All I needed to know was in the (approx 20 second) synopsis.
How many hours (multiplied by all cable news outlets) of FREE CAMPAIGN FOOTAGE did Donald Trump receive?
I know it is historic. But other than the bald facts, what do you really need to know about it?
He showed up. He filed Not Guilty on All Charges. (we knew he would)
Did we really need to see (from 6 am on the West Coast) wall to wall coverage of that?
I didn't have the TV on all day, but just went upstairs and mom was watching David Muir on World News. I actually stopped to listen (it took 20 seconds to cover the relevant information)
I'll give a pass because of the historical relevance of the Day. But it seems that the media was hysterical.
What a crazy world we live in.
