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.

P.S. Of course, Donnie has NO friends - users, takers, enablers, sycophants but no actual friends.
Justice matters.

Now that upcoming -$1,600,000,000 will eat all his 7-year earnings in his books

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)

no Bill Barr running interference, absolving him of his crimes..no cable news hanging on his every vomitus verbal fart...his invites are ignored, his threats are empty, his weekend warriors are in prison (or soon to be), his fourth tier lawyers are facing sanctions/disbarment, and his inner circle of enablers are in DOJ crosshairs..he's flayed, exposed, and politically impotent..watching Trump, a deranged, amoral, malignant narcissist, descend into irrelevancy in real time..now that's MUST SEE TV

(26,315 posts)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.

Looks more like a memorial service for some beloved family member. 😉
I wonder what the price tag was for such a rollicking good time? What a bunch of stuffed shirts, or maybe they were cardboard cut-outs, for all the action going on.

Wonder what it would take to stop ignoring him? Because it will happen.

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.

(14,728 posts)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
theyd be covering him 24/7
