The media are continuing their codependent obsession with Donald Trump by focusing, in this week’s edition of media-fueled Trumpmania, on comments he made regarding Muslims. You can look anywhere for evidence of this, but the first five Google hits for Donald Trump + Muslims are a good indication:

• Donald Trump’s Muslim Database Game – The New Yorker
• Donald Trump’s Views on the “Muslim Problem” – The Political Insider
• Five symbols Donald Trump could use to identify the Muslims – QZ
• First, Donald Trump Came for the Muslims – The Daily Beast
• Donald Trump Sets Off a Furor With Call to Register Muslims – The New York Times

And on and on and on it goes. I get it. Trump is good for traffic. It’s fun to write outraged pieces about him! The media seem to have no limit for their love of covering everything he says. I was trying to find out what exactly he’d said that had the media in such a tizzy and landed on an article headlined “The 7 Most Ridiculous Things Donald Trump Has Said In The Last 2 Weeks.” It was published in 2011. So forgive me if I opt out of this round of groupthink outrage on The Donald.
