Completing the Transition -- Journalist to Social Influencer.


Sam Donaldson
Today’s example of completing the transition from a neutral media journalist to a social influencer is Sam Donaldson, ABC.  Sam, along with many of his old peers, has completely shrugged off the idea of reporting actual events as they teach their prodigies how to report and has now gone all-in for Bloomberg who I assume he sees as the Democratic savior for the nation.
I guess we’ll see how that goes, but I’m not sure Sam is anymore in touch with those in the heartland who love the energy of Trump in reviving the economy and addressing their concerns about the survival of the nation then is Michael “he’s more scared than a cat in a dog pond” Bloomberg. 
Just who does Sam think he will persuade?  Millennials?  Other reporters?  The minorities in the inner cities?  The farmers in Nebraska or the ranchers in Montana?
I’m not seeing an overwhelming legion of Sam Donaldson faithful, but then every endorsement Bloomberg can buy is one more Bernie won’t.
