(6,974 posts)They MUST have enough folks watching, or they'd not carry anything that fat turd does and says.
People are going to have to completely stop listening to him. Giving him a platform. I guess that's NOT going to happen unfortunately, as enough folks watch him so they feel obliged to cover him.

(82,849 posts)That resolve didn't last very long. Are they hoping for a meltdown on stage or something? CNN and MSNBC: Just say no. Don't carry his events live, because the possibility that something newsworthy will happen is on a par with the Titanic pulling in to New York Harbor this afternoon.
If by some dark miracle something newsworthy happens, you can cut in to your reporting. Otherwise, your coverage can be, "President Trump staged another of his never-ending self-congratulatory rallies today. Now here's Bill with the financial report."
