The MSM Should Ignore Tulsa Tonight....

What would be Trump's worse nightmare is that the MSM ignore his intended rally tonight and not televise it and give him the free stage for this fiasco.

What happens in Tulsa tonight should stay in Tulsa and that includes the potential for Covid spread and Trump's lie's. He would actually be beside himself if he didn't get any coverage of this rally. We all know that he's doing this for show because he knows the MSM can't for a minute take the focus off of him.

Whatever comes of this day - and I mean Trump's rally; his lies; his deplorables showing off to the world; the lack of social distancing; the not wearing of masks; the counter-protesting; the National Guard; and any violence that it just seems like the MSM is hoping breaks out - I will blame on the MSM for giving this day and these events coverage and air time. I will hold the MSM directly responsible for any and all after effects of this day.

In my opinion - the MSM is responsible for getting Trump elected in the first place and they have the enablers for all of Trump's words, actions, deeds and tweets since he's been elected. Trump has taken advantage of the MSM for too long now.

It's time the MSM ignore this criminal and his followers and focus on letting America recover its dignity and place in the world.

1. They should report on it but only in covid-19 outbreak terms.

Don't cover what he said. He's not going to say anything newsworthy anyway. It's not news he's a liar, it's not news he's a racist. Stop giving airtime to things of no journalistic value.

But it is important that he gathered a big crowd together knowing that it will infect many of them, who will then go back to their communities and spread it further.

and "The Secret Lives of Pets."

I can always go to the sub channels for some old TV shows and Westerns as well. There are infomercials, too.

Many won't.

I'm not watching, but believe exposure will work against trump with the 60+% of people who don't love the A-hole.
