CNN included. It's a different kind of President so they will remain puppets until they react differently to him on coverage.

Wouldn't the text of the speech be available to the media beforehand? Here's a tip for you going forward, Jake and CNN: When you don't get the prepared text ahead of time, the speech is going to be Trump's usual mixture of self-congratulation, name-calling, and race baiting.

It's not a difficult concept unless you want it to be.
