Of course they're going to cover a feud between Trump and DeSantis.  There is no grand political strategy here, at least not by the media. The media wants eyeballs so they can sell ads.  Maybe Trump has a grand strategy.  The media doesn't.  If you don't like what they're covering, change the channel.

I don't. I don't even have to change the channel. I just don't tune in at all. I prefer independent writers, critical thinkers and grassroots journalism over anything FOX, CNN, CBS and NBC have to dish out politically and economically. Almost all of them have their hands in the cookie jar. And by cookie jar I mean the powers that be. The powers that fund and persuade our political parties and candidates for their own wants and needs. 

The media always has a strategy though. Don't [BLEEP] yourself. Some of the media out there has had it's viewership and rankings tank in some instances and yet they're still pushing the same dribble and agenda. There's been plenty of evidence to support this. Both, politically and during war times. All the worlds a stage. Goes far beyond "selling ads" once you find out the Government and CIA have their own little plants inside this field of work.
