BREAKING NEWS: Steve Bannon is a McLuhanite

It may only be breaking news to this author, but to me, the knowledge that Steve Bannon was a McLuhanite, explains EVERYTHING about Donald Trump's 2016 victory.

Today, just today, a pal sent me an excerpt from PBS, where Steve Bannon talks McLuhan in relation to Trump's mastery.

This is an exciting moment for me. It just confirms and validates so much. And it is the Eureka Moment that has spawned the first McLuhan's Window Podcast.

It's the final piece of something I have known and been blathering about for years. In the podcast I reference a piece I submitted to the Wall Street Journal (maybe next time, buddy!) about Trump's McLuhanesque chicanery, complete with specific Trump techniques to prove it.

In fact, the rise and fall of Trump's media prowess may well be echoed in the rise and fall of his closeness with Steve Bannon.
