...where news channels would leave a camera trained on an empty podium for as much as 30-40 minutes just in anticipation of Trump delivering a rally speech... even before he became the frontrunner.

All they trained their cameras on was tRump. They might have initially done it because it was like a bad car wreck .... people kept gawking, not believing how bad it was. Well, we're reaping what they sowed. It sucks.

We discussed it extensively, in real time, here on DU. No other candidate received that type of treatment. Coincidentally, her sister/campaign manager works at MSNBC

was a Bloomberg ad. I have not seen anything before that - granted, I don't watch a ton of live TV, but nothing from Biden, Warren, Sanders, Steyer.

I've seen ads on Twitter and YouTube, but nothing actually live on TV
