Journalism Prof Claims Frequent News Coverage of Trump is Part of ‘Third Reich’ Strategy
“I am a longtime journalist and now scholar of journalism and race, trained to see the methods and aims behind political leaders’ press operations.”
Don’t you wish you could be in the room when someone says something like this, so you could point out that they’re insane?

Professor: Frequent news coverage of Trump is part of ‘Third Reich’ strategy
When President Donald Trump generates news stories, he is acting just like Adolf Hitler, according to a University of Colorado Boulder journalism professor.
Professor Angie Chuang said Trump’s “shifting policy positions” along with his “racially inflammatory statements and threats” create numerous news headlines, which are part of a darker, devious strategy according to the scholar. (Though if Chuang is writing a story herself about Trump, that presumably makes her complicit in Trump’s plan).
Chuang (pictured) recently shared her thoughts in The Conversation, a purportedly academic news website that leans heavily against Trump, and receives millions in dues from private and public universities, including CU-Boulder. She has previously called Trump a “racist.”
Chuang knocks Trump for initially saying he would send troops into San Francisco to quell crime and then reversing course after pushback from the city and “tech moguls.” Each new development creates a new story, which Chuang said is part of Trump’s Hitler-like plan to overload people with information.
She writes:
I am a longtime journalist and now scholar of journalism and race, trained to see the methods and aims behind political leaders’ press operations. And as I show in my forthcoming book, the Trump administration’s rhetorical strategies echo the playbooks of authoritarian and white supremacist organizations such as the Third Reich and some factions of the modern alt-right movement. They are intended to narrow the scope of who belongs as an American.
In her Conversation essay, Chuang spreads disinformation, repeating the debunked claim that in 2017 Trump said there “fine people” on “both sides” of a violent riot in Charlottesville, Va. As extensively documented, he was referring to protesters who wanted a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee taken down and those who wanted it to stay. Even left-wing Snopes confirmed this.
