Networks Ignore Trump Florida Rally As He Brags About The Number of Cameras Present
Every network but Fox News refused to cover his Florida rally, but Trump is so detached from reality that he thinks that the TV networks cant get enough of him.
Video @ link (but why bother?):
It is important to point out that the television networks have had more than enough of Trumps rallies. Every network with the exception of Fox News, no longer covers his rallies live. The percentage of live coverage that Trumps rallies have been getting has been steadily decreasing, as there has been a growing consensus among journalists and newsrooms that the presidents rallies arent newsworthy.
Trump said it best himself. It is the same thing every night, which is why the networks outside of state-run TV Fox News have stopped broadcasting them. Trumps rallies are the same greatest hits package of fake news, build the wall, lies about Democrats, immigrant bashing, and attacks related to the Russia investigation that everyone has heard one hundred times or more.
Donald Trump has nothing new to say. His rallies are extended ranting sessions that are never newsworthy in their entirety. Networks monitor Trumps rallies in case he says something worth reporting, but Trumps claim that the television networks cant enough is another delusion from the mind of a man who has never really left the 2016 election behind.

(82,849 posts)Looks like the popular media have decided to finally and at last quit covering this garbanzo live. If something newsworthy happens, report it later with the tape. If nothing happens - and it always does - spend time covering some real news.

About 6 months ago MSNBC and CNN showed his rallies to support his nut job, Far Right, Christian candidates in special elections non-stop. I was IRATE...I will never forgive them for giving this Fucking Moron free, unending air time during the 2016 elections while they gave Hillary a nano second to discuss her policies. For ratings and $$$$$ they all showed an empty stage and podium waiting for their ratings GOD to appear on stage. They are as guilty of the destruction of our country as much as Facebook's Fuckerberg and Putin and the Corporate GOP. I posted on DU the phone numbers to call and complain. I don't know how many did but they are not showing his personal shitshow tonight so that is a small plus.

Your base is eroding daily and you are too stupid and arrogant to even notice. I can't wait to see you behind bars.
