My wife noticed a big drop in TFGs picture and mentions on CNN

I checked twitter today and noticed the same thing. Personally I think the news agencies have been warned he will be indicted shortly and are backing off. Thoughts?

1. What would the two have to do with one another?

If you buy in to the "CNN is sucking up to Trump and the GOP" nonsense, then an indictment makes him a victim of the deep state; you wouldn't pull away from him now.

5. With you on that one........

Doesn't make any sense - you don't 'dump' your new 'hero'..........

2. MSNBC has still been reporting on Trump and his crimes plenty.

If CNN, in particular, has stopped doing it, well, that's just yet another piece of evidence of their rightward shift...

And, no, I highly doubt any of them would have been warned that an indictment is coming, although they could be reading the tea leaves like anyone else; having said that, if an indictment were coming, you would think an unbiased news organization that wants to portray itself as neutral would be reporting MORE on the subject, not less...

3. CNN,Twitter snf other such things respond to eyeballs. If...

interest in orange assholes drips, coverage will too.

4. It's likely CNN's efforts to not be perceived as 'liberal.'

And to avoid accusations that the network is ‘liberal biased.’

6. I thought a lot of DUers were complaining about the media paying too much attention to Trump.

7. The more Trump is in the news the worse it is the Republicans in the midterm

10. Yes, and then when the media

reduces coverage, he'll ratchet up the hate speech and right wing pipe dreams to get them to cover him more. He hates being ignored.

11. Plus he only cares about elections as it relates to him. He has no love for the party

8. 'news agencies have been warned' doubt it,

rather dramatic imo.

9. It's better for Repuke brand heading into midterms if he's in the news less.

So that's what CNN will do. Having a Repuke controlled House would be good for their business. Anxiety. Dysfunction. Conflict. Catastrophe. Chaos. That what they want, that's what they enable.

Corporate news/media doesn't give two shits about anything but money -- and short term money at that.

13. I hear you loud and clear.

He has been a cash cow for years. Maybe not so much going forward, I hope.

12. Nah

They are setting up to get behind DeSatan.
