    You said it was exactly the same. That’s just wrong. It’s so much worse, and we need to be talking about this.

    That’s why I’m speaking to you the way that I am. I don’t know if you live in the US, but this is extremely important for me, as I do. And when someone comes in and says, “this is the exact same thing he did last time, why is the media reporting on it,” then I feel compelled to shut that down.

    It’s not the same, and the media needs to be reporting on it.

      and says, “this is the exact same thing he did last time, why is the media reporting on it,”

      They said “why is the media pretending this was new”, not “Why are they reporting on this”.

      These are very different statements. You are suggesting they said the media shouldn’t bother reporting on it. What they actually said was that it should be pointed out that there are many repeats, and shouldn’t be treated as though its happening for the first time.

      I think that is the root of the misunderstanding here.
