Major News Networks Skip Live Carriage Of TFG's Ohio Rally [View all]
Donald Trumps latest rally was another greatest hits of media attacks, 2020 election falsehoods and long-held and more recent grievances, and while it drew a large in-person crowd in Wellington, Ohio, it didt get an audience on the three major cable news networks.
The reason: They didnt carry it.
C-SPAN carried the rally as part of its Road to 2024, as Trump is a potential candidate in the next election, and it also drew coverage on right wing outlets Newsmax and One America News Network. Fox News stayed with its Saturday night lineup of Watters World and Justice with Judge Jeanine; CNN featured an interview with former Vice President Al Gore, among other segments, and MSNBC had The Week with Joshua Johnson.
A big question following the 2020 presidential election was the level of coverage that news networks would give to Trump, who has the news value of being a potential contender in 2024. Yet as a former president no longer in the White House, he doesnt automatically warrant attention for his every utterance.
