Give him wall to wall coverage when he opens his yap. They did that during the campaign and annoyed many of their faithful viewers. So I bet they see a significant drop in their viewers if they stay too long on his speeches. I was quite surprised and relieved to notice that MSNBC cut back to their panel in the studio and didn’t give him the floor for an hour of blather. I hope one day they will be okay with giving him no coverage. I am pretty sure no one except his die hard Base will notice his absence.
