Before the 2024 U.S. election, I wrote an article predicting Trump's victory, joking that the global mainstream media's heyday would return, as he would inevitably provide daily news, major stories every three days, and sensational headlines every five days. Five weeks into Trump's 2.0 administration, the reality has far exceeded expectations, with almost daily bombshells dominating the headlines, leaving journalists and editors exhausted, struggling to keep up, yet unable to ignore the developments. Compared to Trump 1.0, he is more aggressive, delivering a barrage of heavy and wild punches. The "old hands" may not be knocked out, but they are at least half-scared, with the force of the backlash rebounding on themselves.
美國2024年大選前,筆者撰文預言川普勝選,同時調侃全球主串流媒體的春天又來了,因爲他必然每天有新料、三天一大料、五天一猛料。川普2.0執政五週,事實遠超預期,幾乎天天有猛料、天天霸頭條,記者和編輯累壞了,來不及跟啊,不跟又不行。相位元朗普1.0更橫蠻,重拳亂拳迭出,「老師傅」們沒有被打死,至少嚇個半死,同時勁力反彈自身。
