8. Maybe CNN and MSNBC have learned a lesson?

They both helped get Trump elected by endlessly covering him and his rallies. Trump didn't have to spend campaign money he got free 24/7 press coverage. CNN was the leader in not showing the start of Trump's virus rallies, and MSNBC is catching on. They need to expand on that and just show clips after the rally is over. These coronavirus rallies just take the place of campaign rallies. Democrats need to get more air time to offset what Trump is doing once again.
