CNN prefers Stormy Daniel’s lawyer.

I don't care what Trump is barking today, yesterday, or tomorrow. That's what he does. He's a barker. And he lies a lot. A very, very lot. So who cares? Not me.
I care about what Trump does.
When Trump does something, let me know.

Why would the non-cultists watch Dear Leader peddle his religion? They wouldn’t. And for that reason, expecting for profit news station to broadcast something the people won’t watch is anti-capitalist. It’s actually socialist. I thought Fox “News” was anti-socialist. I guess it’s in words only.

So, if they show the speech and comment, they are criticized, and if they don't they are criticized ?

Typical MSM one-sided political narrative.

I'm sure some residents of the USSR wore T-shirts that said I love Pravda. Fox is prolefeed.

Why should any network cover a weak leader's desperate pleas for unthinking approval? It's a campaign rally scheduled when there's no election to campaign for. It's not news. Trump's hateful policies toward immigrant children are still news, though. Like the sexual assault allegations coming out of his concentration camps, reports of guards drugging children against their will, staffers with child porn convictions, guards beating children while they're handcuffed, and how even though his administration has superficially retreated from their policy, they have no plans to actually reunite any of the children they've stolen from their rightful parents.
Trump has traumatized roughly 2300 children in the last month or so. According to the American Psychiatric Association, this kind of trauma to a child can last their whole life. Trump doesn't care, and wants his cult to be angry about how not enough people are thinking about how he feels.

They dont want to show it, but soon as its over they have articles negatively "fact checking" it and complaining about what was said. They dont want their viewers to see what is actually said before they have a chance to twist and shape it to the narrative.
But to be fair, no one who watches those channels wants to hear it direct from Trump they just want the media talking points later. Anyone who cares to see it live can just watch it on Fox, not a big deal.

Um yeah. Exactly.
My god, the right is now criticizing the media for being media, criticizing reporters for reporting.

My point is simply if there is a live event of significance, it should be shown on the "news" channels.
Not ignored and then a narrative with partisan talking points prepared afterwards. If you are going to ignore it as news, then ignore it. Prime example is that ABC news reported that Trump said at the rally "gonna them the hell out" as related to immigrants.
Once again, the context was Nancy Pelosi's favorite MS-13 but ABC failed to mention that. As they didnt carrry it live, their viewers wouldnt know they are being misled, again.

More tongue-flapping, bobble-headed nonsense from one side of the Punch and Judy show.
Trump would arguably be better off just reading the National Enquirer for his news rather than sitting on his potty watching this crap and tweeting what he sees.
Strangerland
Well then it's a good thing the right spends so much time watching CNN, or they might collapse!

Why should they care?! When Trump speaks, it's not even a speech. It's more like listening to a campaign speech aimed at pumping up half of the country (his base) while insulting the other half.
Thus, the other networks have got it right...his speeches are mostly BS.
Strangerland
They just don't get this point, do they. It's the whole Philadelphia Eagles thing all over.

Well here's the latest from the "we wont show it but we will snark and mock it after" article.

Well, heck, CNN, MSNBC, and the other lamestream broadcasters sure don't want to broadcast thousands of people cheering the president!

I'm so glad we dropped paid TV 8 yrs ago. Seeing lots of idiots on the tube isn't exactly the best humans have to offer. That goes for every channel, BTW.
