The reason Trump is doing his crazed rant at the RNC right now

is to distract form the DeJoy testimony.

And MSNBC took the bait, hook, line and sinker. CNN did not.

They covered the DNC, they kind of have to cover this too. I'm sure they are hating it.


The deJoy hearing is available online, TLP is covering the RNC debacle with commentary on utoob and other outlets.

and bullshit off the top of his head. CNN didn't. Fact check it and report the lies afterward.

Part of being the "free press" is no one dictates what is covered and how.
