The press should not go along with Trump's fake news conferences again.

He stopped the prop-ag/campaign ads, "virus" updates, after he was mocked over the disinfectants and after the weather was warming up in April. He thought he could get back to his rallies.

His first rally was to be in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They got over a million requests for tickets and the Trump campaign bragged all over the place. They did not know they had been played by a bunch of Tik-Tok kids, until only 6000 cultists showed up at his Tulsa event. Trump was pissed off for a week. He demoted Brad Parscale, his campaign manager.

Then there were plans for another huge rally for him in New Hampshire and it was a total bust. The campaign canceled the event, due to the weather, they said. (The weather was good) So now, we are supposed to go back to Trump's propaganda campaign commercials, brought to you by the cable television networks.

Tune in tomorrow.

It's irresponsible to continue covering the ignoramus.

4. All media outlets need to stop helping trump spread his propaganda

By showing his making false claims after false claims as the truth. Reporters need to hold him accountable at once like Chris Wallace did, and stop giving him softball questions , many likely fed to them by trump and his people he uses to spread lies with. They should be pressing him on allowing putin to target and kill our service members, and his ties to G. Maxwell and Epstein connections , and how close he's been with her. Especially his failure with preventing the virus story. Don't let him control the narrative and news cycle anymore, or publicize his rally's.

After the first couple of days even Sinclair Broadcasting stations stopped carrying his conferences because their evening primetime news and ad revenue was being disrupted for no good reason and viewers weren't getting a favorable impression when he took over the conferences.
