Trump invited the press to a 'media availability' slot at Mar-a-Lago

Not a single cable news network covered it.

Former President Donald Trump invited journalists to a surprise slot of "media availability" at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on New Year's Eve.

But in a likely blow to Trump's ego, not a single cable news network covered it, according to Raw Story.

Notably, the media outlet said that even Fox News and Newsmax, which have historically offered sympathetic coverage of the former president, skipped on covering his remarks.

Maybe, just maybe the networks are getting it. Trump is as vile as they come and a majority in this country are sick of him. Now, let's see if we can, with the help of the DOJ, deposit this turd in prison for his crimes.

In another snip here, I read they were the only outlets there.
But, since nobody actually watches those outfits, it doesn't matter if they covered. (I looked up OAN and found their average daily viewership is 35,000 cumulative. Yeah, nobody is really watching)

by the media and his political party. Now he is passe and not worth covering, at least not until his indictment and trial. They will all be there for that.

Remember how TFG loved to put down some newspapers and TV stations as "failing" and "low ratings?" So now he is the failing, low ratings candidate.

I love it.

It's likely somewhat humiliating for them if people notice that she's not wearing spanx. Or maybe she is!

I can't get over her spending $90,000 taxpayer dollars on a hotel room/spa in Cairo just to change clothes for her fashion shoot. A two hour stay. $90,000.

They would still loooooove him to be THEIR President again and just know this would be another embarrassing childish whiny tantrum.

If some event or huge scandal happened to Joe or Democrats, Garland got cold feet, or an unrecoverable mistake by Desantis, and Trump became more of a force again they’d be covering him 24/7
