A modest suggestion for the banned news agencies

[krispos42]

Until such time as the ban is lifted, those affected organizations (at this time, CNN, the New York Times, BuzzFeed, and Politico) should do the following:

In pictures and video that contains, ahem, "him", the face of the Invisible Man should be placed over his face. Something like this face from this picture:



It does not have to be done well, simply done, like in some segments of America's Funniest Videos when they would edit static stills of host Tom Bergeron over other people's faces and just move the still to keep the original face covered.


The name of "him" should be replaced in all instances with "^^^^^", or five carets, in honor of his carrot-y goodness. In headlines, in the bylines, in the bodies of stories, and on the chyrons of videos.

In voice reporting, his last name should be reported as "caret", as in "President Caret arrived at CPAC today and delivered a scathing speech..."

The chyron would read "President ^^^^^ speaks at CPAC"


Thank you.

1. I like the idea but it won't work.

I remember the times when British broadcasters were banned from broadcasting the voices of Irish Republicans like Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness. The workaround was easy: someone else spoke their words.

The best thing in my opinion is to give as much coverage to the US President the same amount of coverage that is given to events in Valletta (Malta).

2. Not a good example

In my suggestion, it would be the media outlet doing the censoring while reporting on ^^^^^, not the government.

This would deny the narcissist the attention he craves while still reporting on his activities.
