Before you do, let me clarify something. Because I think I know where you're going with this.

Publicity just means getting attention from the media. It has nothing to do with a negative (or positive) perception of the person, nor negative (or positive) consequences that might come from the publicity.

I'm no more dependent on the government that you are, which is quite a bit.

But that won't stop you from projecting the way you wish the world was on here, rather than how it actually is, nor will it stop you from making baseless and absurd statements about me and anyone else you don't agree with.

Either it will boil over into a civil war or people will realize their vitriol toward each other and begin to show restraint and understanding. Liberal and conservative extremist are to blame. Political correctness is also to blame.

I am starting to think a civil war would be mildly cathartic so long as the media caste was permanently sent packing to France.

Democratic Staffers Booed Trump At ‘Unity’ Congressional Baseball Game



A time of unity? For libs? Yea, right.....

Quote:So much for defanging the poisonous debate in Washington.

Dozens of congressional staffers erupted into boos, jeers and even vulgar gesticulations Thursday when President Trump appeared in a video at the Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park.

Mr. Trump delivered a message of unity, but some fans in the stands weren’t having any of it.

One man shouted an expletive at the video screen as Mr. Trump was telling the fans: “We are showing the world we will not be intimidated by threats.”

The episode marred what had been a night celebrating those wounded in Wednesday’s murderous attack on GOP players practicing for the game.

Well, I think it goes without saying that Trump's election has been more than a little cathartic for some people ...

You would think there would be video or more than one source reporting this, probably fake.

Washington Times...... fake news

Bad publicity is publicity that causes you a negative consequence. Businesses shutting down, people cancelling deals with you etc...

FTR, the example I had in mind was macaca

I think we're having a semantical argument.

What you're talking about are negative consequences that result from publicity.

Publicity - the notice or attention given to someone or something by the media.
