Three top cable news networks cut away from Trump speech

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 03/29/18 03:19 PM EDT

The three top cable news networks all cut away from President Trump's speech in Ohio on Wednesday before it ended, prompting complaints from the White House.

The speech was set to focus on infrastructure but saw the president go off script to touch on other topics.

It started just after 2 p.m, but within 30 minutes of Trump taking the stage CNN and MSNBC cut away to discussions with analysts and to report other news. Fox News remained on the speech for about ten minutes longer, according to social media reports, before cutting away also.

Fox Business Network, which was also covering the speech, stayed with Trump for the duration of his remarks.

GOOD.

Fuck you Donald. You are human filth and deserve to have Karma strike you dead any second with a massive coronary attack. The sooner you die, the better the world becomes in a millisecond of your final waste of oxygen.

Godspeed Karma, godspeed.

I had it on the background, saw Trump walking on to the stage and grabbed the remote. Hell No, I'm tired of his horse and pony show, that don't feature horses or ponies.

that temple vein will start throbbing and he'll begin to question faux news and friends loyalty. The vein will throb more and by the time he's into the third scoop of ice cream, he'll be ranting at whoever is in the room.

I like that idea. I really do.
