CNN, MSNBC Ignoring Trump

[kpete]

Tapper: We're not carrying his remarks live because frankly he says a lot of things that are not true and sometimes potentially dangerous.

18. C-Span is political porn

[enough]

4. "hurts our network?" How bout hurts our country?

[Deuxcents]

8. One step at a time, I guess. But.. I do agree with you.

[spooky3]

9. my guess is that the MSNBC lawyers suggested that wording nt

[Hekate]

5. Smart move

[Mr.Bill]

7. Would have been smarter

about eight years ago.

13. yep

and investigations leading to indictments years before that

6. Good!

Absolutely, Trump’s lies are NOT news.

[WmChris]

10. Agreed

But they should be fact checked real time every time he and all the serial liers speak. Allowing bullshit to go unchallenged is criminal. Along with asking a question and allowing the BS artists to just run with their talking points and totally ignore the question they were asked.

11. Amazing! CNN did something right.

12. I'm glad to hear that CNN and MSNBC are taking a professional approach to coverage of a

serial liar and demagogue who entreats his followers to take violent action against the government. The media have a duty to present "both sides" when the sides are operating within the framework of civil democratic discourse. Otherwise, they need two stick to the facts, and only the facts, ma'am.

15. Rachel Maddow on MSNBC:

There is a cost to airing 'untrue things': Maddow on deferring coverage of Trump speech - Rachel Maddow

Rachel Maddow alerts viewers that newly indicted ex-president Donald Trump has begun an address to supporters at his Bedminster golf club but in light of the expectation that the speech will be a "litany of lies and false accusations" MSNBC will not broadcast the speech live but will instead report any news that comes from it. - Aired on 06/13/2023.

17. It's always been tfg's clandestine way to use the various networks for free campaign advertisements.

Even here, at DU, every time he sneezes and we comment on it he gets a signal boost.

Isn't it extremely short sighted of us to metaphorically jump every time there's a sneeze? Don't we have better things to do?

I pray for the day he's dead.

Then I'll keep praying until he's irrelevant. I hope I live that long.

Thanks for sharing this, kpete.

19. Welcome (back?) to the fight

Is CNN unTrumpifying?

They already have two strikes, I give them no slack. But give credit where credit is due, that’s part of being liberal.

[FemDemERA]

20. About Flippin' Time...

Hope they keep it up. They should never carry him live. Well, unless he’s being let away in handcuffs or being put in a cell, and then I kind of want to watch it.

[calimary]

23. At Long Last!!!

MAN, it's bren a long time coming.

THANK YOU Jake Tapper and Rachel Maddox and colleagues - on both networks! Hopefully that's contagious. Maybe if some of us write to the other networks - yes, even Pox Noise - then they, too, will do that. All he wants is the free publicity. And that is what has to stop immediately.
