Sure, Faux will cover every fart he emits, but does the rest of the media need to bcast his hate rallies? There is a point beyond which you are no longer covering the president. Youre giving more free air time to a racist spewing racist bile, just like you did in 2016.
While Im at it, I am getting a little tired of the media asking Ds what they are going to do to make this years election different from 2016. Excuse me? How about the media tell us what THEY are going to do differently in covering the election season? Are they going to drop their false equivalencies? Are they going to examine their current policies that give tRump billions of $ in free press coverage that is not reciprocated to D candidates because tRump is good for ratings? Are they going to finally report the obvious - that tRump is an illegitimate president who is only in the WH because the Russians DID change votes at ballot boxes?
Dont hold your breath.

(82,849 posts)But it appears that the 24 hour cable channels (always excepting Fox, of course) have decided not to cover the rallies live anymore. If there's something newsworthy, pull out the clip later and report on it. Otherwise, just note in passing, "President Trump held another of his interminable rallies designed to make himself feel good today. Now here's Matt with the Weekend Weather."
