I have found that my local news stations don't cover that idiot's pressers any more so that's what I watch instead - I have been hoping that my fav cable stations of MSNBC and CNN would just stop covering them altogether.

I've been switching right over to the local news, and leaving it on until Rachel's show starts.

They stay through all the questions to the IDIOT after the experts finish.

So far as I'm concerned, it's all a propaganda fest.

long drawn out daily campaign ads free of charge....... complete with testimonials of his outstanding job of handling it (despite the damage to the system that Obama did), mixed in with his breathless self aggrandizing comments and praising his own infinite qualifications and un-rivaled scientific knowledge......

Just not broadcasting any of it, or Substituting Cuomo's daily review, or Colorado's Polis's daily discussion........

The Trump followers won't know any difference, they are all glued to Fox 24/7.......besides, the Trumphumpers will see the best clips of Trump that day, over and over again on fox news........

Plays all of him. His team knows that by moving the briefings to close to "local news times"; 4,5,6 they will carry his entire lie packed "update". Contact your local stations and let them know if you don't want to have them cover his lies and political rally "press conference" under the guise of a virus update. Better yet contact the advertisers; usually local car dealerships. It's easy to call them and all have twitter accounts and easy to find email addresses.

day that I can possibly think of, and he never says anything new or even cogent. I know the networks feel that this clown is a ratings dynamo, but it's nothing short of journalistic malpractice to allow him to lie, mislead and misinform a terrified public, at a time when thousands are dead and dying.
