him, that is not the case.
Are there no ethical standards for journalism?
The article states pretty explicitly that this is not unusual. Twice. That line they quoted is a direct line from the article:
Trump is still speaking in Wildwood but much of the crowd has left. It’s cold and he’s been speaking 90 minutes. This whole area was full of people when Trump started," Anderson wrote.
And again:
“You can clearly see that people are leaving while [Trump is] rambling incoherently,” Masterson wrote in another post. “This happens at a lot of rallies, cultists show up thinking he will say something new and profound. Then they get bored and walkout.”
The whole premise of the article is stated right up front. Trump claimed an audience of 100,000, but the evidence shows that audience didn’t hang around for him, undercutting the claim.
Feels like before you complain about journalism ethics you should at least commit to actually reading the articles so you know what you’re complaining about.
just wanted to add, according to the article the location can fit about 20000 people. 100000 lol - even the police lies less about crowd sizes at demonstrations, a factor of 5 is brazen.
I think the headline and first few sentences of the article are purposely misleading. They bank on their audiences only reading the headline or a portion of the article in order to make people jump to conclusions, instead of putting the conclusion or main point in the headline.
Be real; what is the first thing you think of when you read that headline? I think most people would assume people are walking out because he said or did something to make them walk out. Not because of the weather. It’s really news worthy that people left a rally because it was cold? C’mon now.
Yes- it’s on audiences to critically think about what they read, but journalism like this certainly doesn’t help. And they know this.
Obviously subjective, but to me that is unethical journalism.

There’s no profit in ethical standards.

Are you just getting caught up? This ship sadly sailed a while ago. More importantly, Newsweek got you to click, so from their perspective the job is done.
it’s newsweek.
The point of the article is to challenge Trump’s claims about the audience size during his speech, not to suggest he’s losing support. Mostly just to catch him in more lies.
Waste of energy. He’s been lying about his popularity for quite a long time now.
Both the headline and the first sentence imply that people are walking out on Trump while he’s speaking, as though that is a significant, coordinated event. The overestimated crowd figures are a secondary point in the article, probably because that also isn’t news. Future biographers and historians will have “Trump exaggerated the size of [something]” as autocomplete.
Or, they are as hate-filled as he is. Or both…

They definitely didn’t plan walking out. It’s hard to keep a secret even with intelligent people and these folk are dumb as rocks. Doesn’t change anything, people should vote anyway; it always matters.
Yes, please, go vote. This election is a great opportunity to win a landslide victory and shift American politics further left.
1:25, calls OJ Simpson a great guy.
Doesn’t he know that his most loyal followers are racist? That’s a demographic awareness issue on his part.
Based on his Hannibal Lecter comments, I think he’s more afraid of losing the mass murderer demographic.
That is absolutely a possibility, considering how that man’s brain works.
I imagine his brain works like paparazzi photos. Pop pop flash flash, blinding light, screaming, pop pop!
That’s the Provigil working.
Or the cannibal vote…
They don’t care. They are lazy cowards who will give up everyone’s rights for a false sense of safety. Trump can say whatever he wants because they don’t take anything he says seriously. The more active among them are convinced that Trump is a “tool” to get what they want. Little do they know they are the ones being used.

Thats how it is for most of humanity, from Hitler, through Putin, to Trump, same playbook to appeal to the 80%
“Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut
They hate women more than they hate black people

Yes, 55 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump. No, I’m Not Surprised.
It’s time to stop coddling white women when they bolster white supremacy, and to push for concrete acts of solidarity
OJ Simpson isn’t black. He’s a white black man. He’s the black guy the white people love. He’s not a N… if you catch my drift.
Apparently playing football and murdering your wife is the key to the racist heart.
A black man that murdered a white woman is being praised by Trump and his supporters. I guess it shows that they’ll praise anything he tells them to. Or it shows that they hate women more than they hate black people
I think it’s the latter.
Two t’s
Right
White women are his majority

Whatever he’s saying resonates with them
It’s time to stop coddling white women when they bolster white supremacy, and to push for concrete acts of solidarity
According to exit polls
Well he murdered a white woman who was known to sleep with a black man, so racist box checked
Jesus just listening to him ramble nonsense makes me want to shoot myself in the head. What a fucking retard
I highly encourage you to listen to translations of Hitler’s rallies, because they’re the same kind of nonsense.
Yup, nazis were fuckin idiots too.
Hey excitingly new progressives who won’t vote - here’s one reason why you should. Because not voting is what gets you nazis.
retard
I mean, you’d probably find a substantial number of people at that rally that still think it’s ok to use this word in 2024.
I would never call a retarded person a retard. Just regular people who are acting like retards
He keeps railing against immigrants, yet also keeps marrying them.
He doesn’t mean white immigrants. He means the, uh, BAD ones.
How do people stand to listen to this moron? He rambles on and on about nonsense, pulling buzzwords and patronizing his followers.
His followers really are that stupid though.

There was a contest to win a dinner with Trump.
Somehow, none of his supporters ever actually got to visit him at the White House.
No one despises Trump’s people more than Donnie.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A video filmed during Donald Trump’s New Jersey rally on Saturday shows “thousands” of people leaving while the former president was still talking.
At one point just a few minutes into Masterson’s video, a rally attendee is seen telling him that the time is 6:48 p.m. meaning many people were leaving before Trump was even halfway through his speech.
Many of Trump’s allies had bragged about the size of the crowd at the rally, suggesting it showed that he would undoubtedly defeat President Joe Biden in November’s election.
“The American people are energized and ready to reelect President Trump in November,” GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X.
Aliya Schneider, a reporter with The Philadelphia Inquirer, posted videos showing some attendees leaving the rally while Trump was still speaking.
Alongside another video, Schneider wrote: “The back section of the crowd is noticeably smaller as people continue to leave while Trump is still speaking.”
The original article contains 488 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 68%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
They were only paid for the first hour.
Oh, he doesn’t actually pay anyone.
