I have a long memory. I remember MSNBC, in 2016, showing an empty podium on the main screen, that TSF would eventually be at, for over 30 mins. Think about that, 30 damn minutes on an empty podium.
All while Bernie Sanders was talking to a capacity crowd in a small inset window with no audio.

It was humiliating for our country how slavishly the news media desperately wanted his attention and I don't think a single thing has changed.
