For those who can't watch right now. Photographers were allowed to go on the hotel tour, but an ABC editorial journalist was "restrained" and not allowed on the tour. Network bureau chiefs got together and agreed not to publish any of the pictures, though a couple have been tweeted out. Like the Made in China bathrobe.
Not sure how many media outlets signed on to this. We shall see.

The network chiefs were knowingly going to air a cynical, free, fucking commercial. Their reacting to Trump 's insult to their own importance by refusing to put his commercial on TV is hardly an act of principle.
It would be nice if they could manage to get their backs up over Trump's treatment of the rest of us!
